What the fuck...
It was pretty popular and ended on a giant cliffhanger.
I dont get why streaming services sink so much money on these huge shows that they own, then cancel a month after they first air.
They need to start committing to entire arcs, give it 2 to 3 seasons with a good ending and it's a show only that service will have forever.
Now even if new people watch the only season, they'll get to the cliffhanger, find out it's cancelled, and be less likely to try the next new Netflix show as soon as it comes out, which is a death spiral because more shows will get cancelled this fast.
They're obsessed with short term profits because that's what stockholders want, but that doesn't make the content consumers work, so they have to keep raising prices so the stock always increases until one day it just dies.
My wife and I are halfway through the season, now series. Should I even bother watching the back half?
It's about the journey, not the destination. So yeah. I'd finish it
It's the typical Marvel cliffhanger where you get some answers and a decent ending, then like the very end sets up the next one that will never never exist.
