Isn’t the problem with Netflix that nobody can count on a second season no matter how well the first season does? So many good shows have been cancelled after the first season because Netflix doesn’t collect data correctly. And it’s now a self-repeating cycle:
everybody knows Netflix will cancel great shows
people choose not get invested in shows
shows don’t do as well as they could
Netflix cancels the show
rinse, repeat
I didn’t notice I was doing it too until an article popped up (Forbes wasn’t the first) and it clicked: I wait for at least 2 seasons and an announcement of a third before watching a Netflix series, otherwise it’s just a waste of time. Evidently, others do it too.

Shows need to be greenlit and funded for at least three seasons after the decision is made to film it in my opinion.
Just trying out one seasons to see if it sticks is not the way to go.
