They'll need funding for Big Mouth from somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Big Mouth already aired the series finale, so... nope.

The show is "The Residence" :)

It’s nothing special. It likes to waste a lot of time recapping itself, and has 4 jokes that it will cycle through repeatedly, one of which is just that Hugh Jackman was in attendance during the murder, but the show didn’t actually get Jackman so it’s just a guy.

You aren’t really able to solve the murder because they fail to properly foreshadow the “clue” who the murderer is.

Too much tell instead of show

Yea I think so. Season 1 is a nice complete story, so there's no cliffhanger or other BS

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

No idea, I haven't seen it, I just checked the article as I was curious what show it was!

I'll never forgive Netflix for canceling Sens8 it was such a novel concept that could have gone on for at least 2 more seasons, yeah the orgies were awkward and I don't quite remember the point of them but other than that it was a great show

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It was such a cool concept. The ending felt really forced, you could tell they had a bunch more story planned.

It was also cool they always filmed on location, it was nice to watch. Some shows will be set somewhere, but the background is so obviously southern California it just takes you out of the plot. I'm sure it was expensive AF, but it showed in the quality of it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

The orgies were awesome, but besides that I agree. I lived for this series.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Honestly, just cancel Netflix.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's exactly what I've done

My wife wants to finish sandman then we’re kicking it to the curb.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What infuriates me even more is when they keep the cancelled shows in the library with no warning.

So 5 years from now someone goes "oh yeah this looks good" and then loves it and subsequently finds out it was cancelled 4 years ago after wondering why the hell it's taking so long for seasons 2 to come out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

i think netflix also makes these studio sign some kind of non-compete so they cant go to another stream or network to continue said series.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Time to use CBC gem 🔴, NFB and the available provincial broadcaster options instead!

My rule for a long time has been to not start any Netflix series until after it's completely done, i feel significantly less disappointed this way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I've been following this rule for about a good decade now. It doesn't apply only to Netflix series.

The are many series to watch; no point in starting to watch one without any guarantee that the series will keep consistent good ratings until the finale.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

This is a very reasonable rule, but unfortunately I think it also impacts the metrics they use to make these decisions.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

You can reuse this headline every year

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Why do they exclusively only cancel good shows (Mindhunter, Inside Job, now this) and keep up actual garbage?? I don't think Netflix has made a wise business decision ever, the only reason they're successful is because they were the first. They're lucky Blockbuster didn't buy them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I've read that they cancel most shows after two seasons because season 3 is usually when the cast renegotiates their salary and they're too cheap to pay them what their worth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe garbage shows are cheaper to produce, or get better viewers-per-dollar-spent measurements?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mindhunter wasn't canceled initially, David Fincher put it on hiatus himself

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I personally think they should have given him a blank check to get him back, everyone has a price

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't sound like that was the issue, Fincher didn't want to work on TV anymore. Also why it appears Mindhunter is returning as films instead of another season.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

I know but everyone has a price. Are the mindhunter films definitely happening?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Tbh they do also cancel low-rated shows too. You just don't care when they do.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow, I didn't even know Kaos was canceled. That show had amazing cast and unique setting. Wtf.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It wasn't my cup of tea but it was a well made and interesting show, I'm surprised they cancelled it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I wasn’t surprised. Trans-masc romance is not going to appease the political leadership of the country. Why take the risk of a twitter/truth-social tirade?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cast alone should have kept the show running. Jeff Goldblum as Zeus? Perfection lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Jeff Goldblum can only be a good thing

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It seemed like a miniseries to me. Who's expecting a second season when the mystery in the titular residence is solved at the end of the first?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah that's what I thought as well. I guess I wouldn't have minded seeing them do another mystery with one more season, but the concept has potential to get tired pretty quick

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Welcome to the club… we have shirts.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How could they cancel a show with Jeff Goldblum hamming it up as Zeus??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

He was born to play that role.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

The list is so long…

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Haven't heard about the show but I honestly can't stand shows about "The White House" anymore. Just ignoring the current fascist politics is unforgivable, so is showing the previous US regime as "the good old days", but even any attempt to address it but still make it entertaining is distasteful too. It's just propaganda one way or another.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Oh is it that time of the week again?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

The ending was so bad that it made me regret watching it, anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Time to watch your local broadcaster and library movies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I wonder if they're going to start cancelling shows after the first half of the season.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

they will do it if gives them certain number of new subscribers, rinse and repeat. only super popular ones get at least 4 seasons, like castlevania.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why not go back to cable TV methods and cancel it after the pilot?
