Netflix will air a show and that will be it, I never watched this, but my gripe about Netflix is not following up with good to decent shows, then will go do another show, unless it does ridiculous numbers Netflix won’t green light another season
Netflix is my now my enemy.

This show was very good. From what I’m hearing. Netflix barely promoted it. It was basically a hidden gem. It grabbed my attention in the very first episode. I still recommend watching it even though it’s cancelled. I hope another network picks it up.

This is strike number 3. I’m still mad they cancelled The Society, and I’m Not Okay With This. They both ended on cliffhangers. After Stranger Things next season, I think a lot of people (myself included) are dipping. It was a good run, but the way Netflix been moving lately. Shyt’ll probably come full circle, and what happened to Blockbuster is going to happen to them.
Netflix business model is producing a lot of content for as cheap as possible. They frontload the production for a season or two then decide based on numbers if it continues past that point. They rely on subscribers to keep the lights on so it's more important to continue the content pipeline than it is to invest in building up shows. The only content they seem to revisit past the first two seasons is the stuff that goes viral and gains popularity that way. As long as they stick to the binge watching model it's the only way forward to them.

Which is crazy, You is on season 4 and it’s a lot of good shows that ended with one season

It's not about a show being good so much as it becoming popular. Though I enjoyed Wednesday I wouldn't consider it a textbook good show but it went viral and got renewed. They've likely canceled much better shows. They'll often send shows to die just to keep the fire warm like they did Warrior Nun Season 2. For promotion you're lucky to get a newsletter email and a post on their official YouTube and Twitter account when the date is close.
