Our Take On The Bondsman Season 2
Oleson Was Taking A Risk
Oleson employed a risky tactic when approachingThe Bondsmanseason 1 ending. While its final moments could give great momentum for renewal, the tantalizing tease could be frustrating if the show ends up getting cancelled. Many streamers cancel series after just one or two seasons, so the Bacon show’s future is far from certain. If the risk pays off, however, Oleson may have crafted the perfect way to bridge the gap between seasons.
