I don’t watch shows on Netflix any more until they come to a conclusion. They cancel shit so often that I can’t know that whatever I choose to watch on there will wrap up and come to a satisfying end or not.
People start waiting to watch shows due to cancellations, Netflix sees viewership is down and cancels show early, more people start waiting for new shows.
Nah, they’ve always been like this. The two-season limit has been A Thing since early on.
Which is dumb as hell considering their early success with The Office. They know people want a big-ass series they can watch over and over. Doing that in-house should be a dead easy way to prevent competition (until we claw back mandatory syndication from these bastard petit monopolies) and avoid licensing their cash cow from another company.
What really pisses me off are the showrunners who do cliffhanger endings anyway. You know you’re not getting a third season! You aren’t doing Stranger Things numbers. Don’t blame the lawnmower when you stick your hand in, you know it’s gonna cut you short and feel nothing.
Raised by Wolves was killed by David Zaslav when HBO was brought by Discovery. The is the reason Discovery switched from educational programmes to reality TV. He ruins everything he touches.
This is why I mostly only watch their limited series, since its always one season and done. Not always good (eg Bodies is nowhere as good as Dark), but at least it ends.
Netflix doesn’t promote shows, they drop them all in one day killing any ability to talk with people you know about them, and they kill their most popular titles to save money. They’re much worse than old school TV that needed to, at least, pretend to care about the shit they made.

I wonder if this is a cyclic issue.

HBO Discovery Max whatever did this with Raised by Wolves too, so I think all the players are rethinking their content

IMO Raised by Wolves had a strong start, but was already fading by the end of the first season.
Raised by Wolves made no sense and I had no idea where it was going. So naturally I’m disappointed that it got cancelled.
I only really watch Mike Flanagan’s stuff on there. Pretty much just makes single complete seasons, done.

I mean that’s not any different than ever. Tv shows get cancelled all the time regardless of their platform.

I can’t think of anything worse than a satisfying ending.
