Bear in mind that not every show that gets cancelled was "great." Some were awesome, but some... not so much.

Disney when a teen fantasy cartoon with great plot and characters acknowleges that non-heteronormative people exist.
benoodel
1899 was amazing RIP. (and inside job but people have mentioned that)
Calicoastin818
Ash vs Evil Dead

Inside Job, nooooo
Couchwarrior1337
If Paranormal Park is cut next I am going John Wick on their asses.
Tynford
Not Netflix exactly, but Final Space. Fucking Final Space was so goofy and stupid for the first few episodes, then it sunk its claws in me.
Tynford
And after the enormous season 3 cliffhanger that basically has the entire universe fucked for eternity, they cancel the god damned thing.
Tynford
And then! Some bullshit about a tax write off from WB and the show will be removed from every streaming service. It’s being erased.

Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I will never not be bitter about it.
JohnMike64
Let's hire a writing team whose sole talking point is cast diversity and inclusion. Do they know how to write fuck knows.
JohnMike64
Certainly can't weave in their vast diversity into medieval settings with any form of believability. GOT got it right years ago.
alex5775
Why not?
JohnMike64
Not that you can't it's that the writers for these failing shows can't do it. It all seems like token x person to me now
Crunkmaster5000XXXL
How did Chicago Party Aunt get a second season?!?!
CrownPrincessAzula
I'm very worried to say the least.
PerpetuityPhoto
Did they have a big fanbase? Or did you just know a lot of people who liked it because you met based on liking it.
MaximumFailure
Now this is good content
DangerTrain
Oh man brickleberry and those clones are truly, truly terrible.
2graves
Ugh yes
sesnut
"huge" fanbase. they can see whos watching the thing you know
RuBisCO1
Anyone waiting for Dota Dragons Blood Season 4?
DoomSquirter
us wyrms are very much waiting, yesssssssssss
MonsieurBrochant
When they cancel a show, can't other platforms take over?
Jaxotea
normally the rights revert after a length of time (1,2,5years?) otherwise the other studio has to buy the rights, but normally at a discount
sesnut
why would they? not enough people watched it to keep making it. thats the point the op glossed over
MonsieurBrochant
Maybe a platform with different standards I don't know
TheSupremeCrabMaster
Netflix execs only like mid shows with hollow caricatures of people, written by tools who stubbornly refuse to improve their writing:
CannotBeBanned
I liked the live action cowboy Bebop. It wasn't the anime and seemed to be adding its own little twist.
DoomSquirter
and they cancelled it with only a tiny bit of EDDDWAAARRRD
2graves
Lol I thought they added that in to show why some characters don't work well in live action
CannotBeBanned
I hate the way Netflix cancels things. Just because I didn't have time to watch it right away they decide it did poorly.
Filanwizard
I feel like companies suck up IPs purely to lock them up so someone else cannot make money off the license.
GeneralNuclear
It's a dick measure competition towards other rich dudes, literally the behold my stuff meme.
mardukkur
I feel like 99% of everything used to be completely ignored by media companies and now it's 98%.
umbabrahattasil
Yea, and to eventually make money selling the rights to a competitor once they’ve abandoned it.
Theory89
Night Sky. The Imperfects. The OA. Sense8.
adiving
Right, so I've seen sense8 and absolutely love it. And now I see 3 other series which I'd probably like as well... but know in advance are >
adiving
> unfinished.... hmmmmmmmm.
Theory89
If you want a single season show that was meant to be only one then I highly recommend The Man Who Fell To Earth. Chiwetel Ejiofor is fuckin
Theory89
brilliant in it, and Rose Byrne is also great. Plus great small role for Bill Nighy.
DoomSquirter
sense8 was great. the "wet bouncy sploosh" of a strapon heard around the world. lmao it was great for other things too tho
FuzzyX
Messiah was an awesome series but killed from day 1 due to the pandemic (global filming) and Netflix concerns (hitting religious extremism).
TacoPuncher
Isn't Sense8 getting a movie to end it's story
Theory89
It got one already. I just didn't feel it adequately finished it. But yeah, better than nothing at all for sure.
mardukkur
The OA was fucking terrible.
2graves
Slow start, gets great, gets weird, ends
Theory89
I respectfully disagree.
FuzzyX
The OA had a terrible ending.
ThisGuyPostingThings
Season 1 was one of the worst shows I've ever seen. My friends and I are astounded when we see love for it. It was horrendous.
rouzuki
Meanwhile Big Mouth is on its what, 6th season? AND it has a spin off?
Snooj
Because it's fucking great.
Theory89
It was until season 6. This latest one is abysmal. They chucked out the stories about being a teenager and replaced them with absurdity.
KobaandChurchill4eva
no, just no. "Ooooh, masturbation! Look at the minor, rubbing her cooch on a stuffed caterpillar!"
lordvetinariofankhmorpork
what the holy hell is Big Mouth
Theory89
A cartoon on netflix written by nick kroll. It has some very funny depictions of what it's like to be a teen.
NotTinyPancakes
Messed up
alex5775
It has some kinda funny moments and enough animated middle school genitals to kill that bit of comedy

Cost + Viewership + Finishing. As in... How many people who start the series finish watching it... Apparently Finishing is a huge deal.
2graves
Yeah Netflix has reminded me to finish said before lol
CannotBeBanned
Thing is there's so much content, it'll be months before I watch Sandman. And sometimes I wait to see if it's cancelled
ThisGuyPostingThings
And also how soon they do that after release. Evidently, there is a severe dropoff after season 2, when contracts get more expensive.
PineappleLoopsBroether
I’d think more people would finish stuff considering how many people like me need tv on to go to sleep.
Mxlespxles
So my wife tells me
TheRearNakedGuy
Ayooooooooo

No wonder she’s unhappy.

Don't forget Amazon. They're not gonna let Netflix have the monopoly on absolutely destroying beloved IPs
aninjanamedwaldo
At least Invincible is good
metroid2
It took working a job in retail to be able to ween myself off Amazon. I used to have a bad purchasing addiction. Got rid of prime in July.
GnikNella
Because you can no longer afford Amazon on retail wage?
metroid2
Kinda but less dire than that. It finally sunk in that I would have to work x hours for y product
MyNameGifOreilly
I love that they save the expanse
mardukkur
Gave it some extra seasons but still killed it before the end.
BananFitPlayer
Yeah, I appreciate everything we got but the ending was absolutely a kill off.
JohnMike64
It's easy though the expanse has the original writer as the show writer.
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
For now, they're doing a great job with The Boys. ...For now... *sweats nervously in fan boy*
Genriu
As long as it doesn’t end the same way as the comics.
crookedhindlegoni
Don't downvote this guy. He right.
crookedhindlegoni
Comic was shit, they are making it better.r
TacoPuncher
How'd that go?
Genriu
As one person put it, "Kid got bored and smashed all their toys." Pretty much just killing everyone in a gruesome way.
BobbyVegana
the epilogue was not great
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Butcher gets his revenge, in a manner of speaking, and then some. It's pretty brutal, as to be expected of the comic.
epyonwing
Amazon absolutely ruined The Wheel of Time in about 3 episodes. They got names right, thats about it.
Zimno
I was really hyped for it too. Was just so awful in so many ways. Even if you watched it without the books it's just a bad show.
Wusl0n
I totally forgot that this one even existed. If you didnt knew it were a high Budget show youd think its an 80s trashshow

The Witcher, Inside Job...when will it end

Well hey now, they only ruined the Witcher.

Inside job??? Nooo! I just found it and I love it.
vanderzee
1899, Dirk Gently's, Marco Polo, Crazyhead and so many others com to mind - fuck netflix execs!!

Well, it definitely didn't end with Mindhunter
CaptKirkCameronDiaz
Mindhunter was so good
imintohandholding
Final Space
IxnayOnTheOttenRay
I like Inside Job. Am I supposed to not because of the derivative art style?
DoomSquirter
cowboy bebop! they didn't even give it a chance!
loma45
I loved the first half of it... but the Vicious/Julia arc was just hard to watch. They should have stuck to the fun outlaw motif for longer
DoomSquirter
yeah but that's the whole point of giving it a chance. hardly any show hits it's stride in the first season/couple of episodes.
2graves
There were so many haters though
LincLoud
Glitch Techs too
SuperfluousMeh
What's happened with Inside Job? Has that been canceled now? Netflix loves to cancel after season 3.
LupusLilium
Urgh, and I just found out today that Dead End was canceled too.
LupusLilium
Season 1, it was a two part release IIRC.
arbitrarium
Bah! I enjoyed it!
StevieTheAussie
1/ When creators stop letting companies like these get their fingers into their works. Companies like these literally make their money by

2/ piggy-backing off of the creativity and ingenuity of others; then charging others exorbitant prices to watch/consume the pieces.
Clemptor
Warrior Nun, Archive 81, 1899
MediaBlitz
And now Archive 81 and 1899 are both canceled?! ...FCUK!
Clemptor
yep, netflix can suck a ball bag.
Jaxotea
if you liked Archive 81 it was based on a Podcast, go listen to the original material :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive_81_(podcast)
2graves
I mean 81 was a complete story at least
52cupsofcoffee
Im still mad about Altered Carbon
CaptKirkCameronDiaz
Me too.
GorillaPowers
Yeah. I'm also really mad that season 2 was such garbage
witchOfTheEast
Same. Got my partner to watch S1 with me (my 3rd time, their 1st) but told them we would not watch S2 cause it was total BS.
monkeyfett8
When they cancelled Santa Clarita Diet was the day I unsubscribed. Too many other services to put up with that.
JohnTheFrost
I loved season 1.
mehmeup
Or Dark Crystal.
mardukkur
They fucked up the story so badly in season one there was no way to do a credible season two and it showed.
loma45
Nah - it wouldn't have been that bad. Basically could have fresh started every season, like they did in the books.
mardukkur
They reversed who the envoys were and got Quellism ass-backward so the events of Woken Furies could never make any sense whatsoever.
mardukkur
The consequences for season one weren't too bad since it's just fucking up the backstory a little, and they could have done book 2 somewhat-
Starfury42
I'm still mad at Fox for cancelling Alien Nation. Yes I'm old.
JarJarBinksKisser
vanderzee
oof, wish they at least made a movie to give some sort of closure to the series
2graves
Well... There is one
TreeSparrowDY
My favourite Netflix series! And they won’t be continuing it. Fuck that
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
I looooooved this series. One of the best offerings on Netflix.
wilkins1952
Just found out about Inside job, Fuck cause that was a good show that scratched my love of consipiracy theories.
CaptKirkCameronDiaz
Yeah, Netflix sucks
SuperfluousMeh
What's happened? Judging by your comment, it was canceled wasn't it ?
Tak231
... Well i just now found out about it... Dammit I loved that show...
Drimilidrimdrim
Aye, would add Marco Polo, Final Space and the mentioned Altered Carbon.
Zoroasterisk
Marco Polo was great, but it cost entirely too much and not enough people watched it. AC strayed too far from the source material, pissing >
Zoroasterisk
Off the established fanbase without bringing enough unique good stuff to justify it, much like The Witcher
TrueShoba
Final space was not Netflix's fault. That was Warner. Worse is that it's not only being canceled. It's being erased due Tax reasons.
Drimilidrimdrim
Oh? I had no idea about that. Still a shame!
bngd
Marco Polo hurt
AlmightyThor117
Yeah, that new blood origin series was pretty terrible
DoomSquirter
it wasn't super terrible but it was also only like what, 3 episodes? that's a movie guys, not a tv series.
derek7711
I'm really not happy about how they did that. Such a great concept and was shit allover.
Mycologics
I liked it actually... but I am incredibly dumb and good at forgetting any other renditions or any drama around them or who made it etc.
NoSirIDoNotHaveBoloneyInMyPants
Yeah I’m not going to waste my life by watching that. Saw it while browsing Netflix, paused for a second and thought nah, bound to be shit.
Asadsadsadclown
I fucking loved Bright, people hated it
YeahChillBeggingIt
Bright 2 was in the works until the slappening... also enjoy bright and the soundtrack.
skeletalbong
Bright is a proper hidden gem
KiwiGameDev
It felt like hella generic urban fantasy, like someone heard about Shadowrun and decided to make the most watered down version possible
ArkoneAxon
It was okay, but it had so much potential to be better.
GorillaPowers
It was very generic. Like a CW TV movie
neospor1n
My wife loved it…I question her taste sometimes. I didn’t hate it, just felt meh results for a cool urban fantasy
IAmNotNSAsodonotbeparanoid
I loved Bright
Zoroasterisk
I wanted to love bright. Big ol' fanboy of urban fantasy. It needed more elegant worldbuilding. It was too reliant on exposition dumps. 1/2
Salvroth
The problem is that around the turn of the millennia people were turning off media that wasn't completely spelled out for them. Sigh.
Zoroasterisk
Maybe if it was a miniseries instead of a movie, with a headliner other than Will Smith that stuck around longer, it would've worked better
strugglesnuggler
It's great. As long as you spend exactly 0% time thinking about the worldbuilding and just accept modern society demographic = races now.
alwayslovedafilm
I just treated it as being in the Shadowrun universe to start and went from there. Honestly I loved it.
Zoroasterisk
The writers needed to be introduced to the concept of racial essentialism and why it's bad
Asadsadsadclown
The world building was laid out pretty well in the intro. The entire history and social dynamic is spelled out by the graffiti
strugglesnuggler
The lore was spelled out. It does not = good world building. There was little thought going into how those cultures would actually develop.
strugglesnuggler
2/2 it was the equivalent of the twelve year old DM going, these guys are evil because they're evil, these guys are good cause theyre good.
Asadsadsadclown
Just because it is generic doesn't mean it's bad. It is a cut and dry generic fantasy setting +2000 years of modern history. The "dark lord"

And now the Simpsons has devolved so much it's a clone of Family Guy, which was a clone of it. Clones within clones.

There’s a great Jacob geller video about this

Nah, I can still watch the newer episodes of the Simpsons. I haven't watched Family Guy since the episode they kill Quagmire's BIL.

You can, many cannot, especially if it's a Lisa episode

I'm exactly the opposite. If I'm drunk and desperate sometimes FG's potty humor can at least get a chuckle. Simpsons just straight blows now

No animated porky pig clone?
ArkoneAxon
No, this is from the 90s, when everything was X-Treme!!! So no comedy, just everyone being edgy emo edgelords.
msd3k
I remember everyone HATED the Clone Saga, when I was in highschool. It kinda ruined Spiderman for me for the rest of my life.
UserNamesArentEasy
Edgelords were 2000s, for the 90s think coke fuel extreme adrenaline junky.
ATDWorks
I think Simpson was a cartoonized married with children, but I get your point.
PutItInNeutral
Simpsons predates Married With Children by quite a bit. They first showed up as Tracy Ulman Show shorts back in '86.
JacktheKind
No. Homer loves Marge. He isn't cynical or pessimistic. Lisa isn't portrayed to chase after a conventional hot girl image
Vergenbuurg
The Simpsons made their first appearance only 14 days after MWC premiered. That would've been an amazing feat to copy MWC that quickly.
PutItInNeutral
Animated shorts on the Tracy Ulman show were as far back as '86.
TheSwedishCryptid
Simpson is a parody of a nuclear family, and Homer job is literally a nuclear (power plant) safety manager.
mercyPandaRunner
And a parody of the (now) Simpsons-style Family Cartoons, like the Flintstones, Jettsons and whatnot. Only it became the new bedrock.
Humputse
+1 for the pun
