HBO Max Cancelling South Side Reignites Discussion About Cutting Shows
Real life
This is a bummer. South Side was one of the only pure fun shows left on TV or whatever you call it now. https://t.co/kTSAOpPUxX

There was so much promise
South Side had 28 episodes over 3 seasons. That’s ONE season by traditional network sitcom standards. Comedies need time to grow, and this one was sharp out of the gate. Imagine where it could have gone. https://t.co/m86oiB9L3b

Hysterical
I swear this is life imitating art. That was the very premise of the “Party Promoter” episode of “South Side.” pic.twitter.com/fJFH4tvXt4

Marketing is key
Canceling South Side during BHM is wild but it's genuinely mad to see HBO Max cancel so many of its quality shows. If they had promoted their content, especially to audiences who are YEARNING for shows like Gordita Chronicles, et al, maybe they could earn them $$ they lost 😭 https://t.co/bVHiv7QNHk
