Vincere il tempo: l'ascesa della dinastia dei Lakers

One of my favorite shows of all time is cancelled by so called lack of viewers? Can someone tell me how does that work. I'll be the first to say I did not want to watch the show until it was completed cause it would make my nerves bad waiting for the last episode. So how do you claim viewership is low before ppl like me, who loved the show, even saw it. All the garbage that's released on HBO, and they have the audacity to end this series prematurely. The run way was so deep for this show. Anyways, it just goes to show that there were powerful ppl behind the scenes that didn't want this to go as far as it appeared it would go. I believe Jennie Buss and Magic Johnson had a lot to do with the show's demise, as if their lives wouldn't have been entertainment. She had no problem letting the depict her father a certain way, but as soon as she was coming up in the story, Jeanie shut it down. It's pathetic honestly. I just want to encourage everyone to go watch the show still. It's a beautifully told story. Maybe a little bit dramatic on how they described people's personalities, but that's all for entertainment. I've yet to hear any criticism about this show besides from the characters being played in it. The just didn't like how they were portrayed. Since, the show was supposed to be about entertainment in the end, they absolutely did a fantastic job. Shame on HBO for canceling the show. After I watch the season two I'll be canceling my subscription. I can't support a company who's that shallow and can be bought or manipulated by an outsider.

I don't know if every detail is correct and I don't care. This show is FUN. The depiction of jerry west is hysterical; I wouldn't be surprised if jerry has already sued the show. I never rooted for the Lakers though I always admired their style. This series takes you back to a time when sports was about competition and fun and not about slogans on the court.

I wasn't even going to watch it. From the trailers, I thought it would be campy and irritating, but it's not.

The comedy bits are actually well developed through excellent dialog, not just pratfalls and such. There is serious subject matter touched on as well. It is really well cast. The actors cast may be caricatures of the basketball players they represent, but they are enjoyable caricatures, highlighting their most endearing or confounding traits.

I see many people do not like the portrayals of their all-time favorite basketball stars because they are not exact. I had no aspersions this was going to be a fact-based drama, I thought it was going to be more of an "Airplane" shtick-filled, goof fest.

I don't know how accurate it all is, because clearly some of the scenes are entirely fabricated (Clearly!). Some of the setups are for the comedic or dramatic effect and that's totally fine.

Overall, well directed, great cast, great writing. I recommend this to anyone, not just basketball lovers.

Now I freakin loved this show, the atmosphere, mood, music, actors, directors, writers all a total slam dunk. But yet again, HBO pulls the plug. Haven't seen a piece like this since Vinyl. And yeah, HBO put that out of rotation too.

Apparently it's due to lack of viewers and poor marketing. So what does it take to get a great and solid show to run several seasons? Atleast let the cast and writers complete the third season.

But then again, I guess we live in a world now, where there's 19 different reality shows about Kim Kardashian's tail. Or about two overweight sisters competing about who can eat their way into an oversized coffin first.

What can ya say?

Pull the plug!

Adam McKay is a masterful director to start off the series, most of his projects are great especially the drama ones, Step Brothers and Anchorman are excellent as well. Winning Time is better than I expected it's fun, very well made all around and powerful acting that is captivating! I don't even know much about basketball would still recommend the series.
