Upon reading this thread, I searched for articles that explain the show's demise. This link explains the situation pretty well, even though it's speculative at best. *They also drop a plot spoiler, so if you haven't watched the 3rd season completely, you probably don't want to read the end of the article.* All that being said, it sounds like the show was too expensive for A & E. It did lose almost a million and a half viewers from the high point in its second season. I was one of them. It's a DVR viewing culture, and that changes the landscape for tv programmers. I thought the performances were stellar, but the story lines got (IMHO) far-fetched. No offense intended with my dopey opinion. The show might just end up somewhere on another channel. I hope so.
