Agent Carter: The Context Of Its Cancellation, And The Petition To Save It
At this point, it is almost tradition. A television network cancels a series, and fans of that series revolt. Back in the day, devotees would organised letter-writing campaigns, and inundate studios and network offices with missives pleading for their favorite show to be renewed. In this modern era, with the rise of social media, the reaction time is greatly reduced. Now, Twitter fills with bitter tears, and digital petitions are quickly circulated.
