    Never heard of this, but I’m assuming Biden isn’t doing anything to it. I doubt he cares at all. There’s so many other things that do more harm to him out there.

    It’s so weird when conspiracy theories form around things just failing because they didn’t do as well as they needed to. Most likely it just didn’t go over well, not anyone doing anything malicious to it. Better things have failed just as quickly. Firefly, for example, I’m pretty confident did not have the president involved in it. It just didn’t get the viewers it needed.

      No, it’s widely accepted that George Bush suppressed Firefly. It’s like the second most famous thing he did, after demanding the premature death of Arrested Development

      Naaah, hbo doesn’t let its property lapse like that. The show talks about reagan’s deal with iran to hold the hostages in '79. Obama let it get made and trump took it out of the torrent world, let alone streaming. Hbo sill isn’t allowed to air it.

      If you don’t think the us censors the entertainment, yer oblivious. The Beatles taught the right wing the importance of controlling the narrative. I could give a bunch of examples, but suspect you are impervious to new knowledge.

        Lol. Taking it out of the torrent world. How would you even do that? It sounds more like there wasn’t even enough interest for seeders to keep going if thats the case. No one has any power over torrents or they’d obviously use it to stop pirates and make more money.

        Also, HBO has canned many shows that don’t do well, like every other company trying to make money. You don’t send good money after bad.
