Labeled by critics as "strange," "weird" and "unlikable," John never clicked with viewers despite a strong marketing campaign and such well-known leads as Rebecca De Mornay and Bruce Greenwood.
For the few devoted fans of the show, which David Milch (Deadwood) created with "surf noir" author Kem Nunn, the mysterious final line in the season finale--John saying, "Mother of God, Cass-Kai" over a shot of Kai (Keala Kennelly) surfing--will remain just that, a mystery.
Meanwhile, HBO is yet to decide the fate of its other summer freshman series, the comedy Flight of the Conchords.
It's been a rough summer for HBO, while basic cable networks have launched a slew of hit new series--USA Network's Burn Notice, Lifetime's Army Wives and TNT's Saving Grace, all renewed for a second season.
HBO's upcoming series include the drama In Treatment, the comedy 12 Miles of Bad Road and True Blood, the recently picked-up vampire drama by Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball.
