Denis O'Hare wants Emmy voters to send Netflix a message. The actor, whose series The Boroughs was canceled by Netflix after one season, posted a video to Instagram on Saturday urging fans to cast their Emmy votes for the show before the voting window closes.
"So, it's Saturday and I'm just thinking about the fact that Netflix canceled 'The Boroughs' and how really bummed I am because it was such a great show, it was such a great show and people really seem to love it," O'Hare said in the video, according to The Wrap.
O'Hare said the response from viewers had surprised him. "I've been astounded how many people have come up to me and talked about how much they like the show and not just like, you know, old people but I'm talking about anybody, people who are, you know, in their 30s or 40s with kids."
He then laid out his plan. "Everyone seemed to find something to relate to. Anyway, so I think we still have a couple of days before the end of Emmy voting that everyone should just vote for 'The Boroughs.' You can vote for me if you like. But also like Bill Pullman and Alfre Woodard and Alfie [Alfred] Molina and Geena Davis and Clarke Peters, Seth Numrich, Alice Kremelberg and vote for 'The Boroughs' for Best Series and, you know, stick it to Netflix and let them know that they made a mistake, you know, because I think that would be sweet revenge. Anyway, I love the show, I miss it and, you know, whatever."
The Boroughs debuted to positive reviews and drew 5.6 million viewers in its opening weekend. Viewership climbed to 9.6 million before falling to 3.7 million. The show was produced by the Duffer Brothers, the creators of Stranger Things, who also released the limited series Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen in March of this year.
