If nothing else, we’re sure that the show has at least managed to inspire other producers to look in the same direction, so we would expect to see some results of that sooner or later. It may not be immediately recognizable, but this production will definitely leave its mark on the industry.
The important thing for fans now is to stay optimistic, and remember that the show at least had a good run while it was on. If it has to go away because the producers couldn’t find a way to make it marketable, that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
On the other hand, there are some more positive rumors about the second half of season four, including some new characters joining the cast, as well as exciting developments in the lives of the main couple.
It’s also possible that the new episodes may lean a bit more heavily on the side of dramatic developments, putting characters in difficult situations on a regular basis. It sounds like the producers are planning a good mix between drama and positivity, and as long as the show’s charm is still there, that’s all fans would need to call it a good season. The only thing we can hope for is that if the show does have to end after season four, the writers at least leave things on a good note instead of the rumored bad developments.
