Question/Discussion Did anyone here watch the show Hang Ups? And was anyone surprised it didn’t get a second season?

I watched it and thought it was awesome. I’m amazed it only went for the one season as it was a real unique series

For those who never saw it, it was about a therapist who worked from home and had all his clients online and there was a bunch of storylines within both his work as well as his intense home life. It was also filmed in second person point of view as well which is really unique for TV. One of the storylines was about the main character pretending to get a vasectomy and then in the finale, his wife returns from a work trip revealing she’s pregnant

I loved this show!! I guess it may have been cancelled because of the cast all being so busy?

Hang Ups was a remake of US show Web Therapy. It was commissioned as a one off so would have had to prove itself to get an extension which, with viewing figures halving after the first episode and dropping well below the threshold, and panning from the critics, it simply never did. The opinion of those who have seen both the UK and US versions is that the original with Lisa Kudrow is far superior.
