Love Life was one of the first HBO Max original shows to premiere on their streamer on the day it was launched. Fans of the show are appreciative of its warmth, wholesomeness, and relatability.

That being said, HBO Max has not only canceled the show but also plans on removing it from their platform.

Netizens have claimed that HBO does not care about their subscribers and that they are removing shows that people adore. Fans have been predicting the network's downfall since HBO Max merged with Warner Bros. Discovery in April 2022.

They also said that the only show HBO cares about is their hit series, Game of Thrones, and the rest are just there for the sake of it.

"Is there even anything on HBO Max anymore?", said a dejected fan. This was a callout to HBO Max for not just canceling Love Life but also a number of fan-favorite shows like Westworld, Minx, The Nevers, and many more this year.

Fans hope that HBO Max can redeem itself by launching top-tier shows because these rapid cancelations have made people contemplate whether paying for a subscription is even worth it.

This is the second reported cancelation of a Lionsgate series at HBO Max this week, with Minx getting axed first.
