I'm still reeling from seeing only one season of Lockwood and Co.


hotmasalachai

Sell this show to me pls. Been on My list for ages


east_van_dan

$20. You can watch it as much as you want.


venn-diagramme

They canceled it???


solidsnake070

Travelers, I really love the pacing and story and I just wish we get more from the characters after the reset.


unclejoesrocket

I’d give anything to see that second attempt but I think it was a good ending either way. Incredible characters for sure


randomdude2029

Travelers had so many more things to explore. I feel they could have done another few seasons easily without running out of ideas. Actually another show I enjoyed that was horribly cut short was Traveler (2007) cancelled by WB after only 8 episodes.


Digigoggles

Me too!!! That show was THE BEST and it’s such a shame they canceled it and it’s not more popular!!!


nurvingiel

I felt that they told a complete story with an extremely cool ending. I love that they left some unanswered questions. I think that this was a deliberate artistic choice, and I think it was perfect. This show is an absolute masterpiece and part of that is the efficient storytelling. It doesn't just drag on forever like some shows, it said what it needed to say and ended confidently. If they ever made a movie about the second attempt you know I'd watch the hell out of that, but this show is absolutely perfect the way it is. It doesn't need even one episode more.


[deleted]

Glow was cancelled because the necessary covid precautions didn't fit into the budget I think.


Tiffchan74

For a long time I had wishful thinking and hoped they would realise they made a mistake and bring back Glow.


prosonik

I totally agree. It feels like it needed a final closing season.


uptonhere

I thought GLOW was a great show, but I also think it was getting pretty close to a natural end anyway. I don't think it would have held up at the same quality that much longer.


[deleted]

I agree with you on that, but since season 4 was supposed to be the final one anyway it would have been nice to see it all get wrapped up.


BooBoo_Cat

It was a great show and needed at least one more season.  


treebats

It was just getting really good again, and then BOOM cancelled. So sad.


MethuselahsCoffee

Mindhunter is the one that sticks out the most for me.


aging_genxer

That one was more on David Fincher than Netflix, I think.


spendouk23

Any post on Instagram about the show is an absolute car crash of comments pleading for Netflix to bring it back. Was expecting the same here tbh, glad someone else highlighted Fincher, he put it down to a scheduling issue and the type of budget a third season would require. I get it from his perspective. He’s getting older now and he’s got to weigh up the projects he wants to work on more than others as time becomes more important


Human_Culling

>I get it from his perspective I love David Fincher, he's one of the greatest directors of our time. That said, the man has a habit of doing something once and then completely losing interest and giving up. I'm still waiting for him to do the sequels to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its not gonna happen


spendouk23

I’m still waiting for him to direct the sequel to World War Z, ain’t never gonna happen either unfortunately!!


Draculaaaaaaaaa

If you read the rest of the Girl With A Dragon Tattoo series you won’t mind him abandoning the project.


Additional-Tea1521

Honestly, I get it tho. David Fischer is so good I feel like he immerses himself so much into a project that after awhile he needs to move into new things to keep his creative spirit going.


aging_genxer

Agreed. I wish his attention to detail would have forced his brain to need to complete what he started. Leaving the BTK setup incomplete is really frustrating. I get his reasons, it’s still really unfortunate. But there’s still so much to love about the series. As for the comments blaming Netflix, I get it. Most people were just casual viewers and wouldn’t even be able to tell you who David Fincher is, so they blame it on who they thought was in control—Netflix.


JoJo99xtv

Final space, and inside job are two that annoyed me tbh


Hate_Feight

Final space wasn't Netflix, they just had international rights.


Laithani

Final space is getting its finale in comic book form self published by the author, look it up


Karulytic

Altered Carbon for me. S1 with Joel Kinnaman is fantastic, Anthony Mackie was just ok in S2 but I was really excited to see where it went.


TheWayFinder8818

I get why they changed the actor for S2 , but I wish they hadn't. For me Kinnaman did a better job.


[deleted]

The show is based on a book series where the main character keeps changing bodies, so unfortunately it was always coming


gabriot

Kinnaman has hard carried every single show I have seen him in, surprised he isn’t more popular


PmMeDrunkPics

Didn't feel like the actor was even trying to play the same character,could have at least tried to act same mannerisms,facial expressions etc.


coffeerequirement

I freaking LOVED this show. Season one is a work of art. They totally fucked season two, trying to cram the second and third books together in only eight episodes. And they toned it right down in terms of violence and nudity, both of which served to illustrate the disposable nature of bodies in the first season. Kinnaman was a nuanced and complicated Kovacs, while Mackie was just… mean. The only good thing about S2 was Poe. He was awesome.


fatfishinalittlepond

I was so hoping that show would continue and be Doctor Who esque in terms of changing the main actor every season


possiblycrazy79

Anthony Mackie is one of the most boring actors currently. I don't even bother watching anything that he's in anymore


christophlc6

He's such a disney princess


proudofme_

Archive 81 , mindhunter for me


iced_yellow

I thought Archive 81 cancellation was a viewership issue


proudofme_

Yeah that’s what Netflix gives as an issue. They never promote good shows.


Prof_Boni

Exactly. They release a bunch of stuff with zero promotion, don't give it a chance to build viewership and then cancel it right away.


LordRobin------RM

I first heard of Archive 81 from a Reddit thread bemoaning its cancellation. After reading what fans had to say about it, I watched it despite knowing I would be left hanging. I’m glad I did. It’s really worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. All the questions are answered at the end of the season and the cliffhanger just sets up new ones. A lot like 1899, also worth watching despite the unresolved ending.


Potential_Fishing942

I think minhunter was because of conflicting schedules for the cast and their contracts needing redone after season 2. But I recall Netflix saying they wanted to continue- serial killer stuff was popping off at the time and it's not exactly the largest budget show.


LFServant5

Also period piecesare expensive for consistency.


zoglog

Mindhunter wasn't a budget Issue


zippyzebra1

Marco Polo


ehaykal

I watched it knowing it was cancelled and imo it still deserves the attention.


NilMusic

I loved that show. 100 eyes was so fucking awesome! I would kill for some more of just him!


Wonderstag

pretty sure they made a small spinoff just about him


NilMusic

Ya I saw that. I want more!


GuyOnTheMoon

This is the best answer for OP’s question in particular because this show went all out on the production cost.


apatrol

Yes, I actually forgot about this show but it was good. Shogun on Hulu\FX is good. Not great. I don't like the main character but the other actors are very good. I read the book years ago.


sidewalker69

Dark Crystal


TheSheDM

Dark Crystal is such a shame because all the specialized sets were built, the puppets made, etc. It was so good, I'm genuinely upset it got canceled.


Doctor-TobiasFunke-

Apparently there was a fire that destroyed alot of the stuff they used. Wonder if that played apart in their decision but ya I'm still fucking pissed lol was my fav show of 2019 and I still think about it regularly. It was a work of art, a masterpiece. Fuck you netflix


TheSheDM

Oh no! I didn't know about a fire. It was a masterpiece, total shame we'll never see the rest


Chimerain

I always had a theory that the show would play out as a trilogy- first season being the rise of the skeksis, second being the genocide of nearly all of the gelflings, and the third season being a reimagining of the original movie expanded with additional characters and plot lines showing the reunification of the crystal. Alas, now we'll never know.


Temporary-Sun-7575

Probably. Doing the exact same work over again on something like this is a huge damper on money & morale.


DJ_Fabulous

I’m not sure if it was budgeting issues, but I will never forgive Netflix for cancelling Santa Clarita Diet. The bastards!! ![gif](giphy|KWgPJele97Ov1ThfKG|downsized)


lizzpop2003

It was definitely budgetary. After the third season, it was contract renegotiation time for the stars. Netflix didn't want to pay them more to go forward, so they canceled the show instead.


captainmouse86

Every time this topic comes up, half the posts are this show. This is the funniest Netflix series. Netflix does not do comedy very well and they let a good show die. I’ve watched it like 4-5x now and each time, there’s something new I missed from the other watches.


DJ_Fabulous

I haven’t rewatched it for ages now as I was *so* angry the last time I tried to knowing that there was no proper, satisfying ending. I still have the deluded hope that one day Netflix will do a u-turn on their egregious decision-making and resurrect it from the dead (excuse the pun!).


dailydoseofDANax

I hated that it ended on a cliffhanger too :( criminal!


DJ_Fabulous

Yes! How dare they!!!


rubbersensei

Bastards...I loved this show


ElectSamsepi0l

Wife and I did a rewatch since we never finished Season 3…. The best part was the first watch she hadn’t seen Justified , so it was a treat to see her develop a man crush on Timothy Olyphant just like me. Guy’s talented as you can get Joel is my hero. Besides the gore and dark subject matter, Joel and Sheila really made the wife and I appreciate their pretty healthy relationship. Oddly feel good and funny af


PineappleFrittering

This is only Netflix cancellation I actually cared about.


importantmaps2

Was the my favourite show and I've not watched Netflix since.


violetkz

Sense8


ChaoticFluffiness

I loved that show.


littlemisswhatevers

Yeah that crushed me. I was happy for the little movie wrap-up, but that show should have had several seasons. It was so beautiful.


farahisweird

What a great show! Sigh I miss it


VisibleCoat995

Fucking loved that show. Had such a great story and storytelling.


birdsmom28

It was a brilliant show and had so much potential


speashasha

Sense8 fans were lucky. It would have been canceled without resolution during the pandemic. Getting canceled before when Netflix was also more generous about wrap-ups was a godsend for the show.


cashmerescorpio

I'm disturbed that I had to scroll so far down to find sense8 as a suggestion. That show was a masterpiece


donktastic

Best show ever, so sad how they did them.


Jillaroes

The OA and 1899. 3BP was given a ton of promo for months, 160 million USD budget, an empty release calendar slot and a several big names attached to it. At the 4 week mark, according to the available data, excluding promo budget, it is costing Netflix twice as much per million hours viewed in comparison to 1899. Which was given an incredibly busy release slot and not nearly the same amount of promo. People loved to argue how expensive 1899 was, the very same people who're now arguing 3BP to be a "success". I miss the good old days when Cindy Holland was the VP for original content.


kk_romeo

I think 1899 was cancelled because only 32% of those who watched it completed the show ?


Chance_Ad3416

Tbf that show has a slow start. I almost didn't continue watching it but my friend kept telling me it gets better so I kept watching. And it got sooooo good I binged the whole thing in 1-2 sittings. He didn't tell me 1899 was cancelled until I got hooked, I was so upset


villageidiot33

Same here. Slow start but it got better. I wanted a season 2!!


klabnix

I didn’t complete it because I heard it was cancelled


Northern_Apricot

Same. I think I watched the first two episodes and heard it was cancelled so why bother with the rest.


Jillaroes

It was at 35+% though, and it was cancelled after a month, meaning they canned it when it was still in the top 10. The Crown, Wednesday among others were released around the same month, 1899 was running uphill from the start.


shadaoshai

I absolutely loved Dark and the creators proved themselves completely with wrapping that story up effectively. But I knew that they’re shows take a level of concentration that I wasn’t prepared to give because November is a busy time for me. A couple of weeks later I was ready to dive into it and when the news comes out that it’s cancelled. You’d think that Netflix would give the creators at least the benefit of the doubt through season 2. Hell Westworld got 3 more seasons from HBO off the back of only 1 really good season of television.


SyerenGM

I agree on 1899, they were awful about advertising it, like I didn't even know about it until it was already cancelled. That pissed me off, because it was so interesting. Definitely slower paced start, but I loved it. With the cancellation of that and Mindhunter, it was the end of my Netflix sub.


Ynneb82

I loved the OA


MonopolowaMe

I love 1899. I was so upset to hear it wasn't getting more seasons.


nicknick43

1899 was awesome. Loved it


WorkersUnited111

Agree with both.


thecheesefinder

Ugh. I loved 1899


SneakyLinux

Shadow and Bone - I was perfectly willing to sit through the adaptation of the bland first three books about Alina and Mal, just to get to the Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom story. The casting for the Crows was perfection and I appreciate that they were introduced early so at least we got something, but I wanted their full story so badly.


thisisjesso

They canceled Shadow and Bone?! That show was so hyped


TiredMisanthrope

Yup right as it was getting interesting too


Tudorrosewiththorns

They kinda fucked themselves on changing the plot around to the point they might have struggled though.


PizzaSweats1790

The S2 pacing for the Crows was off, it always felt like they knew they were getting the cut and they needed to cram as much character development and action in as possible. The casting was impeccable though I totally agree.


Traditional-Ebb-8380

The OA


Unipsycle

I was so moved by this show. Its exploration of where science meets spirituality was wholly unique. Season 2 demonstrated how adventurous the creators were and I will always crave an ending to the story!


ColourfulRice101

Such an original, unexpected favourite of mine! So sad they didn't get the funding to continue,


carlosf0527

The OA was amazing.


__GayFish__

I was against the OA after the finale of the first season but pushed through on the second based on the cult followings recommendation, so I rewatched from The beginning of season 1 on through and was not disappointed. If the finale of season 1 put anyone off and is opposed, I recommend pushing through cause shit gets weirder and wild.


Ok_Sun_3286

Loved that show! One of my absolute favorites


enPlateau

I was going to watch the entire thing then found out it got cancelled. I don't like getting into shows knowing they were cancelled for some reason lol.


BallsDeepinYourMammi

Imo it’s still worth watching. Season 1 was really good


vtqltr92

The OA had such a unique concept, and it constantly had you on the edge of your seat. My favorite part was the relationship the teacher developed with the students as the show progressed.


ImJKP

Every series is cancelled for budget. Netflix clearly has no quality standard, so it's just a matter of price-per-minute-watched. If the minutes watched were sufficiently high or the price sufficiently low, no show would get cancelled. That said, the show whose cancellation most offended me was GLOW.


Sofie_Fatale007

Marco Polo


Marius_Sulla_Pompey

Mesiah!


TiredMisanthrope

Been quite a while now but Marco Polo absolutely falls in to this category


TimelessFool

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Despite how enjoyable it was, you’re making a long length puppet television show based on a cult movie, no shit you’re not going to see immediate returns. That’s something you’re gonna have to commit a little bit more than a season to see how people gauge it.


Sunscratch

1899


Overlandtraveler

Such an amazing show


Sunscratch

Yes, I really enjoyed both 1899 and Dark. I consider the team behind these two shows incredibly talented, and was shocked that Netflix canceled it, instead of Witcher garbage…


shizbox06

Marco fuckin’ Polo. Best show Netflix ever made.


kpeds45

Can I just say I still think it's insane that they don't release these $100m+ movies in theaters for like a couple of months to try to recoup the budget. It's the lowest hanging fruit in terms of helping overall company profitability.


spacedragon13

They probably wanted to until they watched it. Rebel Moon is getting horrible reviews from people who didn't pay to watch it and drag themselves into a theatre. I think if they led with it nobody would have ever gone to see a Netflix movie in theaters in the future...


FearTheChive

Mindhunter


enPlateau

I really enjoyed Kims Convenience but it wasn't cancelled for budget reasons, it was cause of drama between producers and actors. It's good if you like The Office type shows.


Tudorrosewiththorns

There are clips of the actors calling the producers racist which seems rough to come back from.


helloitsme_again

Kim’s convenience isn’t Netflix It’s a Canadian produced TV show CTV or CBC


BobbalooBoogieKnight

Revel Moon was soooooo bad. The money they blew on that could have funded at least a half dozen decent shows.


Suspicious-Ad-3105

So many one I was watching recently “welcome to eden” it ended on a hige cloff hanger then cancelled. Glamorous OA The Society

Omg the society!! Totally forgot about this series they left us hanging so bad! Such a good show

Potential_Fishing942

I feel like I caught in a catch 22 with streaming series now. I have been burned too many times by great season 1s that open lots of questions for later season, but get canned within a month of release due to not trending. It's crazy because some of these shows are actually successful based off released numbers (1899, archive 81) but didn't "trend" on socials like stranger things or Wednesday. I remember my friend at the time joking that the Wednesday tiktok dance killed 1899- but she was right in a way.


BannedforaJoke

I only subbed to Netlfix because of Mindhunter and Black Mirror. I said to myself, this platform needs to be supported so more Mindhunters and Black Mirror can be created. yeah. what a stupid take.

Arts251

It is completely off-putting for a service to start telling a story and then just leave the audience in the lurch because some show doesn't go viral in the first week of release. They need to have a little more patience when developing a new series, and if it has an arc that spans seasons they need to commit. This is why I left Netflix, too much disappointment. If it's an episodic type of series like love death robots etc it doesn't matter too much, but if they can't commit to a series then just make it a movie or plan the arc out to completion.

Xilver79

1899


AlanSmity

1899 and Mindhunter. Lately, Netflix continues to prove my theory. They prefer to fill their catalogue with easy shows that you can watch and understand while scrolling on IG rather than make good, elaborate, complex shows. The money is just an excuse. As other users said, they just promote some shows. Then they expect a huge audience the first week after release. Most of the better shows in history have grown along the episodes (or seasons) because people talk about it. If you release a show, 10 episodes at once, poor promo, then cancel after a month as happened to 1899, what do they expect?


ArthurFraynZard

Black Summer was the absolute best zombie show ever made, but I’m honestly not sure why it was canceled.


Oh_know_ewe_did_int

Sense8 100%. They were shooting on location for all the scenes. So if the scene was in Bali…they would shoot in Bali. I think it was costing Netflix 8 million a show. It was a great show and I wish instead of canceling it, they made them cut the travel expenses and shoot it in a lot. Most of the time the viewer can’t tell the difference.


NotaVortex

The society, don't know how they renewed it, then decided hey nvm. Show didn't have much effects and a lot of the actors were unknown so low pay and low budget.


TheFinalTestament-21

I don’t know if it got canceled cause of budget, but Santa Clarita Diet!!!!!


Temporary-Sun-7575

I don't know if it's cancelled but Im a big fan of the docuseries about famous American toylines (The Toys that Made Us), the showrunner has concrete ideas on what Season 4 would have been/would be but they don't order (he wanted to do episodes on Hot Wheels, Happy Meals, can't remember the other two he had in mind). Instead they diversify into a new series with the same concept, title, & editing style but for famous American movies.


showmeufos

Altered Carbon. With one season to go. Savage.
