Some of their content decisions are pathological from a viewer's standpoint.

Attack on Titan: 96% fresh on RT, and … they only get the first season? Like, why build your viewer up with a good show and not be able to finish the story?

One Punch Man: 86% fresh on RT. Only the first season.

SG:SG1, great show, but if you want to round it out w/ SG:U or Atlantis? No can do.

Inuyasha, (100%/93% on RT) … only the first 2 of 7 seasons.

It's even worse than that. You can't access the English subtitles in some countries! I was watching in France and after reaching out to support they told me that their license didn't cover English subtitles lmao. And people wonder why handsomely paid people pirate stuff...


that is not unique to Netflix, and it probably has to do with pre-existing licensing rights.

For example, Primevideo in my country has 5 seasons of Inuyasha but not 6 and 7, can you imagine the frustration? :)

Likewise, my kids like to watch Paw Patrol, and amazon only has season 4, but not the first 3.


> can you imagine the frustration?

That's on you for using primevideo in the first place! Jokes aside, I hate that platform ever since it decided it was normal to play a show, that I was excited about, starting with the last episode. It ended up ruining the entire thing.


On the flipside when Manifest was canceled by NBC before its planned storyline could be completed, Netflix picked it up and has planned more than enough episodes to reach the end.
