    interesting that DD is "Born Again" given how much of S1 lifted from the original.

    There’s a ton of shit coming for phase 5. Disney’s smart to do it this way because it guarantees permanent subscriptions for D +. Paramount is catching up though. Netflix will have to figure out something.

    Yeah. Figure out if they want to be pimped out by Disney, or by Amazon.

    Or stop canceling the good shows they have had, take a gamble on a few talents and come up with enough original content to keep subscribers.

    Are you suggesting Netflix cancelled "good" shows regardless of whether or not they make money?

    They’ve been canceling popular shows after one or two seasons because they weren’t driving subscriptions. Cowboy Beebob is one example. They expected it to take off big time and it was starting to, but got canceled. Some people were waiting to see reactions from YT and the like before checking it out, but once it got canceled l a lot people just didn’t bother with it. They’ve done this with a few other shows in recent years. This is why there’s only a handful of shows that make it past three seasons.

    Do you have a link to a website or is this just an assumption on your part?

    Do you have a source for this?

    That's their loss then. and Netflix most likely would be monitoring that if it were something that is driving who watches what. I mean, that, literally, is their business.

    Or, maybe because other live stream platforms are emerging and taking a very large portion of the audience.

    I don’t have links for any of this, these are just things I’ve heard John Campea and others say. Campea is the most reliable source. If I find links, I’ll post them.

    FF is an inane twit to be sure, but there's certainly a pattern of cancelling all but their most successful shows after two or three seasons while they continue to greenlight shitty teen romcoms and trash like 13 Reasons Why got multiple seasons and Orange is the New Black ran well past it's expiration date to the point that the lead had become a secondary character in her own show.

    Despite the conservative handwriting, shows with gay casts or geared towards a queer audience are usually the ones that get the axe first.

    See, this is an example of what can be wrong with letting the quarterly earnings results drive your business. It can take time for a show to find its footing, or even if it comes out of the gate great, it might be a while before it finds its audience. But since Netflix is a tech company, they're expected to have exponential profit growth all the time. So, that means they've got to slash things that don't immediately bring in the numbers. This is somewhat ironic since Netflix has made good money picking up shows that were canceled by the networks.
    Not nearly as bad as what broadcast/cable companies often do. One Australian network actually canceled a show in the middle of the first episode, while it was on-air. I don't just mean that they said, "That's it, no more episodes." I mean, they yanked the show while it was being broadcast and apologized to the audience for airing it. And we only got three seasons of TOS because Jerry Lewis was a dick.

    Is it possible that people, not you or FF, are actually watching those shows? Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean no on is. If Netflix is keeping them and removing others, guess what, that's what their data shows people are watching.

    I mean, sure, hate watching also counts for views too and bad publicity is still bringing eyes to a show. :shrug:

    Still smacks of Fox gutting every genre show they had in the 2000s while screwing them over at every opportunity . History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme.

    I liked Shang-Chi. As for CGI …. it’s the same shit …, no, it’s better than the shit from back in the 60s. I recently watched some … especially talented mash-up of Revenge of the Sith and both animated Clone Wars. Most of the CGI scenes my imagination was barely necessary. I honestly forgot most of those scenes were not live action.
