Salvation was a show about an ice age causing asteroid pummeling towards Earth. At least that is how it was pitched. After a few episodes, it turned in an international political drama. By the time they got into the second season, it had become unwatchable. At least for me. And the millions of others who tuned out.
The ratings were a bigger disaster than the one they were facing. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Variety reports it was canceled.
Now we will never if the asteroid turned out to be aliens visiting us. Yeah, that is how the show ended. And they wonder why they won’t be back for another season.
Dear CBS, please stop doing Sci-Fi shows in the summer, you always mess them up. See Under the Dome, Extant, Zoo and now Salvation.
