    I don't understand why Netflix doesn't just make movies instead of TV shows.

    Or make short series instead of multi-season.

    They are good at making great first season TV but then if it doesn't get their magic number they cancel it and leave their customers hanging.

    Just make the one season as an open and closed thing and call it that so no one gets their expectations up.

    If it becomes some awesome hit thing, make an actual series as an offshoot / spinoff type thing.

    Netflix only cares about new subs. New IPs drive new subs. New seasons of old IPs are money spent on people who are already customers. They make one season of a show you've been waiting for, you sign up, you watch that season, they cancel the show, statistically speaking you probably don't cancel your subscription and then they redirect that money to running the same game on someone else.

    This is peak capitalism. Taking your money, not caring about providing you with the service you paid for, and expecting you to bend over and take it.

    You think Netflix fucked over that Dirk Gently?

    ITV made a Dirk Gently show that was FOUR EPISODES LONG and it was better than the other show.

    Gotta admit I didn’t watch that… I found out about it after I finished the Netflix show, and that it was cancelled. So I felt salty. Maybe I should watch it…

    It's much closer to the books. It deserved at least a British season of six episodes.

    I also like Stephen Mangan's Dirk more than Samuel Barnett's Dirk, but then I'd watch Stephen Mangan read a newspaper.
