In normal circumstances, we probably wouldn’t bother to report on the death of a TV show so mysterious that nothing is known about its concept, its characters, or even its titles; TV shows die all the time, often without even a sliver of themselves being exposed to the light of day.
But, then, most of these mystery shows weren’t created by Matthew Weiner, whose Mad Men helped establish the boundaries of modern Prestige TV. (Even if his follow-up series, The Romanoffs, made far less striking an impression.) Certainly his name remained big enough in the realm of TV that it made headlines when FX announced it was working with him on a new half-hour dramedy in 2020, with all details kept completely under wraps.
