I came to the conclusion that Netflix doesn’t understand marketing. The hit shows they had seem to be lucky finds and they think they can reproduce that by dumping money into a show and telling no one about it. Like fanboys will just watch whatever Daddy Netflix gives them.
Cowboy Bebop is a perfect example. They market it to die hard anime fans and no one else. Those fans hate it and it gets cancelled. The show wasn’t that bad and people like my dad would have loved it, had he ever heard about it.
That show sucked ass. I got through the first episode. I’m sure it worked better as a comic book. The villain was like, killing the superheroes left and right and then one of the heroes finally killed the villain (who had escaped prison or something) and then the papa hero got all pissy because “We don’t kill!” Just really stupid stuff
This is what they spent the subscription increase on lol
I find it funny how both Netflix and Amazon are just so good at burning money on mediocre shite nowadays. Amazon's studio output has always been throwing obscene money at any pitch or stupid idea, but once upon a time when Netflix promoted their own shows, you just knew they were going to be worth watching.
It'd be fine, if both companies hadn't ruined their products and laid off hundreds, if not thousands of people.
Sounds like tax fraud or something
I watched it. It was a good looking show. And the origin story (which took over half the season I think) was well done. But where it really fell down is that none of the characters are likeable. At the end of the season I was kind of relieved it was over because I didn't care whether any of them lived or died.
I didn't think it was that good anyway, but it boggles belief that they spent that much on one season of anything. 200 million is a ludicrous amount of money, and they just flushed it and went "oops lol, anyway, here's wonderwall".
And yet people still pay for the shit. Because… social peer pressure? Addiction?
All I read is how people can’t afford shit, streaming is expensive, the content sucks, I can’t steal passwords anymore; yet people keep paying for this shit and their subscribership keeps increasing.
People need to vote with their wallets.
They probably want to sell it and when they saw that it might not be doing well they pulled it before enough data was gathered to show it was a flop.
The anime was better tbh
I swear, it's like someone gave The Cannon Group a streaming service.
In fact, they might be better off doing more one-shot films featuring ninjas than expensive series like this.
It looks like a porn parody of The Boys.
