    Probably because Netflix has a habit of often cancelling shows after a season or two. Why should viewers get invested in a shot if there’s a good chance they will be cancelled?

    Also, too many Netflix shows are pretty shit these days.

      Its not just Netflix these days. Every new show seems to start their life on the chopping block. If the first season doesn’t get enough views in the first few days its out then season two doesn’t even get made. If it does do okay then they get to start writing a second season, which means another 2 years before we get a second season and by then we have completely forgotten the show until you read about it getting cancelled 2 weeks after season 2 came out because nobody tuned in.

      Yup I’ve decide I won’t watch a show that isn’t finished at this point. I’ve fallen in love with too many just to watch them get canceled.

      The OA was so good and they fucking canceled it, I’ll never subscribe to their service ever again for that.

        Saaame. I got so angry when they canceled it. It broke my trust in them to deliver an end to any shows. Then they kept doing it. Left quite a long time ago and will not go back. There’s just nothing worth the money on Neflix.

          Yup they just aren’t willing to allow a show to take time to establish themselves, many people won’t discover a show until its a few seasons in or even finished yet they can’t stand it if a show doesn’t get lots of views in season one.
