This show was right up there with the John Oliver’s of this world. Very informative and sharp, it was universally appreciated. The host has well-liked for his wit and charm. Needless to say, fans were very upset. The neat and entertaining presentation of social issues was outstanding. The show had a lot more to offer. The room for growth was huge.

This cancellation was particularly painful. This is as the show was already renewed for a second season. The ostensible blame for the cancellation was left on the doors of COVID-19.

4Altered Carbon
Altered Carbon was a very ambitious Sci-Fi show. The concepts in it like, body-swapping, psychological modification, and others were very fascinating. The premise of the show was set three centuries in the future. The series tackled themes of gender, and race, among others.Sadly, it was canceled after only two seasons. Apparently, the decision was made after comparing the cost of renewal against the number of viewers. Nevertheless, fans were let down yet again, and a unique series like this was left unfinished. Sad.
5I Am Not Okay With This
Another show canceled after the first season! Ouch! This Sci-fi show bordered on the horror category in the last few episodes. The show was very intriguing and left fans anticipating the second season. Alas, there was no second. The show was canceled and fans were understandably outraged. Fans wanted to know where the show has headed next. All these cancellations caused a lot of heartbreak and disappointment to fans. Perhaps, Netflix should be more sensitive to the wants of their customers.
