Another Netflix Original has been cancelled following on from “Marco Polo”, “Bloodline”, “The Get Down” with “Sense8” now receiving it’s marching orders after just 2 seasons. While this may come as a bit of a shock for some, for others it could be a blessing in disguise. No one likes to have a friend hang around too long after the party and it’s the same with TV shows too. Without definitive endings, some TV series just lose the plot and wither away into obscurity. At least “Sense8” can end on a high note.
Reed hastings, CEO, said recently:
“Our hit ratio is way too high right now,” Hastings said. “So, we’ve canceled very few shows … I’m always pushing the content team: We have to take more risk; you have to try more crazy things. Because we should have a higher cancel rate overall.”

There was a seriously interesting plot in that show that unfortunately was ignored 90% of the time
How on earth is it leaving on a “high note” if it ended on a massive cliffhanger? Please with the justifications. This just teaches creators and executives that representation doesn’t matter.
I meant in the sense that it hasn’t dwindled into obscurity. It’s a seemingly popular series and not one that people have started hating because it gradually got worse and worse. I.e. it’s currently at a ‘high note’.

Well, this is rubbish news. *sigh*
This is a great show.
Netflix’s CEO reason for canceling shows makes no sense. It’s like he’s saying we have too many hits and not enough flops.
No surprise. The 1st series was far superior to the 2nd. All they did in the 2nd series was throw in a lot of sex scenes to try and attract viewers. The 2nd series was a real bore and I stopped watching it after episode 4.
Idiot.
What an odd reply, based on nothing. It’s an odd human being that simply posts an ungrounded insult. Quite pathetic Mr Smalley.
Best show on Netflix! Ended on an unresolved cliffhanger…fucking cunts
Whit?! And Marco Polo was also dos
That’s disappointing
Boooo…
What!?!? After THAT cliffhanger? Dammit at least make a movie to close the story or something!
S1 was average, although picked up towards the end. Only made it half way through the xmas special.… https://t.co/jUQHyWXqkL
Second series was great

That is lame. This may have had a very high production cost, but it was some of the most open-minded and emotionally evocative story-telling “television” around right now. I am a straight, White, male, and I was drawn into the lives and struggles of every single one of the characters.

Sherrie Higgins is this the show you were talking about?
Yes I am raging !! It’s SUCH a good show I don’t understand this
Dammit! I guess Netflix just doesn’t approve of equal opportunities mind expanding film making.
I enjoyed the first season, but the Christmas ‘special’ bored me so much I haven’t started watching season two yet. Now that it’s been cancelled, and after reading Richard Bijster’s earlier comment, I may not bother.
Ah, that’s disappointing. Season 2 was brilliant.
Wtf?! Kelly June Marie Simpson
Make some space for Dredd

No point in watching any new Netflix series as you can’t trust them to keep them going…..overcommitted their budget it would appear.
Crap show – Netflix has been putting so much rubbish out there of late – needs to be more choice full!

No!!!!
Assholes one of best things on Netflix could at least have finished on an ending.
Callum Emmett Smith may aswell not bother watching 2nd season
Thank you Netflix, Trash!!
Good!!

First season was interesting following episodes went downhill. Same for Marco polo. As for bloodline and the get down. I had no desire to watch them.
Sense8 Cancel ===> Netflix SUBSCRIPTION CANCEL !!!!!!!!
What! I was looking forward to the next one, wanted so much for Wolfgang to get together with the Indian lady. I THINK that their ought to be another one and use it to end the program, oh how I hate to watch things and then it gets taken off.
