Underrated

[deleted]

HBO Max has an awesome library of content and renews even mid-tier shows that nobody talks about. They did recently axe a lot of kids/family stuff though but I’m child free so I don’t care.

I would punch my own mother in the face to get another Archive 81 season. That show was so compelling and it scared the fuck out of me at times.

Wdym reprinting is scummy, they should reprint everything, these are game pieces they should be accessible.

I think it was already an expensive show, but iirc season 3 was in production right as the pandemic hit and it was just never picked up again. :,^)

Glad they cracked the case

No one per season. Which is why it's so good. It's also portrays the beginning of criminal psychology and profiling.

More of a simple tautology.

I wouldn't mind having one without all the weaponization or overly aggressive defenses. Definitely not a daily driver, but kind of "mean" looking

Corinth is famous for its leather!

I mean it’s hard for a show to be successful when it’s not running, so …

Futurama predicted this for L.A. soccer moms' every driving need in The Cryonic Woman.

At the rate we seem to be going these features will be a service.

For $119.00 a year, uou can add the pepper spray attachment and fog horn.

The add-ons exist to get deposits and will quietly become unavailable or available at a future date if the thing gets close to production. This article will be aggregated, leading to more exposure, more deposits, another round of investments, followed by increasingly infrequent updates, and ultimately, a YouTube video about what happened to the company.

Ever since I learned Al Capone dropped out of school because when a teacher hit him, he hit the teacher back, I've found the idea of corporal punishment working even more ridiculous

Everyone in the thread is like "WRONG" but provide zero examples of a successful show that was cancelled. They list shows they like that not enough people watched to even come close to warranting further production.

2nd season just became generic bland scifi. Did their budget get cut or something?

The Expanse was originally a SyFy network show. Netflix just paid for streaming rights. After season 2, SyFy cancelled the show. Amazon picked it up and produced the later seasons. Netflix never "cancelled" the Expanse as they didn't produce the show.

It's fair to assume that Amazon had absolutely no interest in letting Netflix acquire streaming rights for seasons 3, 4 and 5 and Netflix had no interest in putting up only the first 2 seasons when everyone who gets into the show would have to move over to Prime Video to continue watching it.

When a show is cancelled early, rights holders shop it around. It's possible Netflix and others had interest in acquiring the show. If they did, they were outbid by Amazon.

In other words, Netflix management is unable to consistently develop successful shows.

Came here to ask if he meant candy caning.

People who have subscribed to Netflix for years will only cancel their Netflix accounts when they think Netflix will not have enough good content in the future.

"Never cancelled a successful show" a fair thing to say when subscriber counts are growing. It's incorrect when subscriber counts fall. A successful show isn't one that gets a lot of viewers. A show is successful when it is the reason people don't cancel their subscription.

I cancelled my Netflix account. If I thought they would continue to put out and support stuff like The OA and Altered Carbon, I would still have a subscription. Instead they decided to acquire a bunch of what would have been considered straight-to-video content in the days of Blockbuster.
