7 Biggest HBO Flops Of All Time

With the announcement that, oops, Vinyl won’t be getting a second season after all, HBO has done that thing they so rarely do: pull the plug on a show after only one year. Usually, even the lowest rated shows will be brought back for an encore, either on the basis of prestige or keeping good relationships with talent or just because someone up there likes it. To be one-and-done at HBO is a lot bigger deal than just getting quietly cancelled after a year on CBS. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 7 biggest HBO flops of all time.

But surely there are other aspects we’ve learned throughout the years from various flops that prove there are some common threads among the biggest blockbuster failures. For example, a movie set entirely on the ocean? A big gamble for a small payoff. Kevin Costner in a starring role? It was once a boon, but after Waterworld Costner became a problematic movie star. A mixed tone that combined the ridiculously serious with hokey comic elements amid a larger theme that warned about the perilous aftermath of climate change? That was probably it, to be honest.
