HNY19-Ill Fated TV Series, 'Taken' Traditional Cache

We all love TV series. They draw us in and keep us coming back each week, intently following each story line. We feel connected to the characters and develop strong opinions as to how or why each one makes decisions and drives the course of the plot. We identify with the characters. We laugh, cry, cheer them on and worry about them. Stories become places for us to escape. To forget our own troubles for a time and entertain our senses. Good TV series keep audiences loyal and coming back season after season, wanting more. Other times a series doesn't quite catch on or ellicit the kind of favortism and appeal as it's creator may have hoped for. So for all those ill fated TV series of the last 10 years, this series of HNY caches is a tribute to them.

'Taken' is a crime drama series based on the eponymous film trilogy of the same name. The series acts as a modern-day origin story. Clive Standen stars as a younger version of Bryan Mills, the character played by Liam Neeson in the trilogy. The series was commissioned with a straight-to-series-order in September 2015 and premiered on February 27, 2017, on NBC. NBC renewed the series for a second season of 16 episodes on May 9, 2017, which premiered on January 12, 2018. NBC removed the series from its schedule on April 18, 2018, and then announced that it would return on May 26, 2018. NBC canceled the series on May 11, 2018, and the final episode aired June 30.

Ten years. A milestone to celebrate for some things such as HNY19, and for others a reminder that not everything can stand the test of time. Congrats to Glenn Six and his crew for putting on the most amazing New Year's Day event our area has had for the last 10 years and hope to see it continue for many more. Enjoy the day, the new year and all your caching adventures.
