  Jury’s out on their content direction. They cancel great shows before the first season has even had a chance to permeate. It’s clear they have little interest in long term artistic investments.

    It also shows that they have no interest in building a library of quality content. They could invest in shows that have proper endings but instead they pollute their library with unfinished works that are certain to either be avoided by netflix customers who know that the show was canceled before it concluded, or piss off any netflix customer who doesn't. Netflix doesn't care though because they just want people watching the newest thing they shovel at us. They go out of their way to hide a lot of older content from users to keep people's attention on the new stuff. Half of the categories they show you are just new ways to show you the latest things they're pushing (recently added, trending, top 10, new on netflix, your next watch, top picks for you, we think you'll love these, etc.) and every other category just repeats the same shows. Who cares if some show leaves you disappointed because it got you hooked but then was canceled after 3 weeks, Netflix will just push some other newer show to keep you watching until they cancel that too.
