Users failing to recommend shows on your platform to possible new users because they were canceled without a resolution. “The OA” is perfect example. Netflix won’t make another dime off that show because anyone that has seen it will adamantly steer people away and anyone that googles it and sees it was canceled on a cliffhanger will have zero interest.
Shows don’t need to run forever, but they need to finish them. If that is 1 season, fine. If that is 6 seasons and a movie, great. But I’m not interested in a show that just stops airing without an ending, just like I’m not interested in reading a book where the publisher just stopped printing chapters at some random point.

- jay_kyburz 6y agoI've always found it frustrating that a lot of fantasy has to be in trilogies. I almost always wait for all three books, for the whole story to be finished, before I'll start.
- Andaith 6y agoYour comment for some reason compelled me to check up on Patrick Rothfuss, as I occasionally do: > In July of 2020, Rothfuss's editor and publisher Betsy Wollheim said, "I've never seen a word of book three" and that she doesn't think Rothfuss has written anything since 2014.[10] well, fuck.
- vl 6y agoNetflix has terrible recommendations and discovery. I watch Netflix almost every day, and I didn’t know about some shows mentioned in the article! I’m constantly surprised when we watch Netflix through my wife’s profile: she gets completely different slice of Netflix, and many shows I would like to see on my profile as well.
