ā€˜The Rookie: Fedsā€™ Canceled at ABC ā†— \n

By Lesley Goldberg at The Hollywood Reporter:

\n
\n

The Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes wiped out the September start and with production expected to resume in the coming weeks, ABC ultimately had no need for a second season of Feds, starring Niecy Nash-Betts.

\n
\n

Was The Rookie: Feds a particularly great show? Not really. Did I enjoy watching it every week anyway? You bet I did. Iā€™m not surprised it was canceled, but this is still a bummer to see.

\n

I hope the cast will continue showing up in The Rookie. Those crossover episodes were delightful.

@elliotali Iā€™m currently sticking with Backblaze for off-site backups and an attached SSD for a local Time Machine backup. My Backblaze subscription was renewed shortly before the price increase, so I want to get my moneyā€™s worth on that expense.

I do have a spare Synology floating around somewhere; I think Iā€™ll use that for other purposes until next year when the Backblaze subscription comes due again. Iā€™ll probably switch over then.
