Should Have Quit Winners
It happened with The Closer when Kyra Sedgewick left, and it happened to Queen of the South when Veronica Falcon and Joaquim de. Almeida left, and now it's happening to Animal Kingdom with the departure of Ellen Barkin. I'm talking about that slow (or sometimes rapid) slide downhill when the heart of the show is gone and the producers and writers are desperately struggling to keep a thing alive when the good ideas aren't coming any more.
I usually dislike TV series that are spun off from a film, but in the case of Animal Kingdom I've felt that the TV series was actually better than the film that it was based on. It's so sad that this show's producers didn't go out on a high note instead of trying to patch the hole left by Ellen Barkin's departure with the pointless flashbacks to "early Smurf".
