14. Part of it is they cancel things, too

It seems like quite a lot of in-house shows end up being canceled after two or three seasons with no definitive, satisfying ending. I know I've increasingly shied away from shows I might be interested in, because I don't like investing in something that will never be finished. (I also started grasping this philosophy with books series. Authors can blame people like George R.R. Martin for this one).

I'm still spicy about Netflix cancelling Santa Clarita Diet on a cliffhanger. That show was so good!

Yes, networks have also always canceled shows, but it feels like Netflix does it an awful lot.
