The show is "The Residence" :)

Yea I think so. Season 1 is a nice complete story, so there's no cliffhanger or other BS

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, it was a fun show

[-] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

No idea, I haven't seen it, I just checked the article as I was curious what show it was!

[-] Remorhaz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It’s nothing special. It likes to waste a lot of time recapping itself, and has 4 jokes that it will cycle through repeatedly, one of which is just that Hugh Jackman was in attendance during the murder, but the show didn’t actually get Jackman so it’s just a guy.

You aren’t really able to solve the murder because they fail to properly foreshadow the “clue” who the murderer is.

Too much tell instead of show

[-] SteposVenzny@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

Dumb ending but it was a fun ride along the way.

Honestly, just cancel Netflix.

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 10 months ago

That's exactly what I've done

Time to use CBC gem 🔴, NFB and the available provincial broadcaster options instead!

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

What infuriates me even more is when they keep the cancelled shows in the library with no warning.

So 5 years from now someone goes "oh yeah this looks good" and then loves it and subsequently finds out it was cancelled 4 years ago after wondering why the hell it's taking so long for seasons 2 to come out.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 10 months ago

i think netflix also makes these studio sign some kind of non-compete so they cant go to another stream or network to continue said series.

[-] elgordino@fedia.io 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, for me Netflix has been downgraded to the ‘subscribe for a month or two a year’ tier, like all the other services.

[-] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

My wife wants to finish sandman then we’re kicking it to the curb.

[-] jonesy@aussie.zone 44 points 10 months ago

My rule for a long time has been to not start any Netflix series until after it's completely done, i feel significantly less disappointed this way.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

This is a very reasonable rule, but unfortunately I think it also impacts the metrics they use to make these decisions.

[-] cristian64@reddthat.com 7 points 10 months ago

I've been following this rule for about a good decade now. It doesn't apply only to Netflix series.

The are many series to watch; no point in starting to watch one without any guarantee that the series will keep consistent good ratings until the finale.

[-] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

I'll never forgive Netflix for canceling Sens8 it was such a novel concept that could have gone on for at least 2 more seasons, yeah the orgies were awkward and I don't quite remember the point of them but other than that it was a great show

[-] rodneyck@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

The orgies were awesome, but besides that I agree. I lived for this series.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It was such a cool concept. The ending felt really forced, you could tell they had a bunch more story planned.

It was also cool they always filmed on location, it was nice to watch. Some shows will be set somewhere, but the background is so obviously southern California it just takes you out of the plot. I'm sure it was expensive AF, but it showed in the quality of it.

[-] RandomStickman@fedia.io 17 points 10 months ago

You can reuse this headline every year

[-] redsunrise@programming.dev 14 points 10 months ago

Why do they exclusively only cancel good shows (Mindhunter, Inside Job, now this) and keep up actual garbage?? I don't think Netflix has made a wise business decision ever, the only reason they're successful is because they were the first. They're lucky Blockbuster didn't buy them.

[-] Envy@fedia.io 13 points 10 months ago

Mindhunter wasn't canceled initially, David Fincher put it on hiatus himself

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 months ago

I personally think they should have given him a blank check to get him back, everyone has a price

Tbh they do also cancel low-rated shows too. You just don't care when they do.

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago

Maybe garbage shows are cheaper to produce, or get better viewers-per-dollar-spent measurements?

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I've read that they cancel most shows after two seasons because season 3 is usually when the cast renegotiates their salary and they're too cheap to pay them what their worth.

[-] DrWalterBishop@piefed.social 11 points 10 months ago

It seemed like a miniseries to me. Who's expecting a second season when the mystery in the titular residence is solved at the end of the first?

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah that's what I thought as well. I guess I wouldn't have minded seeing them do another mystery with one more season, but the concept has potential to get tired pretty quick

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Wow, I didn't even know Kaos was canceled. That show had amazing cast and unique setting. Wtf.

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 months ago

It wasn't my cup of tea but it was a well made and interesting show, I'm surprised they cancelled it.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Cast alone should have kept the show running. Jeff Goldblum as Zeus? Perfection lol

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

Jeff Goldblum can only be a good thing

[-] thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I wasn’t surprised. Trans-masc romance is not going to appease the political leadership of the country. Why take the risk of a twitter/truth-social tirade?

[-] UsefulInfoPlz@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Welcome to the club… we have shirts.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago
[-] UsefulInfoPlz@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

The list is so long…

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

How could they cancel a show with Jeff Goldblum hamming it up as Zeus??

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

He was born to play that role.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

They'll need funding for Big Mouth from somewhere.

Haven't heard about the show but I honestly can't stand shows about "The White House" anymore. Just ignoring the current fascist politics is unforgivable, so is showing the previous US regime as "the good old days", but even any attempt to address it but still make it entertaining is distasteful too. It's just propaganda one way or another.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 3 points 10 months ago

I wonder if they're going to start cancelling shows after the first half of the season.

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 5 points 10 months ago

Why not go back to cable TV methods and cancel it after the pilot?

Oh is it that time of the week again?

[-] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

The ending was so bad that it made me regret watching it, anyway.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Time to watch your local broadcaster and library movies.
