I feel terrible for everyone involved, John Perrotta put what 3 1/2 or 4 years into this project to have it end this way is a damn shame! I know this show has taken plenty of shots on this board, which everyone is entitled to have their views of course. In my opinion this was a quality show, with a group of characters that this household was enjoying following. I think it's terrible that the show will not be around further to see what happens to these characters, cuz in my opinion the show was growing stronger with each episode. I'm am not sure if they had filmed all or any of season 2, but i hope the producers will put together a dvd package with any remaining episodes and release it at some future date.

Wondering if they're going to show the remaining two episodes of season one...

HBO claims that they will show the remaining episodes as planned.

Well, boo. I liked the show a lot.

Reading some viewer comments on Yahoo. Most people hated it becuase they could not understand the horse racing jargon, felt the actors were mumbling and it was a topic unrelatable.

Great article; looking forward to the last two first season episodes, and hope HBO repeats all nine and shows the ones that are already "in the can" for the second season.

Milch was on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson the other day. They showed a clip that was almost entirely jargon. Very little in the way of normal vocabulary. There's gotta be a sense of context or characters (I don't mean watching gamblers mid-gamble). Show Nolte or Hoffman who have other things going on and are, frankly, more famous draws. Hit newbies with the other stuff when they watch the show. I remember thinking that if I weren't already a fan of the sport, that clip would turn me off of trying to start watching Luck. It's dry when you just read out a string of wagers. It makes it sound like you're reading a math equation. Really bad idea to show it and expect anyone to go 'sign me up for that.' I really thought it was a missed opportunity.

I bet HBO execs tipped PETA off on the third death.

Sounds like they should have done some of those "webisodes" a la True Blood to explain some of the lingo.

I believe it's been cancelled immediately, so no remaining two shows. Or maybe cancelled immediately means production is cancelled and they will show the 2 shows?

I'm not sure

Yeah it was just a bad attempt at entertainment. Just because people have immense talent doesn't mean they can make good art every single time. This show seemed desperate from the start. It's understandable considering how awful the last few projects from Mann have been.
