The streamer has broken its promise to be better than what came before. Allowing these shows some way to finish their stories would be a win for everyone, including Netflix.
Speaking of HBO, we did finally get a conclusion (if a bit underwhelming) to Deadwood. But I still feel irritated about how John from Cincinnati and Carnivale were dropped without an ending.
The main downside of these cancelations is the perspective of not bothing to invest into watching a new series, especially when considered the flood of options now, until it is concluded and then bingeing it. But of course, enough people doing that means initial viewership numbers are lower, so more likelyhood of the series being cancelled. Will we see a trend (or is there already one?) towards shorter, as in single season, series?
The Dark Crystal series is another pretty tragic example, how can you blind to all its beauty (in any 10 minute stretch really) in the face of a bunch of cold numbers?
