On one hand I'm disappointed, but it's better for a novel adaptation to go out strong than to be dragged out into nothingness like The Handmaid's Tale or The Man in the High Castle.

They only managed to adapt a third of the book. That is hardly going out on a high. It would have been better to just make this as a miniseries from the get go!

Figured this thing was doomed when the season ended so abruptly.

That last episode felt weird, like it was unfinished somehow.

Fan of the book but living in Europe so waiting until it is available here before watching.

So I am actually surprised that it wasn't a mini series. It's not too long of a book. If they could get all of The Handmaid's Tale (314 pages) into a 10 episode run, it feels like you could hit most of Kindred (287 pages) into an 8 episode run.

With Disney looking to enact a bit of cost cutting and Paramount and WBD both pulling dead content to save cash I’d not be surprised if Disney follow their lead and Kindred never makes it to Europe. It is a dead show without a conclusion. Airing it is pretty pointless at this stage.
