Incorporated and Alphas. I'm still really annoyed at Netflix for cancelling Altered Carbon and Shadow and Bone as well. They don't deserve my money if all they do is back out of finishing stories.
Can you imagine if they made a second season of altered carbon? After how good the one season was I’m sure it would have been great
Man fuck Netflix in general. The big one for me was The Society, which hit especially hard because they renewed it, and then cancelled it just says before they started shooting season 2. Sure "because COVID" or whatever, but heaps of other productions just hit pause, rather than cancelling outright something that had already received the green light. And because it was a show literally founded on its mystery. Its genre is literally "mystery drama", so not being able to reveal the mystery and satisfactorily pay off the clues is so much worse than any story where there isn't a mystery driving the story.
Also First Kill, a sapphic vampire romance drama/coming of age. And Lockwood & Co. which only really grabbed me near the end, but I found out about from others who were way more into and were very disappointed once it was cancelled.
At this point I don't even try starting a Netflix show unless it's already got a few seasons under its belt. And I know I'm not alone. Which undoubtedly just reinforces the problem.
