Reason Behind the Cancellation of Shooter Season 4

The Series dealt with chaos from the beginning as the release date was delayed due to some real-life tragedies. Post-premiere, the Series performed well in the 1st Season, but over the course, it fell consistently with a concern that the 4th Season would be even more down if premiered.

A critical opinion concluded that “Ryan Phippippes’ efforts weren’t seen enough to salvage Shooter, the series, a tedious underdeveloped drama that lacks an original voice or perspective.”

Although this was the only reason for the cancellation of the series, Shooter is doing pretty well on Netflix.

As per the Los Angeles Times, the series was criticized not only for its uncomfortable topic but also for its “no point of view” sense, especially regarding the complicated issue it brings with returning veterans to convert military operations to gum culture.

The show seems to be a cusp between an American Sniper and the Fugitive, which indeed sounds enticing on paper but does not contain any emotional heft nor the latter taut suspense.

Viewers are disappointed about the cancellation of the series, which falls short in entertainment and social commentary. Though many believe that the finale of Season 3 was frustrating, they still are expecting more seasons.
