I wish Netflix could get the rights to remake or finish the Sarah Connor Chronicles, just watched it again after 10 years and it’s still amazing and left us hanging on a massive cliff-hanger. One of the best shows ever and the worst decision in TV history to kill it off.
Nobody mentioned “The OA”?
That show’s cancellation was shockingly unexpected. I still can’t believe no one wants to finish that story.
It was the first time I saw and enjoyed a Faith-fiction show, a genre I never knew existed before.

Yeah RIP Firefly, I barely watched it a few years ago. Holds up. If they actually aired it in order and not during the major leagues... I'd imagine it would have been a smash. There were so many lame corny sci fi shows back then, I can understand why it was overlooked. Even though I actually watched most of the old corny shows. I really doubt whoever cancelled it actually watched the entire season. Or maybe they were like well we can put a reality show on for 1/100 the cost...
Altered Carbon, I liked season 1. Put season 2 on the back burner. I get that the new guy is a new sleeve or whatever, but I really liked the original actor. The show wasn't like omg this is the best anyways. Barely above watchable. Cringey plot holes\writing at times.

They cancelled the Marvel stuff because they were losing the IP.

Constantine's been on Legends of Tomorrow for a few years. A spin-off show, Constantine, would be nice to see, preferably on Netflix.

The OA is cancelled?! I hadn't heard, though having seen that last episode I did wonder as to how on earth they were going to continue it and still make some kind of sense.
As for Altered Carbon, I didn't enjoy it and I started it twice.
'Rubicon' (pre Netflix I guess) now there's one that shouldn't have been canned, or 'Soap'
I can't say I care too much after the very disappointing season 2.. Without Joel Kinnaman it just wasn't the same, the plot jumped all over the place, and trying to remember which character was in which sleeve all the time frustrated me. Plus the characters were pretty damn boring and didn't develop at all. It all just turned into a disjointed mess that I just stopped caring about a couple of episodes in.
First season I pretty much binge watched.. 2nd took me weeks. No doubt their algorithms see this also among multiple viewers, so the axe it cometh.

Oh, thank God. That season 2 was a disaster. Bad acting by everyone involved except the powerful chick (I forgot already). NOTHING like the first season where they weren't trying to appease the "woke" and where the protagonist has an actual personality.

Typical Netflix, cancel the good shows and not cancel the vast majority of garbage. No wonder people are moving away from them.

1st season was almost perfect but they totally ruined the whole ending because it was too predictable and totally weird, like his sister <did something> and she expected him to stick with her? WTF was that writing for 9y.o. or what?
And 2nd season was just horrible.
Totally expected.

I am glad you still enjoy it. One day about 45 years ago I realized SF and Fantasy books were junk while in the middle of one. I have not been back since but there was a time...

Netflix is trash, I can't remember finishing something over there. Canceled The OA (really hurt this one), canceled Altered Carbon, cancel Sense 8, Cancel The Expanse (thanks to amazon is still running) , I'm keeping the subscription because of Last Kingdom and the movie I watch there from time to time.
I loved first season. But after watching few episodes of the second one, I had to check again what show I was watching. They said it themselves, second season started loosing viewers.
I know why. Lesson: when you make something decent, you need to keep the quality.
It was a smart move after such uninteresting second season.

The first season was great, unique, gritty.
The second season was just awful. Little to no character development, violence and sexuality toned WAY down, and most of all - anthony mackie was a HORRIBLE choice.
I wouldn't have watched the third season anyhow.

I was excited to hear netflix picked up Lucifer for a 6th season. Even if that is the last season, 6 years isn't a bad run for a show, and I was disappointed that it was canceled so it's a nice surprise that it will get another season even if it's the last one. I named my cat Lucifer because I love that show...and because it annoys religious morons like my father. ??

At one point on Netflix it said there was another season coming and then, poof, suddenly nothing. I would love a final season or even long episode to wrap that show up as well as sens8.

They did finally release that? I've been looking for that and now I'll have to check again today because I am bored and loved that show.
The concept of Altered Carbon was brilliant but it's exicution wasn't the best. The first season overall was better but I think that was more the setting. The second season, stayed in one location for too long and it know it was more to do with that the stack tech was originally from that planet but it just got boring quick, which is ashame because the acting was spot on.
As for people slagging off netflix tv shows theres been plenty of good netflix tv series, including ozark, house of cards, stranger things etc, although house of cards still bums me out because I loved it but when I found out about the spacey stuff it left a bad taste in my mouth
