In the UK netflix have the rights, but for some reason it doesn't show up on the service until months after the season has finished on syfy.
Meaning most of my friends who have Netflix ended up pirating it.
I waited until season 2 showed up on netflix last year, but if it's being cancelled anyway I don't see much point in waiting this year.
- _stephan 8y agoPeople obtaining the show from other sources before it is released on Netflix might be a reason for the show not doing well enough on Netflix to be worth picking up. Plus the marketing probably was only half-hearted, since Netflix doesn't own the US streaming rights.
- XorNot 8y agoNetflix need to ditch the binge format streaming and support weekly releases. That would let them do same-time as US releases globally, which would mean people could engage with the online communities of these shows.
- Xylakant 8y agoNetflix does support weekly releases. The latest Star Trek for example was released weekly.
- caf 8y agoYes, The Good Place came out weekly on Netflix too.
- bencoder 8y agoThey do weekly releases for some shows (maybe most shows that they don't produce themselves). I assumed it was some ridiculous commercial arrangment that meant they couldn't show it until after the season has finished in the states - but I have no idea
- techterrier 8y agoseries 3 is amazing so watch it for sure. The writers have also said it doesn't end on a cliff hanger either.
