Still at least we've got The Witcher to look forward t... oh. Oh yeah.
Just about to start watching this but its been cancelled already. Ha, guess I won't bother.
It is often baffling but the hours watched dont always tell the full story. I wish Netflix was more open about why they cancel shows so abruptly.Don't think this needs a season 2 myself.
But if there was I'm surprised they cancelled it.
What do Netflix use to cancel shows? It does seem prolific. Not many other streaming options that work for me unfortunately.
My biggest disappointment was archive 81 started watching not knowing it was cancelled. Netflix should have a flag on the image if a show was cancelled to stop wasting people's time.

Read a discussion on reddit about completion rates, i.e how many started it and only watched x episodes. This may be why some shows dont make it despite seeming quite popular on release.
This sounds like the likely reason for this show being cancelled.
I suspect we are gonna get more things billed as "Limited Series" which basically means one season. Kaleidoscope iss a good recent example.Netflix does seem to be getting more and more gung ho. We're seeing multiple shows being cancelled when they haven't even been out a few months. It is very frustrating and will lead to people not wanting to take a risk on new shows....which will just see more shows cancelled. Also why would creators make any show that would need more than one season? The likeliness is it is never going to see that second season.
I have no issues with 1 season shows, provided the story is intended to be told in a single season.
Stranger Things is a cash grab, gets written each season,. with the exception of the last and next. Dark's story was already written for the 3 seasons before s1 went into production.I do wonder if the 'early' successes like Stranger Things and Dark were launched in their current state of mind whether they'd even reach their endings.
My plan is to cancel this year anyway, literally just waiting for cobra Kai S5 and stranger things S5. After that back to the high seas for Netflix content and will keep my Prime and D+ only.
