        Yea I think so. Season 1 is a nice complete story, so there’s no cliffhanger or other BS

        It’s nothing special. It likes to waste a lot of time recapping itself, and has 4 jokes that it will cycle through repeatedly, one of which is just that Hugh Jackman was in attendance during the murder, but the show didn’t actually get Jackman so it’s just a guy.

        You aren’t really able to solve the murder because they fail to properly foreshadow the “clue” who the murderer is.

        Too much tell instead of show

    My rule for a long time has been to not start any Netflix series until after it’s completely done, i feel significantly less disappointed this way.

      This is a very reasonable rule, but unfortunately I think it also impacts the metrics they use to make these decisions.

      I’ve been following this rule for about a good decade now. It doesn’t apply only to Netflix series.

      The are many series to watch; no point in starting to watch one without any guarantee that the series will keep consistent good ratings until the finale.

    I’ll never forgive Netflix for canceling Sens8 it was such a novel concept that could have gone on for at least 2 more seasons, yeah the orgies were awkward and I don’t quite remember the point of them but other than that it was a great show

      It was such a cool concept. The ending felt really forced, you could tell they had a bunch more story planned.

      It was also cool they always filmed on location, it was nice to watch. Some shows will be set somewhere, but the background is so obviously southern California it just takes you out of the plot. I’m sure it was expensive AF, but it showed in the quality of it.

    Why do they exclusively only cancel good shows (Mindhunter, Inside Job, now this) and keep up actual garbage?? I don’t think Netflix has made a wise business decision ever, the only reason they’re successful is because they were the first. They’re lucky Blockbuster didn’t buy them.

      Maybe garbage shows are cheaper to produce, or get better viewers-per-dollar-spent measurements?

      I’ve read that they cancel most shows after two seasons because season 3 is usually when the cast renegotiates their salary and they’re too cheap to pay them what their worth.

    It seemed like a miniseries to me. Who’s expecting a second season when the mystery in the titular residence is solved at the end of the first?

      Yeah that’s what I thought as well. I guess I wouldn’t have minded seeing them do another mystery with one more season, but the concept has potential to get tired pretty quick

    Haven’t heard about the show but I honestly can’t stand shows about “The White House” anymore. Just ignoring the current fascist politics is unforgivable, so is showing the previous US regime as “the good old days”, but even any attempt to address it but still make it entertaining is distasteful too. It’s just propaganda one way or another.
