I learned decades ago to do the same with book series.

I’m still mad about Santa Clarita Diet

Yeah Kaos was the last blow to me, especially being it sounds like everyone involved in that really enjoyed it, it was the numer 1 show at the time, and the next two parts were already outlined and ready to shoot with an actual ending already in mind.

Netflix proved with Kaos that there is no actual logic behind their content decisions

not just netflix, every streaming service/studio does that now.

I really like the artist/author Brian K Vaughn. Millions of people do. One of the best selling authors of graphic novels that exists.

Just finished reading "Y: The Last Man", oh, there's a TV show?.... canceled after one season....

"Paper Girls"?..... canceled after one season...

If they try to tell me that "Saga" is in the works for a TV adaptation (which... fucking good luck) I would hardly be exited for it. Because why get my hopes up? The books are amazing anyways. The art is beautiful in the way it was illustrated. The only advantage a TV show has ever given is being able to easily share the story with family and watch together.

I don't know if it's true but I read somewhere that Netflix cancels a lot of shows after 3 seasons because there are things in the contracts where people get paid more to make the show after three seasons.

I do that with all series. I watched Breaking Bad shortly after the last episode aired, and did so with all series ever since. I have a list of series I want to watch, but they will wait until they are done.

I don't watch half of a movie either, why would I watch half of a series.

that seems irrelevant to this issue. this is about people who do initially watch that lose interest.
