Jupiter's Legacy in case anyone is curious what the show is.

I watched the whole thing. I’ve certainly seen worse from bigger studios.

If Jupiter's Legacy had gotten a second season, I would’ve watched it.

Damn they gave their dicks the original tomb raider treatment

I came to the conclusion that Netflix doesn’t understand marketing. The hit shows they had seem to be lucky finds and they think they can reproduce that by dumping money into a show and telling no one about it. Like fanboys will just watch whatever Daddy Netflix gives them.

Cowboy Bebop is a perfect example. They market it to die hard anime fans and no one else. Those fans hate it and it gets cancelled. The show wasn’t that bad and people like my dad would have loved it, had he ever heard about it.

That show sucked ass. I got through the first episode. I’m sure it worked better as a comic book. The villain was like, killing the superheroes left and right and then one of the heroes finally killed the villain (who had escaped prison or something) and then the papa hero got all pissy because “We don’t kill!” Just really stupid stuff

It was actually not a terrible show either, wife and I enjoyed it

This is what they spent the subscription increase on lol

Sounds like tax fraud or something

I find it funny how both Netflix and Amazon are just so good at burning money on mediocre shite nowadays. Amazon's studio output has always been throwing obscene money at any pitch or stupid idea, but once upon a time when Netflix promoted their own shows, you just knew they were going to be worth watching.

It'd be fine, if both companies hadn't ruined their products and laid off hundreds, if not thousands of people.

I watched it. It was a good looking show. And the origin story (which took over half the season I think) was well done. But where it really fell down is that none of the characters are likeable. At the end of the season I was kind of relieved it was over because I didn't care whether any of them lived or died.

I don't watch shows on Netflix any more until they come to a conclusion. They cancel shit so often that I can't know that whatever I choose to watch on there will wrap up and come to a satisfying end or not.

I didn't think it was that good anyway, but it boggles belief that they spent that much on one season of anything. 200 million is a ludicrous amount of money, and they just flushed it and went "oops lol, anyway, here's wonderwall".

I hope they didn't use that image in any of the marketing. It just looks like geriatric super heroes. Why would I want to watch that?

And yet people still pay for the shit. Because… social peer pressure? Addiction?

All I read is how people can’t afford shit, streaming is expensive, the content sucks, I can’t steal passwords anymore; yet people keep paying for this shit and their subscribership keeps increasing.

People need to vote with their wallets.

The show looked pretty stupid based on the thumbnail and trailer, and I avoided it for a long time. But I actually ended up really enjoying it. I thought it was a very good show.

Tax loss write-off?

I stongly feel there should be a rule for streaming platforms to make a satisfying season finale every time, because of the extremely high risk of cancellation every time they make something.
