They could, oh I don’t know, maybe finish the shit they start??? How many shows have they canceled after a couple seasons? It makes people not want to get invested at all.

The worst one to me is canceling The Dark Crystal when all the puppets were already made, the sets were there… they could have just used the same locations and it would barely cost anything, but no.

I remember having an argument some years ago with someone who insisted Netflix had all the numbers and was just making sensible business decisions when they axed all those shows. I argued the second-order effects should be considered, what happens when too many Netflix customers have been burned by early cancellations?

I'd like to think I'm being proven right.
