Task on HBO is a fantastic show. 10/10.

Agree. Ran through it in a couple of nights. Ruffalo gives his usual stellar performance and supporting cast was great as well. Interesting story lines with a few little plot twists that made it a worthwhile watch.
 
SIAP. Blue Lights on Brit Box is well worth the time. Police drama shot in Belfast, Northern Ireland, gritty and it moves along. Two seasons with six episodes ea, and a third not out yet. Consider subtitles for the accents and idioms.

I just finished "Countdown" on Prime. It was actually pretty decent...then I found out Season 2 isn't happening. Ugh!

That's always soul crushing.

Happens to a lot of solid shows too. Just didn't snap up enough audience, or the right audience, to continue even though the creative output is strong.
 
It does make you wonder why they create so many streaming shows, give it one year and dump them.

So many people binge these days that often you don't even find a show until its not renewed. Considering the spin up costs, is it cheaper to develop the next one and done than to just do a 2nd season of an avg performer and maybe it gets a following later?
 
It did remind me NBC is trying to bring back The Rockford files. I just wish they had kept Life for more than 2 seasons.

They said it didn't do well enough with the international audience

My understanding is it's all about drawing new subscribers and maintaining existing subscribers. Not all shows have those powers, but sometimes a single season of those shows is productive enough on both fronts to be a good bet but not beyond that.

I did.

It's weird. I was entertained. It's one of the most series on Netflix I've watched.

Hmmm. Being odd that I work with children in a residential facility I feel kinda of obliged to watch it.
And a co worker said it was good.

Either going with wayward or yellowjackets.

Couple movies on Netflix I wanna watch society of snow and woman of the hour.

Yellowjackets is CRAZY. Also, gross. But also, fascinating. It's like Lost meets grind house cinema (that's an exaggeration. A little.)

Given your line of work if a coworker said it was good I'd trust their judgment. Like I said, I was entertained. It's an unusual show though. Lots of unexpected things happen but not necessarily in a mysterious way.

Sorry that second paragraph was about Wayward.

About 5 episodes in on wayward and it’s good. But find my self cringing sometimes. I kinda suspect where it’s been going so we’ll see.
Def glad I started it.

Am pissed Netflix took the 100 off. That was my comfort show.
