    I don’t understand why Netflix doesn’t just make movies instead of TV shows.

    Or make short series instead of multi-season.

    They are good at making great first season TV but then if it doesn’t get their magic number they cancel it and leave their customers hanging.

    Just make the one season as an open and closed thing and call it that so no one gets their expectations up.

    If it becomes some awesome hit thing, make an actual series as an offshoot / spinoff type thing.

      Netflix only cares about new subs. New IPs drive new subs. New seasons of old IPs are money spent on people who are already customers. They make one season of a show you’ve been waiting for, you sign up, you watch that season, they cancel the show, statistically speaking you probably don’t cancel your subscription and then they redirect that money to running the same game on someone else.

      I really don’t understand their business model tbh.

      It seems like it’s just “burn as much money as fast as possible”.
