To think the problem with Netflix is nothing ever finishes.

Everything has to have more than one bloody season. Nothing has an ending, just so the last drop cam be eeked out of an idea.

Just watched 'Pieces of her' and it is left unfinished, cue another season with no real content.
Bates Motel, dragged on until it was unwatchable

There are loads more, why can't there just be one series (not season) and have a conclusion?

It's awful. It's now turned into fan fiction.

I felt this way about Ringer, though I'm sure many disagree 😂 it ended on a cliffhanger as well, so I never got closure

Glad you said this. I started it and wasn't that into it so left it to come back to. But now I won't.

If you are looking at Limited series on Netflix definitely watch MAID

Its beautiful and leaves you wanting a second series but knowing that its really important that there isn't one.

I agree about Mindhunter. Would have loved another series

Liar is awful, don't waste your time!

The Good Place is incredible, and I agree with the PP's - I'd rather they just bloody FINISH Mindhunter than kept making new series/seasons of utter shite.

Yes, Santa Clarita Diet just got good and then pooft gone, cancelled to never find out what happened grrrr

I agree some things do drag on too long, but others have sensible endings: Sense8, Castlevania, Stranger Things (planned) for example. I'm going to wait and see what happens with The WItcher - so far they seem to be loosely following the books and I love it.

I prefer a lot of the Korean series as they are longer but tend to to be stand alone.

If it’s not late for the OP, Liar is not worth the effort.

Nor is Behind Her Eyes. Absolute garbage.

I find this is generally true of all American shows. Much less so with British. And this was before Netflix too.

If a British broadcaster had made Lost (for example), it would have been over in 3 seasons, the ending would have been decided before episode 1 was ever written, and it would have gone down as an amazing show iconic of its time.

Instead, as I've found with most American series, it's a ratings game. No plot is decided for a fixed period. No concern is given to declining quality or story arcs etc.

The documentary/ true crime things annoy me on there too for being too drawn out to fill a whole season. Tiger King, Don't Fuck with Cats, Making a Murderer come to mind. I didn't finish any of them because I lost interest, they started really well but then got filled with fluff to fill them out to a longer series.
Game of Thrones isn't Netflix but also was a huge disappointment, rushed for the sake of it because it didn't end when it should have.
Mind you, as a pp mentioned Coronation Street etc a lot of those soaps are just rehashing the same. Old. Thing. Over and over with ever more far fetched storylines.
Whoever up there ^ mentioned The Sopranos must immediately desist though, that's madness! 😂

I wish dark angel stopped at one season. Second season ruined the show! So many mutants.

Have to admit I wasn't sure I wanted a s2 of Russian Doll but I actually enjoyed it.

I'm mad archive 81 was cancelled so quickly. Keep meaning to listen to the podcast for the rest of the story.

@girafferaffle I'm surprised people want a second series of Archive 81; I liked it but I liked the ending as it was.

What I didn't like was the weird way they decided parts of it were set in the 90s yet the only reason I knew that was because they verbally told me. The sets, clothing and hair were definitely NOT 90s!

I was utterly furious about Ozark. It wasn’t kid-friendly viewing, and my kid doesn’t sleep, so I waited the ENTIRE summer holidays to watch the last one and it was a crappy non-ending so they could tag on another series, so I refused to watch it in protest. Good stories need endings.

OTOH, I’ve quite enjoyed The Crown, which doesn’t/won’t really have a neat conclusion. The Queen’s Gambit was the best thing I’ve seen in years. So there is good stuff on Netflix.

I must admit they did expand the mutants, but then I guess that would give more stories for the mutants, as series one pretty much explained max backstory, although pitty about some of the main ladies that were friends with max, was not in season two.

Danny should of been queen and jon snow the traitor, although the way it was seemed like the Dragon was going to the island with the other red priestess, and I'm guessing to resurrect danny.

Another show that needed a series two / 3 was the tomorrow people, but the most recent version of the show.

Punisher has moved to Disney plus now.

I'm really enjoying the eyecandy series. But it is not for those of a delicate disposition.

I Understand your perspectives, but with dark Angel it's nice to have more stories and development with the characters, like supernatural, 15 seasons, even if in parts it's jumped the shark, it's still nice to have a lot of episodes to watch with those characters ect

We need a revenge spin off, and another season of homeland

Well.. I’ve just finished watching Godless. Seven episodes, one season only. It’s absolutely brilliant. Loved every minute.

Agree OP.

It’s cheese on toast but Zoo pissed me off. The first season was good, the other two just got more ridiculous and then the last episode was a cliffhanger only for me to discover it has been cancelled!?! 🤬

Into the night season 1 is great, season 2 is ok I expect season 3 will be ridiculous

Huh hmmm greys anatomy....

Is there?

I don't know whether to be excited or disappointed. It was perfect as it is
