For the streaming service, the impending end of its flagship series represents an existential crisis, writes Louis Chilton

    I call bullshit. They’ve had so many even better shows that they dropped after just 1 or 2 seasons to the point of becoming a meme and they have been just fine. I dont think them actually concluding a good show they’ve had with an actual ending is going to hurt them.

      Stranger things season one was near perfect, but after that it should have been an anthology series

        It was too glorious to be allowed to live.

          I liked “I’m not ok with this”, also “teenage bounty hunters”

          They pushed both even when they had already canceled them. Both were compelling enough to warrant more episodes. Nope.

          I’m more bitter about “the peripheral” tho.

          That was cancelled? I loved the pacing and story. :\

      It didn’t hurt them with Bojack and I don’t think it will hurt them much here

        Speaking of Bojack… If Netflix really was in a bind, they should try and get Tucca & Bertie revived. 😌

          I loved Bojack, but T&B never really clicked for me.

            They’re wildly different shows. T&B was a fun animated sitcom, while Bojack was an exploration of mental health issues and how traumatized and mentally ill people can become the source of their ongoing misery. Bojack hurt, but it hurt because it shone a magnifying glass on your bullshit and the fact that being a good person and a healthy person can sometimes be an uphill battle both ways.

      yea, I could see the issue if they were struggling during all those years between seasons of Stranger Things, but pretty sure they’ve been making tons of money either way lol
