It’s never a good day to learn a fan-favorite show will come to an end without warning, and such is the case for viewers of Netflix’s V Wars, which was canceled after one season on March 30.

The series, which is based on the comics by Jonathan Maberry and Alan Robinson, starred The Vampire Diaries‘ Ian Somerhalder and Adrian Holmes (Supernatural, Letterkenny). It follows the story of Dr. Luther Swann (Somerhalder) as his world turns to horror when his best friend, Michael Fayne (Holmes), is transformed into a homicidal monster by a mysterious disease.

When the disease begins to spread, society begins to divide into opposing factions — “normal” people pitted against the diseased, who are seen as “vampires.” While the season depicts Dr. Swann’s efforts to combat the disease, Fayne becomes the leader of the vampires.

Needless to say, fans weren’t pleased with the cancellation, as the show left many open ends in its finale episode. Below, we’re rounding up some of the biggest reactions from viewers so far.

#savevwars They gave the best of themselves, and the result has been great, as we saw, it was the most streamed in most countries. It has a great pilot, an energetic cast and a great attention for details.#vwars @netflix
