Designated Survior ran on ABC for 2 seasons, Netflix made one more, so really ABC cancelled it and Netflix brought it back. This is similar to what they are doing with Lucifer right now.
Shooter was a USA Network series, not Netflix.
- bartread 6y agoThank you for the corrections: all fair points. Unfortunately I can't edit my post but I suppose the modification would be to widen my point: i.e., that my frustration actually applies to shows made by a variety of networks, but picked up by Netflix. The result is actually the same though: the library of shows Netflix hosts (whether their own or otherwise) becomes less valuable due to the number of them that have been cancelled before reaching a conclusion.
- chrisdhal 6y agoYeah, and I generally agree with what you were saying. And I totally agree with some like 24 sigh I think that generally US seasons are too long. However, I only realized that after watching a bunch of foreign (mostly UK) shows on Netflix. These are shows I would have never been exposed to. I too agree that sometimes the UK ones are a bit too short. I remember wanting to watch Luther, but was thinking 5 seasons was a lot (despite loving Idris Elba). Then we got watching and one season (err, series) was 2 episodes. Five series had a total of 20 episodes. That was crazy. The same goes for Sherlock. There's definitely a happy medium, and I feel that the 10ish episode length seems like a nice point.
