Reply to comment by pseudopad in Ted Sarandos says that Netflix has “never canceled a successful show” by avery5712
> Shows are only successful if everyone binges them in the first week
Which is dumb because streaming was supposed to be different than regular TV.
I might've tuned in every Wednesday to watch this week's episode of Lost 15 years ago
But I love the convenience of streaming. I can take my time and get around to something at MY pace...
But they're not giving people enough time to actually do that. That first week or two goes by, and BAM, cancelled... Like, could you not? Could you give me a minute?
I'm sure they ran the numbers, I'm sure that this is what's "financially best" for Netflix... But I really think it's going to bite them in the ass in the long run. It was already annoying as fuck starting shows and having them pulled off Netflix before you got a chance to finish. It's doubly annoying to have them cancelled before you even have a chance to catch up. I've still never watched the second season of Sense8 because I just don't see the point.

What are some of the most egregious examples of this?
