I'm not the greatest Peter Dinklage fan but he played Hercule

I hope they make more.

Hopefully that means there will be another season.

Please tell me season #2 doesn't end on a cliffhanger!
If they're smart, they'll wrap it up - going in, the odds of a season #3
were minuscule...

They have three more episodes to go (an 8 episode season) so I don't
know how the season will end. Just saw some comments supposedly coming
from the case, over on Reddit, that make it seem like the cast is
hoping for a season 3. So they clearly must not wrap up the story at
the end of season 2.

In fact, there are a number of roles where Sean Bean survives thru the
end, the most surprising apparently being the two "Silent Hill" flicks!
- I haven't seen either in ages (and didn't like them), but I am told
that Bean survives even the end of the sequel!

Another example is his TNT TV show, "Legends", which Bean was the lead of.
