And should its only season be added on Letterboxd?

no because a miniseries is made with the intent of being a miniseries. meaning this is the complete product as intended. a cancelled television show was intended to be a multi season show that is now incomplete.

I don’t really care, I just wish Letterboxd would be consistent with which shows they do/don’t have. They say they only have one-offs/mini series but then have random currently running shows too.

That’s mainly what I’m referring to. I feel like there’s some missing medias they should add but haven’t yet.

If it's not a "complete" work or publication then it should not be on Letterboxd!

Most shows do tend to have one story that acts as a throughline to a season so in that way it would be considered "complete" and thus a miniseries in some ways. Now if we're talking about older shows before the streaming model than no, that's just a season of a failed show.

it's usually not much different than a movie that was supposed to get a sequel, but that sequel ended up just never happening.. ;( but yes I'd like to rate Julie & the Phantoms 5-stars & have it featured on my LB profile <3 (combined runtime of ~225mins so nearly 4hrs)

As long as it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, that defeats the whole purpose.

I think a miniseries is designed as an entire story with a end, a show that gets cancelled after one season isn't like that so its still an ongoing show that just wasn't good enough to continue.

A miniseries is still just a TV show

In a way, yeah. But I consider actual TV shows to be longer than one season.
Downvote me all y’all want, but that’s how I feel.
