The biggest issue is they take years between seasons. People lose interest.
The first two shows they mention coming out with a season 2 recently had their season 1 release in 2023!
I refuse to start watching a show until it's finished. I get to watch the entire series at my own pace (no waiting a week between episodes or years between seasons), I avoid stewing in my opinions and reading public opinion during the hiatus and having that affect my enjoyment of the next season, and I don't have to worry about the abrupt emotional disturbance of a premature cancelation. The only downside is having to avoid spoilers and not being able to join in conversation with others who are actually watching it while it originally airs.
Yeah two years for six episodes and I just don't give a shit anymore.
I agree. Other people are referencing how Netflix cancels shows after one season, but that doesn't seem relevant here. We're talking about people who do watch season 1 but not season 2.
Only for mediocre shows tbh. It took 3 years for Severance S2 and it was highly awaited still. Now after S2 I'm even more excited for S3 and don't care if they take 2 or 3 years as long as the quality stays there.
But I don't remember when Netflix had something I was so excited for.
Wait, I do actually. The Witcher. Super excited, didn't care that they took 2 years... But then S2 was nowhere near as great as S1 and S3 just took a nosedive.
There's a reason S1 was highly memed and the other seasons not.
