The bedrock of Netflix was eight-season shows like The Office.

They have a firehose of money for new stuff.

But for some goddamn reason, they are incapable of producing a long-running series. Can’t even give the creators a pass/fail goal, or offer some smaller budget as a take-it-or-leave-it decision.

(Which is also why creators who still try broadcast-era cliffhanger endings can get fucked.)
