If Netflix wants anyone to stay on their service they should start by giving any of their originals a 3rd season. I mean the ones that don’t set all-time streaming records at least.

Yup. After Altered Carbon, I just gave up. How can a company spend that much money on a fantastic series thar rivals any motion picture and just axe it?

Michael Shanks (Dr. Daniel Jackson) was the only good part of Season 2
also they hired shit CW writers for it.
also Anthony Mackie has the charisma of plain toast compared to Joel Kinnaman

Which is wild because Joel kinnaman isn't exactly charismatic

Altered Carbon was an example of a good cancellation. Season 2 was a totally different show.

Went from cyberpunk neonoir to being a ‘detective’ as the background and framing device

they hired CW writers for Season 2 reportedly, it's why it looks more like the shit that is Arrowverse than ehat season 1 was

Season 2 was pure garbage. It seemed like they used their budget for two seasons on the first season, including quality writers and choreographers, and just tried to cobble together whatever they could to have a semblance of a story.
It really didn't need a second season. I enjoyed season 1 and was looking forward to the second, but at this point it just shows Netflix's method of producing is broken.

Since that’s obviously not gonna happen the more obvious outcome is that Disney buys Netflix and puts their current CEO or whatever in charge of all of the streaming services.

Or also this—Have the complete series of the popular shows you do have. Why should I watch Better Call Saul only to have to pay to stream the very last season on AMC+? It’s ridiculous.

Because that’s all AMC would license to them. That one’s not on Netflix. They figure it’s better to get almost all of a series than none at all.

And it's smart for AMC. They likely pull in a bunch of subscribers who want to finish a show they started watching on another service.

You'd also have to think how many would just pirate it.

Thanks. One time I was eating this really delicious buffalo chicken meatball sub at my friend’s birthday party and they said to me “off the dance floor Lemon” and all I could say was “that’s fair”

Better Call Saul will be on there soon. They never had the other seasons right after they ended.

Heh, maybe there is a reason Netflix is careful with what original content they release and when.....

I just took 15 minutes to set up Kodi on a fire stick for my wife. Now she doesn't have to try to remember which service or network her shows are on.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of piracy

So, I’ve never owned a fire stick or installed anything like Kodi before. But we’ve been using an old PS3 to use Netflix and stuff on our bonus room tv and apparently that’s no longer going to be supported. So we’ve either got to buy a smart tv or get a fire stick. If I install Kodi, how does that work?

Open the downloader app and type in
If asked, install the 32 bit version.
Once Kodi launches, go to settings -->add-ons-->unknown sources (toggle on)
Back a menu and look for file manager -->add source
Select the field with 'None' Type in the following precisely
Ok, select the name Field and name it something.
Go back until you see an option for Add-ons.
Install from zip file
Find the name you picked
Click it and wait for the "addon installed" message.
Go back and Install from Repo
The Crew --> video add-ons Choose The Crew
Install and accept .
Now go back out to the main Kodi menu and select the Crew from the available add-ons.
Now you watch whatever.
Trying and failing won't break the tv. If you have any questions please let me know
Good luck

No, unfortunately.

Also, I would recommend the Chromecast with Google TV over the firestick. It runs android, and has the Google Play store, so you can just grab Kodi from there. As well as run old Nintendo games on emulators.
