  1. It was Netflix, bound to be cancelled no matter who wrote it.

  2. Not surprised, but it’s a real shame. The show was really excellent, with strong performances and production.

  4. First one covered 3 books? This should cover the next 3.
    6/11 ain’t bad (considering we never got an adaptation like this before)

  5. Even if Neil didn’t do what he did, Netflix still would have cancelled after season 2.

  7. I love the show but I’m not surprised. I normally separate the art from the artist but after finding out what Neil did i definitely won’t be continuing this show cause it leaves an awful taste

  8. The first few episodes were great, but after the Hell episode I got bored with it.

  9. Netflix can’t hold a show for more than 2 seasons (if that) but want people to keep paying price hikes for “content”

    We paying for them to throw shit at a wall and see what sticks at this point

  10. I’m so over Netflix cancelling everything. These days I’m thinking twice about starting any new show from Netflix, even if it looks incredible.

    Dead Boy Detectives. Awesome. Cancelled.
    Shadow and Bone. Surprisingly good. Cancelled.
    Cursed. Really interesting. Cancelled.
    Etc etc

  11. I’m still fucking pissed about “Teenage Bounty Hunters”! That show was actually pretty damned good and only got one season.

  14. im obviously glad that neil is losing a lot of his influence now, as a survivor, as someone who does not want to see bad people do well. however, it is a bittersweet symphony when someone has created many things that you love; constantine, good omens, stardust, sandman, coraline.

    he was a staple for those who were a little dark and nerdy and felt othered. he has joined the likes of joss whedon in my “well, damn ya got me there” folder

  15. Not cancelled. Ending. It was decided there’s not enough of a story to make further seasons.

  16. Sure let’s play judge and jury before anything is even proven. So fucking sick of this moralistic dog and pony show and virtue signaling bullshit. If it gets proven he did something wrong then fine by all means cancel it if it makes you feel better, but we don’t know anything yet!

  18. Netflix only targets “new” subscribers so they only want new shows to put on billboards and drum up excitement

    They take for granted that by season 3 of the show you signed up for you’ve become dependable on the format and won’t cancel

    It’s like putting bait on a fishing hook. 

    Stranger Things is an example of a show that still gets billboards because kids who have turned 12 since the last season will get interested in a subscription.

    It’s all mathematical in a way that punishes loyal subscribers as lesser 

  20. It’s wild to me that the story can even extend into season 2 so, no complaints from me. Hope it’s a solid season.

  21. Netflix is losing a lot of their top franchises this year.

  22. good. Honestly thought it was garbage and not because of inclusiveness
