      Not sure about Emily in Paris, but 365 days is produced by a foriegn production company and Netflix just have distrubution rights. It’s also a movie, so it’s a terrible comparison financially speaking. Even if they did produce 365, it’s way cheaper to make one Netflix movie then a whole Netflix series of multiple episodes. And the 365 days movies are far cheaper to buy distribution rights to in comparison to producing a season of a series. And every new movie brings a surge of interest to the service. That’s also why they have so many foriegn series and movies in Netflix, cheap licensing contracts compared to some of the american stuff.
      Addendum, just checked. Emily in Paris is a product of Viacom CBS who is backing production cost…and hate it or love it has enough of an audience worth continued licensing and Netflix isn’t footing the full production bill.
      Unfortunately, Netflix doesn’t have the unlimited pockets it use to for taking risk. I honestly think they should just produce new series WITH AN ENDING. Worse that happens is the show is popular and gets a second season but if it doesn’t, fans aren’t left hanging. The cliff hanging hook is failing more series then it’s helping.

    • @fallenwarlock2418
      @fallenwarlock2418 Рік тому +13

      Mostly it’s due to completion rates. People will hate watch Tall Girl and Kissing Booth (and younger teens will mostly eat this movies) while Netflix releases the whole season of its shows at once and not everyone will binge watch them. If people don’t watch the whole season fast, Netflix thinks the show isn’t good enough and cancels it. We got to know why Everything Sucks and First Kill were cancelled and both were due to completion rates. I remember reading that someone big from Netflix really liked Everything Sucks but almost no one bothered to finish even the first episode, so it wasn’t worth spending money on a second season because the public interested was too small and there was no signs of a possible new and bigger public for season two. I am not okay with this and the society were cancelled due to COVID but they never said the specific reason, why not just hold the shows until the lockdown was over? (Maybe they couldn’t hold the cast’s contracts?)

    Sad part is that they keep cancelling these shows because of lower viewership but a lot of times i don't even know about the show before it gets cancelled. I'm sure i'm not the only one and so it feels like a lot of shows are getting cancelled before they had a chance to really grab their full audience. Just wish they'd make more shows with a clear ending plan and stuck to it, just one or 2 season of story, for it to then be something we can go back to in the future and have a good full watch of. So many shows end up not being finished and totally useless for future watching. Total waste of talent and manpower.

    How do they decided to cancel another amazing project by someone behind three of their most successful shows? This series had some amazing potential, especially as it was marketable to both fans of previous Flanagan work and young adults/teens, and between cancelling all of their most promising shows and the new account sharing rules it's starting to seem like Netflix is actively trying to destroy its own platform.

    • @Guineapigsreadingbooks
      @Guineapigsreadingbooks Рік тому +23

      They probably would have had to pay the writers and actors more in the second season because of the success of the first one, and because they don’t want to pay for anything they instead decided to kill the show, contributing to how they are slowly killing themselves. If you see the shows they keep, those are ones that obviously don’t need very qualified writers and show runners (see Riverdale, Kissing Booth, etc), but are still hate watched, or just left on as mindless entertainment. Because the people making it aren’t that great, they don’t need to pay them properly, and because of the people watching it ironically, they still make money. I believe that that is also why many fanfics are being picked up, because they can probably get the rights easier and still make the writer‘s carrier because they might not have a chance to see their fanfic made into a movie otherwise and pocket change for Netflix is a crazy amount of money for the writer.
      It sort of feels like the beginning of Fahrenheit 451, the shows that make us think and feel things, with talent behind them are being replaced with trashy mindless things.

I resonated with her very much in the first season, as I have dealt with suicidal ideation for a long time but am now diagnosed with a disabling condition, which feels like the world giving me a sign that I am meant to leave. I would’ve loved to see her thoughts and emotions when she is soon to pass; she realizes how lucky she was to survive her attempt, so for her to be brought right back to the edge of death and come to terms with that, knowing she wouldn’t be so lucky this time, would’ve really hit home and surely be emotional. Also, I really wish we got to see more of Ilonka and Kevin. The whole first season we watch them grow close, so close they feel as if they already knew each other, and I would’ve really loved to see how their relationship evolves yet follows the pattern of their previous lives with them now being romantically involved.
