'Kaos' Canceled After One Season at Netflix
'Kaos' Canceled After One Season at Netflix
Netflix has canceled 'Kaos' after one season.
Netflix has canceled 'Kaos' after one season.
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.
less likely to try the next new netflix show
I admire your optimism
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.
Wow, I heard it was decent and was going to try it out. Now, why even bother? WTF Netflix, this shit JUST came out. WTF are you even doing?
Big number was not big enough so it was cancelled
When I'm deciding on a show to watch, I am far more likely to choose a show that has 3 seasons or more, because, like, why get invested in characters and their arcs, just to have them disappear before they complete their journey? Netflix is so short sighted with this. There's so much to watch these days, you don't have to re-watch anything, you can find original, quality shows to watch endlessly. And with that in mind, it means that while we may not pay attention to a show that just came out, that doesn't mean I won't revisit that same show after a few years and a few more seasons.
If a show is good enough to make, and you believe in it, then let your creators make more.
Shows these days don't need to be watched immediately to have an impact, and it's in the later years of a show, when you hold the streaming rights, that it brings in money. It's not even that their counting their chickens before they hatch, it's like they're counting their chickens, before the hen has even finished laying the eggs, and preemptively slaughtering the hen because it didn't lay enough eggs quick enough. Putting bean-counters, propped up by AI-fueled investment calculators, in charge of programming will only ever result in continued disappointment. To their bottom-line and to the art produced.
That sucks. It was worth the watch and better than most trash on streaming.
Well that's a bummer.... I just finished watching Season 1 a couple of days ago, and was looking forward to seeing where they were going to go with the next one
This reminds me once again to be extra cautious of watching any Netfilx show unless it already has a couple of seasons under its belt...
......not that it worked for The OA. Fuck Netflix
I really like Kaos and this is a bummer. Really goes to show that I shouldn't get into any Netflix series until it's all finished. Guess that one's on me for thinking they wouldn't cancel a well received show like this again...
Permanently Deleted
For real? This was legitimately well done. I guess Netflix really can't afford any big names these days.
Well great, I can remove that from my list of things to watch.
And I will correspondingly add it because I like short shows that were cancelled, for some reason.
Not enough big magic god special effects was a complaint. Like fuck, I'd rather have solid storytelling and good characters - which Kaos had.
And the thing was I was putting off watching it until I heard about a second season. I don't like to get into new shows anymore unless I know they're going to last, especially when there's so much to watch already. I just finished it the other day and then I see this, breaking the forth wall for some greek god style irony.
I was looking forward to Kaos but hadn't gotten round to watching it yet. I guess I'll just not bother...
If it had continued for another season it might have been worth a watch. But, having ended on a dissatisfyingly unresolved note, it's not worth it at all. Eddie Izzard as a fate was pretty good though.
I don't Have any movie subscription services, but watched Kaos after finding it randomly on a Chinese website
Ii was pretty good! except wierd Netflix kirks like adding unprompted sex scenes and making everyone gay. I remember being surprised how good writing was, but then i figured somebody had a couple of millenia to write a story, Netflix "adapted" it
I didn't think it needed a second season, unlike another comment below which says it ends on a cliffhanger. I d recommend it to watch even with one season
