billroperWith the advent of all of the streaming services, I would have thought that the streamers would be slower to cancel series than the traditional TV networks, since there's effectively more space for the series that are no longer competing for time slots. The streamers ought to be able to take a longer view and let a series build an audience through reviews and word of mouth.
It doesn't seem to be that way. If a series doesn't catch a lot of buzz (or even if it does), it gets canned, sometimes (in my opinion) before it has a chance to locate the right audience.
Of course, we can't see the ratings in the way that we do for traditional TV. Maybe there's lots of data that I'm not privy to. (Well, yes. Obviously.)
But it seems a shame.
