The time between seasons is sometimes way too long, people move on eventually.

Also, they get new customers by advertising the hottest new show, not the seventh seasonest show.
i think that is normal? a season is supposed to be a good enough set of stories/episodes.
is there supposed to be more to expect?
It's a 50% drop. So 1/2 people watched season 1 and decided season 2 wasn't worth it. So the problem is specifically that they're not good enough stories/episodes.
yeah. i think that was the "normal" part of it. this always happens unless the original plot is long enough to get to another season
Often a series wrap up good in a season and I feel done with it. Like last of us and fallout, I just know season 2 will be worse. Then other times season 1 just sucks and I'm not interested in another for that reason.
I would love for more one and done seasons. Wrap it all up. What’s annoying to me is you get 3 seasons into something and they run out of ideas.
Worse, they run out of ideas after two seasons but keep going.
Or even worse, make one or two seasons and cancel on a cliffhanger
I don't have netflix but, I sometimes will use my parents or grandparents account if i'm visiting their house.
I never got into netflix series mostly due to what has been said here already. There's no point of investment into a series with a company that has an ongoing reputation of cancelling shows even if they go well, and the ones that do get another season can have multi-year delays between it.
It's the same issue that a lot of the lesser known Anime's have, They get greenlit for 1 or 2 seasons, and by the time they get greenlit for s3 all momentum for people wanting to watch it is dead.
To me I would rather just wait and invest my time into something that is actually going to go somewhere, not get pitfalled into a cliffhanger and then never know what happens.
