Probs mindhunter. Midnight club was decent, crazy how netflix treat one of their best creator (mike flanagan) so other people whisked him off.

I haven't watched 1899 but i loved dark, and lost interest of 1899 when they announce they are gonna cancel it

Sense8 deserved a full, final season instead of what it got.

That's the biggest named cancelation off the top of my head.

Teenage Bounty Hunters

also, for Midnight Club, I had a soft spot for it since I enjoyed the book, as a kid.

Sense8 is one I kind of don't blame them for cancelling. When your storyline involves eight different main characters in eight different places all across the planet, all with their own supporting cast, and you shoot on location? Shit gets expensive.

julie and the phantoms
it ended on a cliffhanger and then its fate was left up in the air for an entire year before it officially got cancelled.

it was the story of a band in the 90s who were just about to get their big break. then all got food poisoning and died the night before. then they wake up like 30 years later as ghosts and only a girl named julie can see them. and when they play music with her other people can see them to so they decide to form a new band with julie

it was impressive since every actor actually played the instruments in the show. no faking was done

Sense8 and Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Those broke my heart.

At least Sense8 got a wrap up though which should really be the standard for streaming services but they're actually starting to now remove cancelled shows entirely but I digress.

Santa Clarita Diet's cancellation sucked too.

Was that the one where they're hiding in the school and they start doing Romeo and Juliet for the 1 guy with three braincells who hadn't figured it out yet? Yes, that I want more of that, it was a perfect so bad it's good.

And Dark Crystal. At this stage I'd settle for animation, a comic, a novel, something to finish out the story.

It was very expensive and took a really long time to finish making, and apparently not enough people watched it to justify a second season.

I really hate the idea that a show needs to go gangbusters in season 1 instead of the opportunity to stretch it's legs.

There are a lot of absolute classic shows that had shit 1st seasons. (Not sure about ratings wise.)
Seinfeld and TNG immediately come to mind.

bojack too. would have been a shame if it was released on 2020+ with current netflix mentality

first season was rough but every seasons afterwards was amazing and one of my favorite show ever

Part of the issue is that we have very little data on how a show did or even what Netflix's metrics for success are. Without that it's hard to determine why something got canceled.

But at the same time it's extremely rare to find shows that got more popular over time. It's possible, but it typically involves some level of cultural phenomenon to it. I'd guess that at Dark Crystal's price they determined that even with an uncommon popularity upswing, it still wouldn't get the success metrics they were looking for. And they also made the, likely correct, assumption that fantasy puppet show was too niche to blow up into a cultural phenomenon.

I think part of Netflix's early cancelation rate comes from how big the initial swings are. Like the budgets they give shows are frequently so big that it feels like they have to do just gangbusters to succeed. And that isn't always realistic for niche titles.

Like One Piece is almost certainly dead on arrival. That's not and indictment of its quality, but it's rumored $18 million per episode budget is a crazy albatross for a live-action adaptation of an anime to have around its neck.

Oh and Glow might be my most sad. Though it's canceling was likely more COVID related than pure performance.

When Netflix renewed Bojack for season 6, they told the creator it would be the last season and to wrap things up. He originally planned to go 7 or 8 seasons. That's close enough to a cancellation imo.

Sense8. I get why they cancelled it, but it still hurt.

The OA was cancelled just as it was getting good, IMO. I loved how it started to go meta, and looked like it just needed one more season to wrap things up.

Yeah I agree. The first season was really slow, whereas the second season really picked up the pace and then it was over.

It very well could have been, but you've got a tall task asking viewers to watch two bad and confusing seasons of television before it "just starts to get good."
