Netflix has created a self-fulfilling cancelation loop with its new shows
I was thinking the exact same thing a couple of days ago, when I heard about 1899 being cancelled. The thing is, I totally wanted to watch that, and it was on the &quot;short list&quot; of things I&#x27;d planned to start watching soon. But now that I know that it&#x27;s cancelled, and especially knowing that it ends with a cliffhanger, there&#x27;s no reason for me to <i>ever</i> bother starting it.<p>Look, I know there are financial considerations at play for production companies and all. But at some point you gotta be willing to either commit and do something all the way, or not do it at all. This half-assing isn&#x27;t helping anybody.<p>This isn&#x27;t just Netflix either. My big fear now is that the &quot;Wheel of Time&quot; series will be cancelled before the entire story is told. Which makes me very reluctant to start watching it. And if other people are also reluctant to start it for the same reason, that&#x27;s going to hurt the viewership... which makes it all the more likely to be cancelled! You can&#x27;t win.
