I mean I fukks with Ozarks, but I wouldn't wanna see that shyt go on for 7 or 8 seasons.
Shows should be 4-5 seasons max

IMO 4-5 seasons is a healthy amount. I don't need a long runner since most shows go doodoo after 5. I only get tight when a show gets clapped on a crazy cliffhanger like Angel or Dark Matter
Things will be fine as long as Netflix formats for a 1-3 season run or a mini/limited series style.
That Dark Matter cliffhanger pissed me the fukk off!!!

Showtime shows tend to have a lot more seasons than most other cable shows. I really don't get why. Shameless is still going on

Honest question: how many new subs do new Netflix shows get?
damn near everyone has Netflix already that’s in their target demo, and someone joining a $10-15 a month subscription to watch a new show seems kinda far fetched to me. If you’re getting Netflix it’s to get access to everything.
I’m sure there are rare cases where a new show may just push someone over the top to subscribe, but it seems like they just don’t wanna pay season 4 salaries.

Showtime never knows when to end a series. All of their shows run for too many seasons

They've basically reached maximum penetration, so I agree that it wouldn't make sense to not try to cut costs
everything runs its course...at least they dont end in cliffhangers...
'Messiah' is one recent show that comes to mind that ended with a cliffhanger.

Confused as to why Dark is mentioned since I don't believe it was cancelled. The rest makes sense tho. Diminishing returns and all that. I'm sure if a show was a breakout hit like Stranger Things Netflix would happily keep it running as long as possible.
Interesting you mention Lost since Damon Lindelof claimed Lost was originally supposed to be around 3 seasons but ABC wanted to extend the series for much longer.

Netflix is in a different position than the other content creators. Disney isn’t going to make a Turkish Disney series or a Brazilian witch Disney series.
Disney,WB, Amazon,Peacock are asking the world to consume Americanized(a bit British) culture which limits their growth overseas.
If Netflix becomes a reliable content maker for different countries it can continue to out pace anything the others can.
