I'm beginning to dislike Netflix (re: Archive 81, 1899, Warrior Nun etc cancellations)

[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8900422, member: 59082"] For this reason, mainly: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/01/16/netflix-has-created-a-self-fulfilling-cancelation-loop-with-its-new-shows/?sh=260d528e78c3[/URL] For me it started with the cancellation of [I]Archive 81[/I], a show I really liked but they cancelled after a single season. Thankfully it was relatively self-contained. But then it happened with [I]1899[/I] from the creators of [I]Dark[/I], a series I adored. I hadn't watched [I]1899[/I] yet because, like the most recent season of [I]Entrapped[/I], I was saving it up, enjoying having something I know I'll like in the queue. But evidently [I]1899[/I] ended on a cliffhanger, so now I'm not even going to bother. And now it is [I]Warrior Nun[/I], a show I only watched half an episode of and decided wasn't my cuppa, but is causing a Twitter furor. So while I'm not disappointed in its cancellation, I commiserate with fans who are. So basically we're left with the phenomena of Netflix only renewing series that are not only popular, but popular very quickly. A high concept series like [I]1899[/I] needs time to build an audience - it will never be an instant hit. I'm a good example of this: I didn't watch [I]Dark [/I]until last year (2022), and then consumed all three seasons in the course of a couple months. I am reminded of what happened to mid-list authors in the publishing world. Basically big publishers will only give offers to bestsellers (or close to bestsellers) and new authors, and then for new authors the clock is ticking, with about a three book window to see if they can establish a sizable audience. Mid-listers either have to find smaller publishers or self-publish. The end result is a dumbing down and homogenization. There's still some range of diversity, of course, but not nearly as much as there could be, if profit margins were a bit more lenient (meaning, shows like [I]1899[/I] probably still generate profit, just not as much as Netflix requires to continue). Anyhow, mostly venting... [/QUOTE]
