‘Netflix Correct Your Mistake’: What’s the Most Upsetting Series Cancellation So Far? (POLL)
Netflix has been creating its own original content for the last decade-plus, changing the television landscape from appointment programming to streaming in the process. They even introduced the phrase “binge-watching” to the masses and the pop culture lexicon. Their library is filled with compelling programs ranging from Orange Is The New Black and Bojack Horseman to groundbreaking comedy specials and anime programs like Castlevania, plus a robust catalog of films ranging from genre to prestigious Oscar bait, like Martin Scorsese‘s The Irishman.
However, the streaming world is also responsible for the near-daily cancellation of various original programs, with Netflix as one of the worst offenders. Although many series on the service have bowed out gracefully, such as House of Cards, Ozark, and Mindhunter, other hit series like GLOW, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and countless others have been axed prematurely.
Other networks have saved some series, such as when Pop TV shortly picked up One Day at a Time before its 2020 cancellation due to COVID, but those instances are few and far between. Meanwhile, other shows, such as Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It, are still being shopped elsewhere with no new seasons in sight. Many series, like The Society and Messiah, shut down production due to COVID, as well.
And the recent trend? With originals such as Uncoupled, 1899, Warrior Nun, and Archive 81, the cancellations come with little to no reasoning.
This has left many television fans with commitment issues, with many fearing wasting hours on a show that may disappear after one season anyway. On the other hand, others have launched major online campaigns to save the series, most recently getting the term “Netflix correct your mistake” trending on Twitter.
In the list below, we ask you which noteworthy or recent Netflix cancellation has been the most offensive. And sound off with more thoughts in the comments!

Warrior Nun. Zero sense to cancel it when it was just beginning to get into an epic story and the fanbase was growing. And the reviews were great on season 2.

Netflix FIX YOUR MISTAKE! Warrior Nun is a brilliant, original story. We waited 2 years for season 2. And then just boom. Typical Netflix. Shut it down. What do you want? You have viewership but still you fail the watchers.

Julie and the Phantoms. There’s so much potential with it. It reaches people of all ages to the point that we’re all still fighting for it 2 years and 4 months after it was released and a bit more than a year after it was cancelled. If they won’t do anything with it, they need to give Kenny Ortega the rights so he can continue it

I don't know about Mindhunter bowing out gracefully, the creators just all got too busy for it, but there's still reports of another season in the works supposedly, so fingers crossed.
Worst cancelation for me was The OA.

I love & recommended Warrior Nun to friends. Awesome action series with great special effects & fighting choreography. Season 2 had me binge watching. Shocked it was cancelled. Hope it gets picked up elsewhere.

be careful to set up a system that prevents snowballing with bots

It's called Uncoupled not Uncoupling. And why mention it in the article and then leave it out of the poll?

Canceling The Dark Crystal was a travesty.

When they start saying again, "Ladies and Gentlemen" at online workworks, then I will return, but not until then! Florida is a common sense conservative state where most people have brains!
