HBO fan The western world were shocked at the end of last week when the award-winning dystopian sci-fi drama was canceled before its fifth season . Despite that twisted plots and an exciting commentary on humanity versus artificial intelligence, The western world apparently it fell victim to an aggressive cost-cutting mandate issued by the network.
