It’s not just Netflix, but it’s a bit much to ask for people to get invested in a show that has 6-8 episodes a season then dips out for two years before the next one. Who’s going to remember it by then?

Been saying it forever:

They need multi season commitments.

Look at From, it’s putting out steady quality seasons because they knew from the start it would get 5 seasons to tell the story.

They won’t stretch it, they won’t cut it if ratings lag.

“Small” streamers like MGM+ still need those big marquees shows to keep subscribers. They’re willing to keep making the show all the way thru sona decade from now they’re still the only streamer who has it.

Netflix has “enough” of those shows to keep subscribers, so if anything isn’t a home run, it gets cancelled. And because they want to know “quick” they only give season 1 a week or two before cancelling. When if they’d give most of them ~3 seasons and filmed season 2 right after 1, a good amount would have been huge franchises by now.

It’s the focus on long term growth when “small” and only quarterly profits once large.

I’d have loved a second series of Kaos and The Boroughs. Instead we get more utter shit.
