StillPaisleyCat , 8 months ago Actually there’s both metric evidence and statements by senior Netflix executives that a show has to do well in the first few weeks to be renewed. They’re also very committed to their drop it all at once, or at most in 2 parts per season. So it creates an environment where shows are rarely renewed unless they are top of the streaming charts. They may have a different decision criteria for kid and family shows though.
