May is always an uneasy month for fans of American TV. As the major networks confirm their schedules for the autumn season, the axe inevitably falls on some fan favourites. This year there has been outcry as the likes of Lucifer, Designated Survivor and Brooklyn Nine-Nine have all been cancelled (although the latter has since been rescued by NBC).
