You stupid fucks are confusing successful for “show I like” Why the fuck would Netflix cancel shows that make money? Nah Teds probably right. They probably only canceled shows that lose or aren’t making enough money. And that’s how they measure success

This may be literally true, but a detail missing is that Netflix clearly throws too much money, and thus expectations, at a show that is just not likely to meet it. It was obvious that Cowboy Bebop, and Resident Evil were doomed to be cancelled when they released. They were too high-budget, too risky and even a relatively positive reception wasn't likely to translate to enough watchers.

They set shows up to fail too often by doing this.

Cowboy Bebop had positive reception someplace?

No, but I meant even if it did, it was unlikely to gain enough watchers.

I knew a few people who liked it but not a single one ever heard of the anime.
