I think they knew HBO was unhappy and it wasn't getting the numbers they were expecting. BUT, the last episode had 3 plus million viewers. Not so bad. That sucks about Mexico's abuse of the marine environment, especially when it affects the US right next door. Anyway, I hope the campaign to save it will get it another season.
