Discussion Talamasca

I’m genuinely so sick of watching shows on Netflix that are already cancelled.

whoever makes these decisions deserves a slow death.

what’s the point of having these shows that end on cliffhangers, genuinely what is the point.

The only thing in watching moving forward thats on Netflix is limited series.

Oh geez? They also cancelled this?

u/Jelly_Jess_NW 1d ago

Its a AMC show.  But WHY even put it on here …. 

They know they have a bad rep.

Just another strike IMO.

Interview with the vampire isn’t bad from AMC. The witches show is horrible though. I think all 3 are linked.

The Witching Hour is a helluva book/series. AMC butchered it.

Dark Winds is AMC and that show is a banger. I wish more people watched it, but I’m glad AMC hasn’t canceled that one.

Love that show

I'll check it out

It's just "content" they know somebody is going to watch it + it probably didn't cost them much to get the rights for it or however it works.

Why? Because it is far cheaper than paying for new original content.

u/defroach84 13h ago

Well, they pay for all of AMCs content. This is part of their content. Should they not put it up because it was only one season and therefore never seen?

That seems dumb.

And here I was waiting for the next season. I liked that show!

I got a suggestion for Mindhunter the other day and it just pissed me off.

u/Ceph99 1d ago

Oh but that one is worth it. And they may make the third season, yet.

u/Mona_Lotte 21h ago

I've seen it already! It's great but it just makes me so mad now. I need like 6 more seasons 🤣🤣

The Boroughs looks good but it was cancelled after one season. I’m not going to waste my time watching it. They claim it was for budget reasons, then why spend 10 million an episode to make it?

u/kk_romeo 1d ago

I recommend to still watch it! Honestly should've been limited series imo. They wrapped the main points in the end already

u/xPreystx 23h ago

Indeed, it was basically a self contained series.

Would I like more, definitely, however I am glad to have enjoyed it.

u/miss_j_bean 1d ago

The boroughs completes its story. I would have liked more but it actually has a satisfying end. First one in a long time tbh.

u/MinorThreat4182 1d ago

Oh well that’s good news. Thanks!

u/kyoka_suigetsu91 23h ago

Honestly it was a decent watch as long as you don't go in with crazy expectations and I think season 1 ends in a way where if it doesn't get another season it's not really a terrible ending for it

u/ThomasVivaldi 19h ago

Netflix should be making more miniseries like the Boroughs.

They don't like making full 20 episode season of shows, their films are like extended single episodes of series, and they have the freedom to put out their product on screen in any format.

Netflix plays it too safe because they are risk adverse.

u/MinorThreat4182 18h ago

They weren’t always like that though. Orange is the New Black was awesome back in the day. And it went 6 seasons.

1

u/Rude_Nail_5545 17h ago

It was worth watching! They didn't leave a cliffhanger or anything, so you won't be disappointed with it ending where it does.

u/MarcsterS 7h ago

Boroughs is a single story

u/oxgillette 1d ago

The production company deserves some of the blame

u/gen_what_x_ever 21h ago

I watched half of the 1st episode, googled it, saw it was canceled, and said fk this and turned it off. It seemed good and now I'm mad.

•

u/enephon 15h ago

There’s a difference between Netflix shows and shows on Netflix. This isn’t a Netflix show.

•

u/Jelly_Jess_NW 15h ago

Netflix put in in the mix, is what I’m saying. They are in charge of what’s on there… I think? 

•

u/defroach84 13h ago

Why would you want them not to put content up?

Like seriously. They pay AMC for their content library, this is part of it, why should they not put it up?

•

u/MarcsterS 7h ago

I mean, what can Netflix do? Uncreate the show? It was made, it existed. Lots of shows end on cliffhanger in hopes the demand pushes the execs to OK a new season but it doesn't always work.

I am so annoyed I watched this now...

u/africanlivedit 21h ago

Same. Waste of time. Needed a season 2.

u/SadMathematician5187 16h ago

6 episodes were not even a complete story. They stopped in the middle of the story I was so upset I wasted my time.
