LPT: If there's a show on Netflix that came out that you want to watch but don't have time, just let it play through the full season even if you aren't watching it. Netflix cancels shows that don't get enough full season watches within the first month.

You can always go back and watch the season in your own (reasonable) time later, but if you want that season 2 just let it play through as soon as it comes out.

Play a full season of a show on your device even though you're not watching it?

That's egregious to me.

Why? If it's just on in the background, what does that matter? I agree it's not great, but neither is the method to which Neflix decides to greenlight a second season.

I feel like you're intentionally missing the point here. Not really sure what you're getting at.

“Only 682,344 views? If it’d just been 682,345 we could have renewed the series. Oh well”.

I’m sorry, but despite noble efforts, your single viewership is not going to save that show.
