Television
Well great, I can remove that from my list of things to watch.
That sucks. It was worth the watch and better than most trash on streaming.
Wow, I heard it was decent and was going to try it out. Now, why even bother? WTF Netflix, this shit JUST came out. WTF are you even doing?
Big number was not big enough so it was cancelled
When I'm deciding on a show to watch, I am far more likely to choose a show that has 3 seasons or more, because, like, why get invested in characters and their arcs, just to have them disappear before they complete their journey? Netflix is so short sighted with this. There's so much to watch these days, you don't have to re-watch anything, you can find original, quality shows to watch endlessly. And with that in mind, it means that while we may not pay attention to a show that just came out, that doesn't mean I won't revisit that same show after a few years and a few more seasons.
If a show is good enough to make, and you believe in it, then let your creators make more.
Shows these days don't need to be watched immediately to have an impact, and it's in the later years of a show, when you hold the streaming rights, that it brings in money. It's not even that their counting their chickens before they hatch, it's like they're counting their chickens, before the hen has even finished laying the eggs, and preemptively slaughtering the hen because it didn't lay enough eggs quick enough. Putting bean-counters, propped up by AI-fueled investment calculators, in charge of programming will only ever result in continued disappointment. To their bottom-line and to the art produced.
Well said. After hearing stories similar to this, I have avoided Netflix originals due to fear of show being canceled and ending on cliffhanger leaving many unanswered questions. It would bother me too much, better to not have seen it at all if there has not been a conclusion.
I was looking forward to Kaos but hadn't gotten round to watching it yet. I guess I'll just not bother...
Not enough big magic god special effects was a complaint. Like fuck, I'd rather have solid storytelling and good characters - which Kaos had.
And the thing was I was putting off watching it until I heard about a second season. I don't like to get into new shows anymore unless I know they're going to last, especially when there's so much to watch already. I just finished it the other day and then I see this, breaking the forth wall for some greek god style irony.
For real? This was legitimately well done. I guess Netflix really can't afford any big names these days.
I really like Kaos and this is a bummer. Really goes to show that I shouldn't get into any Netflix series until it's all finished. Guess that one's on me for thinking they wouldn't cancel a well received show like this again...
I don't Have any movie subscription services, but watched Kaos after finding it randomly on a Chinese website
Ii was pretty good! except wierd Netflix kirks like adding unprompted sex scenes and making everyone gay. I remember being surprised how good writing was, but then i figured somebody had a couple of millenia to write a story, Netflix "adapted" it
I didn't think it needed a second season, unlike another comment below which says it ends on a cliffhanger. I d recommend it to watch even with one season
Making "everyone" gay? I can only think of two characters (Theseus and Prometheus), one of which was a very clever adaptation of the myths.
Fellas is Greek myth gay? (spoiler: very)
The 3 Fates too
When were they shown to be gay? I understood them to be gender fluid, which is something different.
There was that “pay with sex” scene for doing Dionysius a favor
I don't remember exactly what you mean, but very possible I missed it/forgot. Is this about the barkeeper?
Though I guess whether it's gay or not depends on how the gender fluid person felt at the time? Not sure how that works. Life is full of mysteries...
Maybe it was the bartender - I don’t remember that specifically. Even if I got the details wrong, my point was there were multiple scenes of gay sex.
It was an interesting contrast where the Prometheus scenes is relationship background for why he cares about humans, whereas Dionysus is just sort of there for anything, seemed very casual
I only remember the Prometheus scene, but very likely I'm forgetting something.
Fully agree on Prometheus and Dionysus. It was great how Dio kept showing empathy while searching for his purpose, and how the conflict with Zeus ignited a spark in him - he for sure would have played an important role in further plans by Prometheus. Bummer we won't get to see it play out!
Well that's a bummer.... I just finished watching Season 1 a couple of days ago, and was looking forward to seeing where they were going to go with the next one
This reminds me once again to be extra cautious of watching any Netfilx show unless it already has a couple of seasons under its belt...
......not that it worked for The OA. Fuck Netflix
