Netflix absolutely needs to stop cancelling abruptly. They must use their internal metrics to decide that a show isnt attracting a critical mass fast enough, then they cancel. I know there sometimes are other reasons due to increased costs of actors for following seasons etc but... I have avoided almost every show that Netflix canceled abruptly without a conclusive ending. I don't watch a lot (time constraints) so I check carefully before I choose to watch a new show. Netflix is full of shows I would have watched if they hadn't cancelled them. Their current strategy is ' leave a sour taste on enthusiast forums everywhere ' informing people like me to not waste my time. I'm a year or 3 behind others in my viewing schedule and I know many in the same boat. As someone who grew up reading Robert Jordan or watched Breaking Bad from the first season, you learn to wait for some shows or products to be complete before engaging.

Pamela Sargent's Venus trilogy was my Wheel of Time. Venus of Dreams and Venus of Shadows came out in 1986 and 1988 respectively. The third volume Child of Venus only came out in 2001. It was a good book, but it seemed as though the author was a different person at that point, so it wasn't very satisfying to read. Currently, I'm annoyed at the lack of followup volumes to Diane Duane's Omnitopia Dawn, which came out in 2010. I haven't read any of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, and won't until it is done.
