I wish they'd stop canceling shows immediately if they don't have 90 billion people watching in the 1st week. Yeah I didn't have time to get to your time traveling boat show (1899 I think it was called) the week you launched it, then I heard it got good reviews and then got shut down, so I never bothered watching because it was an aborted storyline. So many promising shows that maybe wouldn't have been great but could've been at least worth watching axed after the 1st season or even half season.

Now they've got a rep for canceling everything-- how is that supposed to attract more customers?

They should do what kids cartoon networks have been doing for decades - run a new show for exactly three seasons, no more, no less. Be really upfront with creators that they're going to get three seasons of ten episodes each. Do that for five years and viewers will come back because they'll know shows will actually end. After that, they can start being more choosey about what they renew, but they need consumer confidence back first.

If you want something similar and haven't yet, Dark is pretty good. Has at least one of the same actors, too.

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

That boat show, made by the same people who made Dark, was pretty good. Think like LOTR's first movie - it does wrap up, even if it had also meant to go onwards (and in this case did not).

If the concept intrigues you, do watch 1899. It stops on a cliffhanger but reveals enough to be worth your time. Shame it got cancelled.

"Just one question, can I make a Netflix show? I don't know how to write or direct"

"Already got you signed up for 3 seasons"

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 year ago

Lol Netflix allowing a third season? impossible

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

It'll be cancelled, don't worry.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They are waiting for rave reviews before they pull the plug. It's more pleasurable that way for them.

Look at The Witcher, or stranger things. If you're really good they'll sign you for 3 seasons. Just know that at season 3 they'll immediately retool it and destroy it.

[-] sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Didn't specify if it was the same show. Could be 3 first seasons.

[-] JimboDHimbo@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago

They are guaranteed to cancel 3 Body Problem. I shouldn't even get my hopes up. At least I'm not paying the shit sandwich creator monthly.

[-] LittleBorat2@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I read the book half like any book I read. Could be a promising show.

[-] Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Well then at least you can read the books to know how it ends.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

I haven't seen it and I won't (D&D hurt me so) but I doubt they will cancel it anytime soon. The reviews are good and, I guess, the Chinese viewers like it. I think Netflix will make as many seasons as possible for international appeal.

Has anyone else noticed a huge drop in quality with anything made after the start of covid? The dialogue is awful and everything is so choppy. It's like movies now are written by AI trained on bad fanfics gluing together a bunch of tiktoks. I'm not fancy. I like cheap, tacky crap, but most movies and TV from the last couple years have been unwatchable.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

3 Body Problem is actually fantastic

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

binged 7/8 episodes last night. GF was not happy

[-] ours@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I hate how they've compressed so many things and rushed past the WTF mystery that is most of the first book.

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I'm trying to read the book, but it's just so weird. I haven't had that much trouble reading something since a clockwork orange.

[-] drasglaf@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I loved the first book, but I couldn't finish the second one.

[-] numberfour002@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

My kids got me one of them Netflix accounts for the year as a Christmas gift that site is so full of smuts I cannot believe but we did watch a movie on there we both like back in Febraurary it was the one with that blonde woman from the show we used to watch back 20 years ago and she was solving a crime but couldn't do it on her own so this baby child help her see visions with a donkey and they end up figuring out it was that Barry guy. Anyway we much prefer Disney but don't tell the kids.

That period came so late, I was already scheduling a visit with the OB/GYN.

[-] JimboDHimbo@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

You got one tear out of me from laughter.

[-] LittleBorat2@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

The gentleman was pretty delicious though I have to say.
