Maybe it's better this way, I don't know, I'd be glad if more seasons came out but... without my favorite characters, I'm not sure Plus, it's honestly true, Once is one of the lowest rated shows on tv. Ending with a great 2 hour finale would be my favorite option at this point. Agents of SHIELD seems more likely to return, I'm not okay with this, season 5 is great but it totally feels like a final season, I don't know how can they top that to be honest. Um, no. Once isn’t doing the best, but it’s certainly far from “one of the lowest rated shows on TV”, given its time slot, etc. (Technically it depends on your basis, because if it was so bottom-treading, it would have been cancelled months ago.)

We have to wait and see. Hoping that it’s cancelled is different from seeing the real status of the show. Ratings is one of several factors and in a four rung tier, Once is pretty much tertiary on ABC (but ABC does blow some networks out of the water.)
