According to Google as of April 18, 2020, Netflix has 165 TV shows. Assuming this number are Originals or series they have commissioned to be continued like Black Mirror and doesn’t include TV series they have licensed from others like Star Trek.
I’m more of a movie person — hence the name of our site — but enjoy watching a great TV show from time to time (will never tire rewatching The Twilight Zone!), because they have the ability to extend that entertainment experience much longer than a couple hours.

Back in 2017, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings made the surprising statement that, “Our hit ratio is too high right now. I’m almost pushing the content team, ‘We have to take more risk, you have to try more crazy things,’ because we should have a higher cancel rate overall.”

How many of these 10 cancelled Netflix TV shows have you seen? Recommended or not?
Only OITNB but I stopped after a while because like many shows that overstay their welcome, it became ridiculous.

Good point. Once shows start recycling stories and running characters through repeating arcs, it’s time to shut it down.

Mindhunter’s cancelled?! Say it isn’t so! I love this series. Fincher’s involvement so clearly shows in its Zodiac vibes.
And Sense8 is too insanely creative to be missed. Incidentally, I’m working on a Netflix recommendations post. Both shows made the list! 🙂
