redsunrise comments on Netflix users furious after ‘excellent’ new series is cancelled

[–] redsunrise@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Why do they exclusively only cancel good shows (Mindhunter, Inside Job, now this) and keep up actual garbage?? I don't think Netflix has made a wise business decision ever, the only reason they're successful is because they were the first. They're lucky Blockbuster didn't buy them.

I personally think they should have given him a blank check to get him back, everyone has a price

I didn't sound like that was the issue, Fincher didn't want to work on TV anymore. Also why it appears Mindhunter is returning as films instead of another season.

I know but everyone has a price. Are the mindhunter films definitely happening?

Tbh they do also cancel low-rated shows too. You just don't care when they do.

Maybe garbage shows are cheaper to produce, or get better viewers-per-dollar-spent measurements?

I've read that they cancel most shows after two seasons because season 3 is usually when the cast renegotiates their salary and they're too cheap to pay them what their worth.
