On August 1, 2025, HBO announced the cancellation of And Just Like That ..., a show that managed to encapsulate the post-2020 collective consciousness. The series was likened to a state of mind, characterized by confusion and irreverence. It was a platform for exploring wild national sentiments and was described as both flawed and wonderfully captivating. The cancellation sparked feelings of loss, as the show represented an unstable yet free artistic endeavor, raising questions about its lasting impact and significance in contemporary culture.
And Just Like That ... was a state of mind, and that mind was in a coma.
AJLT was flawed, but it stood for something. I don't know what, but something.
There was something renegade about it, something deeply irreverent. It was confusing. It was unstable. It was reckless.
And Just Like That ... remained a fascinating object for every moment of its brief and wonderful life.
