Netflix has a terrible model, where they cancel series that aren't immediate, overwhelming hits. It would be nice if they gave shows a chance to find an audience. There've been so many times I've been browsing and found what looked like a cool show, only to look it up and find out that it wasn't renewed. Then I don't bother checking it out, because I don't want to be disappointed when it ends abruptly.
Yeah, I wouldn't say this is a 100% thing, but it's often enough that you can generalize as their modus operandi. (For example, they finished all three seasons of Dark, which was a German subtitled scifi drama -- I was surprised. And another shocker that Bojack Horseman actually ended on its own terms.)
I remember when Netflix was actually a mark of quality in the beginning, and now you are taking your chances, and who knows whether your show will make it to the end of its run regardless of quality. Meanwhile, crap stays on. You can't watch all their "documentary" style stuff either because it's not trustworthy in terms of factuality, yet they have an oversized influence.
I'm also still salty about how netflix did MST3K dirty. Like you know it's more of a cult thing with a niche audience, you can't expect every series to get Stranger Things level numbers of viewers.
I don't even like Stranger Things a ton, it's okay but isn't nearly as great as its popularity. The only season I was like, "Man, they upped their game" and actually cried once or twice watching was Season 4; the rest of it was really uneven and kinda "eh." It feels like a scifi/fantasy/horror show written for people who aren't into scifi/fantasy/horror, kind of like The Big Bang Theory being a "geek" comedy for non-geeks.
However, Squid Game was worth the watch, and Alice in Borderland, and some others. You just never know when something they tout might be the real deal.
I really don't like the state of streaming much nowadays. I mean, it was all very predictable, but it's just sad.
