The real cancel culture is Netflix who can’t let a single good show get past season one without canceling it

@Daojoan

The Internet Archive is your friend.

@EthicalProfessor The Internet Archive produces extra seasons of these shows?

@David @Daojoan

Got me.

I prefer older shows.

@Daojoan There seems to be more dreck that's being allowed on the plaform. Used to be Amazon Prime had the "90% of everything is crap" market. More and more movies and series based on video games or just bottom of the barrel UK series with over-the-top Doctor Who villains (JECKLE AND HYDE). There's less of it on Netflix, but still, the enshitification is starting to show.
@Daojoan this is why I’m happy the HBO start in Germany gave me a good chance to cancel Netflix. Quality has gone down for a while
@Daojoan sad, and so true 😢

@Daojoan
Absolutely agreed.

And not least because they churn out so much, most of it is never noticeably marketed.

Add they seem to be especially bad at identifying their best stuff as being what's worth marketing (K-Pop Demon Hunters for an easy one).

@Daojoan What I would like is a culture of entertainment companies who make episodic shows which tell a fixed story that _ends_ at the end of the season, and focuses more on cultivating studios with the *capability* of making new shows, so instead of trying to sqeeze more seasons out of a premise, they just make a new story in the genre. When shows arent allowed to end they just become sequals of themselves and have no stakes because the status quo cannot change, a show that can end can have stakes and consequences too, which makes it more exciting.

@Daojoan

but think of the shareholder value created by the tax writeofffs!

@Daojoan got to stay true to the brand
