Because of what appears to be their ‘fail fast and try out a lot of different things’ approach, a whole mess of shows get greenlit but few stand the test of time to be granted season after season. Unless you’re Riverdale, for some reason.

Whether we’re talking sci-fi romps, coming-of-age comedies, musical dramas, or deep German period mysteries, no creators or genres are safe from Netflix pulling the trigger on a cancellation. In some cases we weren’t surprised or even upset to see them go, but each of the shows on this list had a loyal fanbase who would have loved to see a second season.
