minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·27 days agoMaybe because netflix cancels show a week after season 1 drops? People got burnt too many times, best case scenario it’s a huge hit and in 3 years we get a 8 hour season 2. Why would viewers get invested?
minus-squareTechnus@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·27 days agoSeems like a positive feedback loop: Netflix creates show that’s pretty good People watch it Netflix takes too long to release season 2 People forget show exists, stop watching Netflix drops a season years later No one watches it because they forgot what happened in season 1 and Netflix shows are so serial that you have to know what happened Netflix cancels show due to low viewership Fans of the show feel jilted and slam Netflix on social media Rinse and repeat
