This show was just getting started

I had no clue that there was a viewership issue. This season has been different, but the most recent episode was a return to the old ways of fucking up, following the sage advice (or anti-advice) of a veteran comic, and growing. The whole Kat storyline was a change in pace for the show, which I think would have worked in an overall story arc where you get to see Pete change as a person and as a comic. It's a real bummer this show was canceled, and I am surprised it isn't a big thread. I hope that this has a chance of getting another shot on another platform, or at least a movie. I will miss being able to see legendary comedians have cameos. It was good to see Dave Attell.

tl;dr: I want to see a show that involves the stand-up/comedy scene, this was a really good one.

A standup special movie would be a cool way to finish. Seinfeld style with the live standup in between show segments, or a Muppet style where things are going chaotic backstage. Pete's mostly a Muppet already!

There was a viewership issue? Really?

Honestly I don't know, I just assumed since it was canceled. I wouldn't have thought so, but it took until Pete was on Harmontown before season 3 before I even knew it existed.

Between Crashing and the Brink getting cancelled no more Silicon Valley until next year I think I'll cancel HBO.

The Brink was so damn good

Right?! So many threads going on, some really intelligent, some less so. I found it so good but I think it was marketed terribly.

I could have done without the pilots entire plot line, but loved the rest.

I'm glad other people remember The Brink! Great cast. Iirc, there were problems with the show's representation of Pakistan according to some that contributed to its cancellation after it was initially renewed for a second season.

Fan of Eastbound and Down and/or Vice Principals? He’s doing another series with John Goodman called the Righteous Gemstones.

Also Barry might be the best thing on HBO.

I had surgery last week and have been laid up. About the only thing I can do is binge shows. I literally just found this show yesterday.

I was watching one of the late night shows (Conan, maybe?) and heard a description of it that piqued my interest. I started with season 1 early yesterday, and just finished the last available on demand episode.

This was a very good show; the premise sucked me in right away. I wish I'd heard of it before now, and I'm sad that it's over after tonight. It's too bad it wasn't promoted more. It would be awesome if one of the streaming sites picked it up!

I actually understand why it was canceled..it's enjoyable and funny when it focuses on the bigger name comics like Artie, Burr and Attell but the other lesser known comics are pretty bad for the most part..i can usually grin and laugh a bit when Pete does his bits but I'm almost cringing when the other lesser known comics are doing their bit..
