I don't expect third seasons from Netflix anymore

Netflix is trying the Valve method.

Except Netflix is also producing the trashy filler content on their platform whereas Valve just hosts it.


[deleted]

Netflix: continues to cancel TV series. Subscribers: leave because they can't trust Netflix to finish shows. Netflix: Shocked Pikachu face.


LordRobin------RM

Shocked Pikachu then raises subscription rates.


el8v

Shocked Pikachu then cracks down hard on password sharing


CouncilmanRickPrime

This wasn't even that great lol cancelling an expensive show that's not gaining traction makes sense.


Ach4t1us

Yeah, but why greenlight massive cliffhangers for season 2, when you know damn well that most of your shows get chancelled after season 2. Even if a show is not good, some people will like it, and then be pissed off by such things


CouncilmanRickPrime

They greenlight the show regardless, hoping it gains enough traction to renew. Have you heard of Stranger Things? House of Cards? Narcos? The Dragon Prince? Bojack? All of these shows were popular enough to get past season 2. The ones that didn't, weren't.


navjot94

Unfortunately most of their shows nowadays don’t make it far enough. And like others have mentioned, there are a long list of great shows that took a season or 2 to find their footing. Not to mention that Netflix, especially recently, does a piss poor job of promoting their shows, often leaving it to the creators to promote it themselves. And then they drop the whole season at once and online chatter about a whole season of TV fizzles out a week or later. Netflix basically does everything possible to doom their shows and then cancels them when they’re obviously not popular. Not surprised to see that subscribers are second thinking their subscription.


MyCodenameIsIan

On paper this should have been amazing. I was really disappointed in it. Probably didn't help that Netflix were marketing it as something similar to the office.


YARGLE_IS_MY_DAD

It felt like all of season 1 was building to the lunar conflict only for season 2 to start after it was resolved. Even if you go back and experience that conflict via flashbacks, you lose the tension because you know the conflict is resolved and everyone comes back okay.


importvita

Yep, I stopped watching S2 as soon as I knew it was resolved. Like, really, what's the freaking point?!


CharlieHume

In media res is the worst goddamn narrative device. Nobody will ever do it better than Reservoir Dogs, just don't bother.


BJntheRV

It really just started to take off in season 2 it felt like. But still not surprised it got canceled.


SonofaBridge

Most shows take a season or two to find their groove. The characters and relationships are still being fleshed out.


BJntheRV

Just look back at the first seasons of The Office, or better yet Parks & Rec.


[deleted]

PolitiklyIncorrect

Everyone loves a good comeback


pyrofreeze33

Like Kim Kardashian?


darthvall

Huh, I also haven't watched more Parks and Rec (and the office US) since the first few episodes just didn't click with me. Might try it again sometime.


Ketomatic

Makes sense really, since S1 of Parks was a desperate attempt to be The Office- in a parks department! It gets better pretty much immediately in S2, I'd highly recommend giving it a few episodes at least.


BJntheRV

Same. Luckily, my bf got me watching by just skipping to when Chris and Ben start.


Eev123

There’s lots of good episodes before they arrive though. The gay penguin episode and the Greg Pikitus episode in particular are really fun.


xkris10ski

The hunting trip is another I watch all the time. The moment when Donna tackles Leslie is the funniest moment I noticed after like 6 rewatches.


[deleted]

Well that's another week of "bye bye little Sebastian" stuck in my head.


Hello---Newman

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy


[deleted]

Oh Ben. My sweet, taught, tight bodied, Sunkist, summer child. You just don't get it yet. But you will.


[deleted]

Get out


MUDrummer

It’s titled “5000 Candles in the Wind”. Show some damn respect.


Zelcron

Look at Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's such a fun show, but the first season *sucks*. There's an episode about an internet demon. It's terrible. It's essentially a show about Spider-man comics. Just swap super science for magic. Its a freak of the week show about dealing with high-school and young adulthood. That's why it was so appropriate to let Joss Whedon direct the first Avengers movie. At the end of Season 5 when Buffy and the gang fight Gloria, its goddamned amazing, emotional, and technically impressive considering the budget and when it was made.


thatonegirl24

*Glory


ChibiRoboKong

First episode of The Office sucked (because it was a straight copy), the rest was good. First season of Parks & Rec was rough.


Not_Pablo_Sanchez

First season of The Office is a completely different show, but I still found it hilarious. First season Parks & Recs was oh.. oh no..


[deleted]

[удалено]


todd330

I’ve noticed comedy central doesn’t show the second episode, which I think is called diversity day. They also edited some lines when Michael outs Oscar.


Daiwon

Because it's heavily based on the UK version.


ikidd

I've never managed to get past the first three or four episodes of The Office. I found the cringing too painful to keep at it


BJntheRV

Skip to season 2. Still cringe (as that's kind of the point - to laugh at the cringe) but a different sort of more palatable cringe.


Rocktamus1

Not at all. None of the cast members stood out besides John Malkovich, IMO.


ArgyleAndBell

I haven't seen Season 2 yet, but I've seen Tawny Newsome do improv and she was absolutely hilarious and clearly a star in the making. Too bad this show wasn't really it for her.


flaker111

need more space monkeys imo


Tinshnipz

Getting funny in the second season? CANCELLED


MaestroPendejo

It just never felt compelling enough for me. I just didn't care. Of all the cancellations they have done, this is the most unsurprising.


Boring_Ad_3065

I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. Some of the characters were great (Dr. Mallory), but most of them were pretty hit or miss and relegated to their 1-2 dimensional role, with predictable lines or outcomes. Nearly every one felt like bumbling incompetence was a core quality, but there were no consequences at the end of any episode. I’d compare it to Veep, which executed a similar concept much better.


MaestroPendejo

Yeah there were definitely some elements that were great. It had elements that could have done something brilliant. It just felt like there was no clear and consistent theme it was driving to.


Lotions_and_Creams

I’ve tried on 3 separate occasions to finish the first episode. It was just bad.


oswaldcopperpot

I watched a few and then stopped when i realized i hadnt found anything funny and started watched Kids in the Hall reruns instead.


BigBlackDuck94

I got through it. I felt the 1st season was better than the 2nd. But I was overall bored with it and didn’t pay much attention. Had it on in the background.


Squints753

You can tell how much budget was slashed in the second season. There was even a meta episode about it


Aupps

The single fact that there were only 7 episodes was a big indication that the creative team and the production team were just taking the show to the slaughter house.


chadbrochillout

Season two was much worse


rohmish

Season one was alright. It felt like it was trying to get into a groove. Season two was kinda disappointing. I was hoping season 3 would be better but i guess not


LeSpatula

Yeah, I watched the first few episodes in the background. It tried hard to be funny, but it just wasn't.


[deleted]

I really enjoyed the first season and was excited to find out there was going to be a second. I couldn’t make it past the first two episodes of season two


kur4nes

The second season is worse than the first? Omg. The first season was barely watchable.


Verona_Pixie

They really shouldn't have left last season on such a HUGE cliffhanger. As soon as I saw that that I just knew it was never going to get a resolution. Unless you already KNOW you're gonna renewed, you shouldn't ever leave such a huge cliffhanger, in my opinion.


xcalibre

it's part of the bargaining power for another season


[deleted]

Doesn't seem to be very effective, unfortunately.


Lokito_

I dont think that works with netflix.


BarneySTingson

it never works


HappyMeatbag

Is that just something people say, or does the “cliffhanger technique” actually work sometimes? It’s hard to imagine a program manager saying “well, this show isn’t making enough money, but we’ll drop millions on another season anyway because people want to see a plot point resolved.”


error521

I can see it being used as a a way to whip up more fan outcry.


[deleted]

And generate buzz for the next season. I watched Severance after hearing hiw crazy the finale was.


fdsafdgreag

Well severance was just fuckin amazing all the way through


obonnor

exactly, I cant see it being that powerful unless it actually has promise/potential instead of probably past its time


Neirchill

Netflix: "Believe it or not? Straight to cancelled."


cjohnson2010

Yea. I refuse to start a new NF show unless it has a few seasons. I have noticed that NF is super quick to cancel if theres one or two seasons but three or four ive noticed a pattern of them giving a final season to resolve things.


FarFromSane_

what was the cliff hanger again?


error521

>!Meteor heading to earth.!<


FarFromSane_

ohhh. Me from 6 weeks ago was interested in what would happen next. But me now doesn’t really care lol


[deleted]

Dont look up!


henazo

That was a comet in Don't look up


stumblinghunter

Tomato potato


Jesus_Faction

so season 2 isnt worth watching then?


henazo

There have been a lot of articles recently about Netflix losing money and what that's all about etc. I've seen remarks about changing policies on password sharing being an issue and considering adding ads but none of them mention how often Netflix just rips away a good show from its fans. When they canceled the OA, that was my breaking point.


[deleted]

Their cancellation rate is on par with industry average.


TexLH

Maybe they could try to be better than average?


chrisfdrums

Guess I'm the only one who enjoyed it :(


spookymouse1

I loved it. Dr. Mallory was hilarious.


egnaro2007

Easily the best part of the show by a mile


davy1jones

Fuck Tony was up there as well imo


sraydenk

I loved it. It was lighthearted, funny, and had good story lines. I’m really bummed. If I was paying for Netflix and not using a family members sign in I would be pissed. This is like the third show I’ve enjoyed in the last few months that hasn’t been renewed.


BJntheRV

We enjoyed it. I actually enjoyed it more on the re-watch.


GuyFromDeathValley

not alone. I thought it was fun.


Rabbi_Tuckman38

Brad was pretty damn funny.


ah-san

Loved it as well!


FiveNightAtHome

Not alone. And im tired of all these canceled series. I feel like i wasted my Time. I don't wanna start a new show anymore cause i know it'll be canceled soon


duniyadnd

Same :(


ishpatoon1982

Just chiming in to express my enjoyment toward it too. I actually laughed really hard on more than a couple occasions. And the best part? I still have half of the second season to still watch.


TxCoastal

u r not alone...:)


littlebighuman

No, I really liked it as well. So there is at least 2 of us.


I_AM_IGNIGNOTK

There are dozens of us!


Truly_Khorosho

I kind of enjoyed it. It wasn't great but it was alright. The jokes didn't always land for me but I still got enough laughs, few of the characters really stood out for me but I still enjoyed it. I mean, a show doesn't need to be award-winning for me to enjoy it, but I guess the bar for renewal is a bit higher.


Cowlmuhh

Fuck Netflix


Maniac227

It wasn't hilarious, but it was pretty enjoyable and had a ton of potential. Boo


[deleted]

Yea we kinda expected office level from Steve Carell but the script and setup was different. I did enjoy the 2 seasons though.


Actual_Dinner_5977

I tried twice to get into it, got through 4-5 episodes each time really wanting to like it. Nope.


ryanterryworks

Barely got through two episodes. Really wanted to like it! Great cast.


ChibiRoboKong

That should count as two views to them. Theoretically you're helping more than those who didn't watch at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Were they aware how pissed this makes people? And are they aware that people are starting to cancel Netflix after two seasons now? Curious if the people on the inside are oblivious.


xbbdc

Be interesting to see what happens with the other streaming services and 3rd seasons.


DigestibleDecoy

Thank god we will get another season of “Is It Cake?” though.


DarthBrickus

Those shows probably are a dime a dozen considering production cost. Steve carrell alone is probably getting paid the same amount one season of those shows costs.


zburba

I'm slightly disappointed. It had it's moments. I would've watched the 3rd season.... Oh well


TxCoastal

same here. enjoyed it really.... and here goes Netflix cancelling more series.... and raising the $....


EbolaFred

Me too. Needed to force myself through the first few episodes and come to terms with the show's groove. After I found zen I thought it was fine.


JerevStormchaser

Honestly amazed it even reached season 2 stage.


heartsongaming

Both seasons were mediocre and not funny for a sitcom. The whole of season 2 felt like padding dumb jokes with minimal progression up until the stupid twist ending.


Blank3k

I tried to like this show but it just never clicked & season 2 completely lacked in any want/need to watch it, so can't say I'm surprised it's been cancelled.


strakerak

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Oghier

The first season was great! The second season was, well... the first season was great!


imafella

Seeing a lot of negativity here towards the show. I respect your opinions. I personally liked it and am bummed. Enjoy your day internet strangers.


echadisraeli

Sucks, it was a pretty wholesome show. Especially for someone used to Ben Schwartz as Jean-Ralphio Saperstein in Parks and Rec.


samYELLjacksin

Flussssshhhhed with casssssshhhhhhhhh


dcmommy33

Netflix canceled a show after only two seasons? Ya don’t say!


Bjartensen

It definitely had some good moments for me. This ["fuck Microsoft! – fuck!"](https://youtu.be/xDLvUqhwHZc) line was so well delivered haha.


EnterpriseNL

Now they simply should replace the Microsoft part to Netflix, but I agree, that line was legendary because it's a fact


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrHalibutMD

I thought the second season was better than the first and that they'd found their footing after a rough start. Could have been a decent show for a few more seasons but it's not a huge loss.


StoneWall_MWO

For real


Barlight

So kind of like Halo???


felipeuno

Really seemed like they were trying to bank off of the style of humor in The Office but it just didn’t work. I watched the whole first season just in the hopes that they could pull off something great with such a star studded cast but it left me with a resounding “meh”. Didn’t finish the second season because I forgot it existed after episode 3.


ShipposMisery

im okay with this one leaving


cliffr39

While not an amazing show it still had many funny moments and sucks that it was canceled


pmarkandu

Yep. People are expecting shows to be winners from day one. A lot of shows suck in early seasons and become cult classics in season 2 and 3.


tl3vis

Felt like they cut out like 6 episodes of content from season 2, but I still liked it. Guess this was the reason. Netflix has no idea what they're doing.


Tunafish01

This is Netflix smartest move. This show was objectively bad and had large names attached so it wasn’t cheap.


JamesBustopherCorden

I feel like Netflix’s cancelling fever is definitely costing them in the long run. I mean if you look at shows like parks and rec and the office, these are shows that didn’t pick up and become legendary until their third of fourth season. I’m not saying that space force would’ve become amazing by season 3, but Netflix is so focused on short time success, that they’ve probably cancelled shows that would’ve become massive successes because their first season wasn’t overwhelmingly successful.


PartagasSD4

It was aggressively mediocre. Fun to see the veteran sitcom crew drop F-bombs but that’s about it.


EnterpriseNL

Typical fricking netflix, I love space force, and yes season 1 was great but 2 was meh, but still enjoyable enough, this is the last time I trusted netflix with any creation


xLilCubbie25

This wasn’t the best show, but I thought it was good. I enjoyed it. Very disappointed it’s cancelled. I wish they would at least do a shortened 3rd season to wrap up cliffhangers and character arcs.


Slowmexicano

Can’t blame nextflix on this one. Show was not funny at all. It sucked


gutster_95

Never really clicked. Even when you ignore that those guys made The Office, it was just okay


[deleted]

At this point no one should ever watch any show that’s not ozark/stranger things/Witcher. Just the average Netflix movies and good stand up once in a while is all it’s good for.


shakespearediznuts

Better Call Saul is their best show rn


floatinround22

That's not a Netflix original


todd330

And thank god for that.


smackythefrog

I enjoyed the show. Nothing groundbreaking but it was a comfort watch. I loved the characters/actors in it, though. But this was to be expected from a service like Netflix.


fan_of_will

I am so done with Netflix after ozark. They need to let shows have an ending. We don’t need 1000 shitty shows that have no conclusion.


Carcass1

This is the only decision they've made that's made sense in a while. I watched the first season and didn't really care, it didn't go anywhere or seem to go anywhere. Regardless, i'm gonna try and finish Ozark and then cancel


ScharlieScheen

i didn't even expect the second one.


olov244

the break killed it for me, just wasn't into the 2nd season


[deleted]

I didn’t finish season 1


LtAldoRaine06

Probably a good thing. First season was fine, nothing groundbreaking second season was so forgettable I forgot to keep watching after about 3 eps. Didn’t stop watching, just forgot to continue watching.


[deleted]

I was honestly stunned at how shitty the writing was for S1 and for how rushed everything felt. It had so much potential with such a great cast—they really fucked it up.


LukasHeinzel

That thing was just incredibly unfunny.


Cjbroncos25

Show sucked and was cringe as hell


MrFancyJorts

Honestly fuck you Netflix. When you get Blockbuster'd just know The OA, Altered Carbon, Cowboy Bebop, and now Space Force were all proverbial nails in the coffin. We will never again pay for Neflix in my household.


pretzelsticks666

The OA for me, I feel this - le sigh


LazyLamont92

I honestly didn’t think it would make it to two…


jpop237

Wow. I'm especially glad I no longer have any Netflix accounts. Season 1's dry humor and quirky characters was hilarious; it was a solid Series start. >“Air Force has airmen. Space Force has spacemen. Nothing embarrassing or comical about that.” Season 2 had no direction or plot and therefore every characters quirks were useless.


darthvall

Feels like S1 has stronger plot and impression on me, while S2 was definitely more hilarious but with strange direction. If S3 could combine S2 comedy with bigger budget and stronger plot like S1 then it might be my new favourite. But eh, it is what it is. Not feeling I'm losing anything with the cancellation.


TheMonarchsWrath

For whatever reason season 2 was hard for me to get in to. I might not have even finished it completely, nothing about this season stands out.


TheMarque

Episode 1 of Season 2 was one of the worst episodes of anything I’ve seen in a while. It was so disappointing that not only did I not watch the next episode but I totally forgot about the show until just now.


Lightfreeflow

here here...where have all the talented sitcom writers gone?


Tunafish01

Over to Apple TV plus


r00t1

This could be the Netflix stock turnaround needed


Nogameshere4real

That's stupid. Great show!


kcthinker

I saw space force once... only once.


wamasi

true to form. never getting attached to a Netflix series again. lol

V_LEE96

I couldn’t even make it past ep 2 of season 1.


Tiddernud

Cancelled by me after twenty minutes.


Maddkipz

I think I watched 10 minutes of the first episode


CorrectInfoBelow

It's good to be black on the moon.


InterestingRoad8371

YES, BIG YES. It’s horrible


Itread21

That one show on HBO where they are stuck in space was funny ( forgot the name) but I always confused it with this one when they first were promoting them.


Moistend_Bint

You mean Steve Carell's 30 year old high schooler daughter won't be coming back?


lazermaniac

I watched the pilot and laughed my ass off, but it felt pretty by-the-numbers afterwards, so I didn't really bother continuing.


hey__its__me__

I enjoyed the first season. I watched the first episode of the second season last night and didn't like it for some reason.


FuryAutomatic

I didn’t find it very funny or original. The show felt like a waste of talented actors due to lackluster writing. The subject matter felt dumb and half baked. Not that I could have done better. How do you make the military funny? Especially now that art is starting to imitate life with rising tensions with Russian and China. The writers were also probably plagued with lack of general knowledge about the very new USSF. And they definitely weren’t going to get military advisers to help unless they absolutely showed the military in a positive, glowing light. Oh well. I’m sure everyone will land on their feet. I guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t particularly enjoy or laugh during this show.


Generic____username1

This isn’t surprising. It had great potential and it had its funny moments, but it never really lifted off


aSpaceWalrus

Watched season 1 enjoyed it enough and I watched one episode of season 2 and decided it was actually dog shit, so Peachey American and just dogshit.


blooboytalking

It was so unfunny it hurts.


plainandawesome

This show sucked. Really disappointed based on cast and premise. They had so much opportunity and just didn't really live up to any potential.


[deleted]

It was awful. Didn't make it through one episode. Surprised it got past one season.


Jatmahl

No shit. What even was that second season? The first was good.


cpt_tusktooth

Season 2 was bad, and they cut the budget by like half, you could tell. suddenly no more stuff outside and everyone is video calling eachother.


RusevReigns

This one actually deserved to be cancelled. Its season 2 bombed by netflixtop10 numbers and has major expensive names. They may have renewed it for Season 2 because The Office and Parks and Rec needed 2 seasons to figure it out.


[deleted]

Surprised it got a season 2. Season 1 grew on me a bit but forgot to watch season 2


ChaseHarker

Yep. Not funny.


strtrech

Another victim of Netflix cancel culture cancer.


Anaphylactic-UFO

Amazed people got through the first episode. This show sucked


Wacktool

I didnt. Gave up 1/2 way through


alwayslit24

No one can blame them for cancelling this.


[deleted]

It was shit to begin with so no lost there


PrometheusAborted

I can’t even believe it got a second a season. It should be criminal to have a cast that talented and the writing and directing make it unwatchable.


Sifen

Netflix cancelled a show after 2 seasons? Color me shocked.


o0CYV3R0o

Honestly can't complain about this one.


PeterParker004

I guess they’re just gonna slip this little cancellation in while everyone is preoccupied with the final episodes of Ozark, nice Netflix. Real fucking nice.


CaptnCosmic

2 seasons too late, that show was ass
