[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Captain Fall was great I thought. Too bad.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe I'll check it out, but not on Netflix lol

[-] Ardiente@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago

Wtf last time i heard about shadow and bones it was the confirmation of a second season i think not even 3 months ago.

[-] Sinupret@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

The second season was released 8 months ago and confirmed over 2 years ago. You may slightly misremember something here.

[-] Ardiente@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck, you are right, I canceled I thin almost a year ago when they started cracking on password sharing and this was one of the kast shows in enjoyed there, may pay for a month to binge all the new things and leave for another year.

Honestly it's not worth it to watch a show on netflix.. they just cancel it after 3 seasons

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 4 points 1 year ago

Just wait till the show is finished before watching.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not even getting a 3rd season these days

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I haven't paid for netflix since they canceled Damnation right after it launched. Why should i subscribe to something that barely ever finishes the stories they start? Fuck em...

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Now the Hollywood strikes are over, networks and streaming services are having to make decisions about their existing properties, with it being expected that many might fall foul of an untimely axing due to rising costs after production on all projects was stalled while the writers and actors protested for fairer compensation.

Days later, Netflix has gone ahead and culled five shows, one of which was a number one hit and had a fervent fanbase that campaigned for a season renewal: Shadow and Bone.

While the first season of the fantasy series, adapted from Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels, did big business for Netflix – even spawning a video game spin-off – season two struggled to break through in a major way, which is believed to have led to the service’s decision considering the show’s large budget.

Writer Hector Navarro wrote: “Do not, for any reason, ever fall in love with a Netflix TV show.

Earlier this year, the streamer shocked viewers by declining to renew 1899 for a second season, despite the fact that the German-language thriller had featured prominently in the Top 10.

Following the announcement, a Change.org petition was launched by a fan, unsuccessfully calling on Netflix to agree to a U-turn and renew the series.


The original article contains 430 words, the summary contains 207 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Did anyone like Captain Fall? Didnt seem like any of the jokes landed.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 1 year ago

I really don't know why but vast majority of shows go downhill so fast after the first season that I stop watching them anyway. And out of the ones that have solid 2nd/3rd season most will turn to shit before they finish anyway (Game of Thrones anyone?).
