Title: Critically Acclaimed Shows Axed: Why These Netflix Originals Didn’t Get a Second Season
Netflix has had its fair share of hit shows and controversies. While some series have garnered immense success, others have surprisingly been cancelled despite their critical acclaim. In an unexpected twist, the streaming giant has just renewed Meghan Markle’s new podcast-style show “With Love” despite receiving poor reviews. This got us thinking – what other critically acclaimed Netflix original shows were axed without a second season?
Let’s take a look at some of these underwhelming decisions:
**The Innocents (2018)**
This British drama, set in the 1920s, received widespread critical acclaim for its unique storytelling and captivating performances. Despite an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%, Netflix decided to cancel it after just one season.
**Dark/NetFlix Series**
A German dark fantasy thriller that gained international attention with a 81% approval rating on RT. Unfortunately, the streaming giant opted not to continue the series beyond its first chapter.
**Hollywood (2020)**
Ryan Murphy’s ambitious period drama saw an impressive 83% Rotten Tomatoes score for its ambitious storytelling and strong performances. Despite these glowing reviews, Netflix ultimately decided against giving it a second chance.
**Trinkets (2019)**
A dark teen drama based on the Norwegian novel of the same name, Trinkets gained widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. Unfortunately, the show did not receive the green light for another season after its first outing.
Is there something we’re missing? Are these axing decisions a result of behind-the-scenes drama or shifting viewer trends? Perhaps Netflix will surprise us with an unexpected revival of one of these underappreciated gems.
