I’m hopeful
Yes, yes, yes ….
While DS does not reach the same level of excellence as The West Wing, IMHO, DS is 1 of the better US shows broadcast over the last 2 years.
TBH, I find the US networks make some weird decisions when it comes to renewals/cancellations. For example, iZombie, The Flash and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. all get renewed, whilst Dark Matter, Designated Survivor & The Expanse get cancelled … lets hope Netflix pick up The Expanse as well since I think they broadcast/streaming rights outside of North America.
