Just queued it up and checked the playlist. Should I be suspcious if I got the exact same play order as the above?
I’m still bitter about santa clarita diet. probably always will be.
I’m not. The only series I’m bitter about is Firefly.
There are so many good things to watch on streaming that I can’t complain too much about any series being cancelled. Besides Firefly.

I mean there are a ton of good books to read but I still get annoyed at authors like GRRM and Rothfuss leaving their stories unfinished. I don’t see why TV shows would be any different. It sucks to get interested and engaged with a story and never having it completed.

There’s also the issue of how shows are structured. For example, in the episodic era, there wasn’t necessarily any kind of feeling of unfinished-ness with a cancellation. That changed with the serialized era, but there are different ways to serialize. For example, a show doesn’t rely too much on teasing and promises of future reveals doesn’t leave the same bad taste with an early cancellation. Also, shows that provide mini-arcs or season arcs.
Netflix has suffered from a combination of two things: 1) so many early cancellations and 2)of shows that were either “one long saga distributed as seasons” or that relied too much on building up suspense for future future reveals, leaving fans unhappy with a cancellation.
It doesn’t have to be that way, even with early cancellations.

I am also bitter about this, probably more than any other Netflix cancellation.
Firefly was cancelled by Fox in 2003 before streaming was a thing. Netflix didn’t offer video on demand until 2007 and didn’t produce original content until 2013.

Also it’s always possible that those two will actually finish a book.
A cancelled Netflix show is never getting finished.
It’s showing me Green, Yellow, Violet, Orange, Blue, Red, Pink, White.
Might not be totally random. Could be that Red and Pink are always at the end.
Copenhagen Cowboy is out. Aka, Nicholas Winding Refn does a Netflix series. Anyone dive in yet?
Oh nice! I’ve only seen his movie Drive, but I loved that, so I’m definitely interested based on that.
Wait, Netflix got Michelle Yeoh for a Witcher show?
Yes. Witcher: Blood Origins. It’s kind of bad.
Curious if you ended up finishing this?

I dunno. Witcher: Blood Origin wasn’t great, certainly, but I enjoyed it. It’s basically Seven Samurai, as Jaskier sort of hilariously points out (“This story has been done a thousand times”, he says, or something similar).
I mean, it was better than Rings of Power or Wheel of Time, anyway. And only four episodes, so not as big of an investment!

Not yet. Got distracted by The Rig on Amazon and real life. I will probably finish it soonish.
Strong recommendation for Italian entry The Lying Lives of Adults, based on an Elena Ferrante novel. It’s a six-episode limited series about Giovanna, a teenager in 1980’s Napoli, who begins to uncover all the lies she has been told by her parents and the other adults in her life. You may be familiar with Ferrante’s fascination with the plight of girls and young women in Italian culture from the more well-known My Brilliant Friend, which has (thus far) run two seasons on HBO. This one is equally worth watching
I just found out that Netflix Gem, Inside Job has been cancelled.
A wonderful little show with a solid premise. Kind of lame that it got cancelled.
Canceled as in no season 4 or no season 3?
No Season 2 it looks like.
Apparently the first season aired in two parts.
