Good shows are usually expensive in their first season and always in later seasons.

Expensive is a word accounting, finance and investors really don’t like.

But then why do the rug pull of making one or two seasons of a good show and then killing it? That serves to piss off everyone who took the time to watch and get interested in the show. If Netflix only wants to make reality tv they should just own that.

I stopped even considering Netflix shows with only one or two seasons because they almost always get killed mid-story. Which means I pretty much never watch Netflix now. Out of state relatives using the account is the main thing keeping me subscribed, so when that sharing gets cut off it'll be the end of my subscription.

It works short term to attract new subscriptions, which is what counted until last year.

Let's say you aren't alone in your subscription situation, to put it mildly.

Who really likes the word expensive?
My wife.
