Netflix has canceled ‘Kaos’ after one season.
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.
When were they shown to be gay? I understood them to be gender fluid, which is something different.
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
What the fuck…
It was pretty popular and ended on a giant cliffhanger.
I dont get why streaming services sink so much money on these huge shows that they own, then cancel a month after they first air.
They need to start committing to entire arcs, give it 2 to 3 seasons with a good ending and it’s a show only that service will have forever.
Now even if new people watch the only season, they’ll get to the cliffhanger, find out it’s cancelled, and be less likely to try the next new Netflix show as soon as it comes out, which is a death spiral because more shows will get cancelled this fast.
They’re obsessed with short term profits because that’s what stockholders want, but that doesn’t make the content consumers work, so they have to keep raising prices so the stock always increases until one day it just dies.
I think they’ve created this weird feedback loop for themselves too, where people are hesitant to start a new Netflix show because they don’t want to watch one season, get invested and then get left on a cliffhanger (as is the case here), which is causing them to cancel things early because not enough people are watching immediately and so on.
TBH if they’d just show a bit more trust and invest in the talent they hire, and give new shows a couple of seasons to find their feet and establish themselves it’d help them tremendously in the long term I think, but they don’t seem to be big on long term thinking.
My wife and I are halfway through the season, now series. Should I even bother watching the back half?
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.
