7 Netflix Shows That Were Cancelled Too Soon
3. Disjointed
Why It Was Cancelled: A comedy about a middle-aged woman who employs her son to help her run a cannabis dispensary, Netflix decided to put Disjointed on the chopping block after a single two-part season.
As is customary, the streaming service didn't provide a clear reason for this (they never release viewer numbers, either), but it's possible that the show's poor critical reception was a major factor in their decision.
Why It Deserved A Future: While critics hated Disjointed, audiences absolutely loved it: currently, the show sits at a 23% critic/82% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
It definitely isn't flawless, but with such a huge gap between critic and viewer opinion, Disjointed appears to have struck a chord with consumers. Those scores prove the audience was clearly present, and a second season could have refined the formula by fixing some of its weaker points (at 31 minutes, some episodes dragged on far too long, and the punchlines were frustratingly predictable at times).
One season sometimes isn't enough for a show to find its footing, especially one that's been designed for binge-watching. With critics generally left to watch every single episode in a short space of time (for review purposes), minor flaws become much more prominent. Disjointed is a fine example of this, and it could have flowered into something truly magnificent were it given more time to grow.
