“Even Deadwood was slashed after three seasons. “
deadwood wasn’t slashed because of ratings, but because HBO didn’t want to pony-up for the high production costs anymore ...

The third reason was Milch himself. The dummy lost interest as he began to set his heart on the ill-fated boondoggle John From Cincinnati.
