Netflix Cancels Another Hit. Loved by Viewers and Critics: One of the Best Shows of the Year

Another Netflix series has come to an end. Despite being loved by both viewers and critics, the series will not get a second season. The adventures of young detectives working to solve mysteries in the kingdom of the dead have ended after just eight episodes.

Netflix’s strict policy towards series continues. The streaming platform often cancels shows after the first season if they don't meet viewership requirements. Recently, it was announced that series like Ratched, about the early career of Mildred Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest at a psychiatric hospital, won’t be getting a continuation. The same fate befell the show The Brothers Sun, which was also well-received by both critics and viewers.
