I usually avoid spoilers about shows I watch. I deliberately do not read any spoilery news during hiatuses or any interviews with the creators and the main cast. There are exceptions, of course (lots of, to be honest). I’m not paranoid about spoilers. I never blame anybody for not using a cut tag where it is needed, because it’s all about my decision not to look at some stuff and not about someone else’s desire to post something. But sometimes my spoiler policy backfires on me mercilessly. Thus I missed the announcement of the airing dates of Sherlock (not a problem, actually). But what is more, I missed sad news about cancellation of Whitechapel. I loved the first season, I liked the second, I was a little bit disappointed in the 3rd and the 4th seasons, but I still love the characters. The creators introduced some intriguing plot devices in the last season and promised a complex mystery which would bind the events of all the previous seasons together. It was tremendously fascinating to find out that there was a reason for everything that had happened before; that the place and the crimes had not been picked up randomly. Who’s planned everything? What’s the purpose of it? Is there an invisible force that rules this world? Can future disasters be prevented? And now they announce that there will be no answers. Devastating news.
Shit. It’s been announced that Ripper Street has been cancelled too.
I don’t have any polite words to explain what I’m feeling right now.
