Shame. I wonder what the logic behind this sort of stuff is from Netflix. They don't seem to put value any sort of 'back catalogue' of complete content. I would think people wouldnt want to pick up half finished abandoned shows but maybe I'm nieve and in reality it doesn't impact numbers that much to just cancel the whenever. It certainly isn't good PR at least.
It's something to do with writer contracts and benefits IIRC. If a show goes on longer than a certain amount of time they have to pay normal union rates, so the only shows they keep on are either ones that are overwhelmingly popular or where there's clearly some sort of nepotism going on with the executives keeping their buddies' shows going or something.
I liked Another Life enough to down load the second season but not enough to have bothered watching it yet. It seemed like it was going some where interesting, I guess not?
I personally couldn't stand it, especially the implausibly bad science in the science fiction and the serial assholishness and sometimes random heel-turns in the personalities of the characters. Between those two problems there wasn't anything left to make me keep watching.

Just don't tell them that anywhere in your UI. :think-about-it:

"Another Life" was a garbage fire and it went on way too long and less people liked it.

Guess that will just gather digital dust on the hard drive till I get super bored then.
I mean, if you enjoyed the first season, I don't actually know how the second season was. I was too baffled by it getting any renewal at all.
