      I don’t understand why Netflix doesn’t just make movies instead of TV shows.

      Or make short series instead of multi-season.

      They are good at making great first season TV but then if it doesn’t get their magic number they cancel it and leave their customers hanging.

      Just make the one season as an open and closed thing and call it that so no one gets their expectations up.

      If it becomes some awesome hit thing, make an actual series as an offshoot / spinoff type thing.

        Netflix only cares about new subs. New IPs drive new subs. New seasons of old IPs are money spent on people who are already customers. They make one season of a show you’ve been waiting for, you sign up, you watch that season, they cancel the show, statistically speaking you probably don’t cancel your subscription and then they redirect that money to running the same game on someone else.

    “Happy”, I think a lot of people overlooked it because Christopher Meloni having a cartoon unicorn as a companion seemed cheesy, but the show wasn’t afraid to dive into truly horrific plot lines.

    The less-grounded corner of my brain thinks the show was cancelled because it was openly talking about skeletons in the closets of network executives.

    Not exactly a cancelation, but Star Trek TNG. All of the characters were far more developed than TOS’s, which is why they didn’t work as well in movies. Better for them to have their own episodes than to unsuccessfully have them share a movie. Any of them could have been just as good, if not better, as multi-part episodes.

    Inside Job.

    I didn’t really watch shows on Netflix and I couldn’t care less about people complaining about their shows being cancelled left and right. But Inside Job was recommended by my friend and I loved it. After finding out it was cancelled after 2 seasons, I finally understood the pain these people were feeling all along…
