    The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I was in awe with this show. Had waited years for it and was not disappointed! I loved the story and the set pieces were absolutely gorgeous. You could tell a lot of love and care was put into it. I was hoping they’d go all the way with this show and that it would end naturally as a full prequel story to The Dark Crystal.

    But no. Netflix pulled the plug on Age of Resistance after the first season because it was too expensive. It still stings to this day.

      Netflix pulls the plug on so much shit that I refuse to get invested in their shows until I know they’ve got a satisfying conclusion. If they could commit to not having perpetual cliffhangers until unceremoniously cancelling stories I might take the plunge but they won’t so I won’t.

      Took me a few seasons to figure out that every season was the same. “I think we’ve found a place to settle down, but there might be a problem…”.

      I stopped watching when they introduced horrible CGI and fake gun effects (no knock back, no shell ejection, no slide movement).

      I’d argue the first few seasons - apart from the horrible acting from time to time, and prolonged passages just to stretch time, and filler episodes, and dumb people, and…

      Yeah, it was shitty from the beginning.

      I don’t understand why Netflix doesn’t just make movies instead of TV shows.

      Or make short series instead of multi-season.

      They are good at making great first season TV but then if it doesn’t get their magic number they cancel it and leave their customers hanging.

      Just make the one season as an open and closed thing and call it that so no one gets their expectations up.

      If it becomes some awesome hit thing, make an actual series as an offshoot / spinoff type thing.

        Netflix only cares about new subs. New IPs drive new subs. New seasons of old IPs are money spent on people who are already customers. They make one season of a show you’ve been waiting for, you sign up, you watch that season, they cancel the show, statistically speaking you probably don’t cancel your subscription and then they redirect that money to running the same game on someone else.

        I really don’t understand their business model tbh.

        It seems like it’s just “burn as much money as fast as possible”.

        Literally one of favourite TV shows ever, and just two seasons*. So many good feelings and great characters. Awesome actors and some of Douglas Adams’s best books ever?

        Netflix fucking sucks man.

      It wasn’t as good as the book but man the setting and atmosphere were so good. And shadow moon is such a cool protagonist.

    This appeals to Hongkongers only, but I miss 頭條新聞 (News Headlines) (I made up this translation)

    Despite its name, this was a sarcastic show aired on RTHK, an official government channel. It talks about a lot of events, poor decisions and wrong-doings of the government in a funny way. Unfortunately it was shut down in 2020, by the government.

    Our democracy and freedom have been declining since then.

    Here’s a playlist of them archived

    Stargate Universe. It was Stargate meets Battlestar Galactica and I loved it. It wasn’t without its issues, but I felt it was really finding it’s feet. Then it ends on a cliffhanger after 2 seasons

      Controversial opinion here, but I think it was the best Stargate. The mystery they were building was so captivating. Really sad it was cancelled.
