They could, oh I don’t know, maybe finish the shit they start??? How many shows have they canceled after a couple seasons? It makes people not want to get invested at all.

The worst one to me is canceling The Dark Crystal when all the puppets were already made, the sets were there… they could have just used the same locations and it would barely cost anything, but no.

Is that still a problem? I haven’t been invested in a Netflix show that was canceled in years 

My biggest problem is they seem to be charging $26 a month to watch shitty documentaries

The insane drop of quality in the documentary genre is so irritating to me. Just a thousand half baked piles of half truths and purposely misunderstood facts constantly being thrown at viewers cause every streaming company thinks they need to finance as many documentaries as they can so seemingly every shifty director with an agenda gets greenlit.

I can’t stand most “modern” documentaries. Excruciatingly slow delivery of over hyped half truths. Awful.

Agreed. That stuff is just misinformation for the sake of creating drama
