There's a scene where the protagonist is playing russian roulette with one of the bad guys and when he's down to the last two chambers (they don't spin the gun) the bad guys says "Yeah you could just shoot me, but then you'd just be like all the rest, a piece of trash. You just got lucky." and then to prove a point Mr. Squid Game doesn't just shoot the other guy, but instead takes the 1:2 chance and makes it. Then he passes the gun to the other guy.

When the villain had that monologue I was so ready for the protagonist to go "yeah I did just get lucky, what are you even going on about? I know I'm not special." and then shoot him or something.

How many netflix failsons were allowed to give notes on this?

I have zero interest in watching another season of this. Can nothing just be a good miniseries anymore? Gotta run everything good into the ground until it sucks?

It’s the Netflix paradox lol. Good shit with an ongoing narrative gets cancelled after one season, stuff that should have been a one and done or maybe two seasons gets dragged out for years (see also: stranger things)

There's a lot of that.

They did, to be fair, let Maniac and Beef stand on their own, but Jesus stranger things should have ended after s1.

EDIT: but goddamnit I just remembered they canceled The OA. Fuck Netflix man

EDIT 2: Beef is getting a second season apparently, but it is at least not a sequel

An exception to that rule might have been Bojack Horseman. It had a great ending after multiple seasons and resolved itself very nicely. IMHO, it might be the greatest show Netflix ever produced.

Generally speaking, you're right though. It doesn't just apply to Netflix, but almost every Television series. On the other side of the spectrum shows' greatnesses are realized long after they're canceled due to poor marketing, like Inside Job.

EDIT: small grammar change.

You know, I tried multiple times to get into Bojack and it never landed for me. It seems like it should be extremely my shit. Maybe I should give it another go one day.

The first season is it finding itself, I struggled with it too but after that it's pretty great

Yes everything has to be wrung out. What we do in the shadows ended recently and as soon as it ended there were calls to keep it going: "It was still good!"
The (american) industry does not understand getting out while the gettings' good. This isn't even a capitalism thing, it's an american capitalism thing.

They cancel the good stuff that needs new seasons and drag out the stuff that should have ended

Before what we do in the shadows the last show I saw that ended on a high note was probably Better Call Saul and that's been a few years. On the other hand I just found out Archer didn't end when he got in that coma. It's still going on. The Simpsons is older than my adult nephew
