Netflix is quick to cancel shows, even when they’re doing well. It’s frustrating because these cancellations often aren’t about the show’s quality—they’re due to things like low viewer numbers, budget changes, or the company simply changing its mind. The worst part is that these are often shows with great writing, acting, and promising storylines that never got the chance to finish properly. This is a tribute to 11 Netflix series that deserved a better fate.

For the last seven years, Milla Jovovich’s films have consistently been met with harsh criticism, receiving largely negative reviews.

Terrence Howard originally played James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes in the first Iron Man movie in 2008, which launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, he didn’t reprise the role for Iron Man 2, and Don Cheadle took over as Rhodey.

According to FlixPatrol, the show High Potential is currently the most popular title on Hulu, topping both their list of Top 10 TV Shows and their overall Top 10 chart. Starring Kaitlin Olson from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the series is also performing well on Disney+, reappearing in the Top 10 charts in multiple countries after being renewed for another season.

Jacob Tierney, the showrunner for Heated Rivalry, recently shared an update on season 2 at the GLAAD Media Awards. This came after Netflix announced his new series, Alexander. Tierney stated he’s currently writing full-time and that season 2 of the hockey romance drama is still progressing as planned.

It wasn’t just a matter of grammar. In an interview with OutNow, Gyllenhaal revealed the exclamation point was meant to show the huge burst of energy when the Bride of Frankenstein, usually quiet, finally gets to speak. While that’s an interesting idea, most viewers see the exclamation point as a clear signal that the movie is going to be wild and over-the-top.

I’ve lived in London for eight years and recognize some of the filming locations, but the places shown aren’t really where I spend my time. I live in East London, an area that’s traditionally been working-class but is now known for its trendy vibe and diverse community. Luckily, I’m close to the Elizabeth Line, which quickly takes me to Paddington – and the wealthier, more central part of town where the show’s characters seem to live. (As the show itself keeps repeating!)

The main detective in these shows could be a professional police officer, similar to Harry Bosch, or an everyday amateur investigator like Miss Marple. Regardless, the story will always focus on the detective solving the crime, not on the person accused of committing it—even in unique and unusual crime shows like the popular Netflix series How To Get to Heaven from Belfast.

Unreliable narrators make stories incredibly engaging, and the TV show Vladimir is a prime example. Based on Julia May Jonas’s first novel, this Netflix erotic thriller centers on a woman—we’ll call her “M” or “the protagonist”—who is a professor at a small college.

Hideo Kojima shared on Twitter that he really enjoyed War Machine, describing it as a mix of Predator and Metal Gear. He called it a fun, geeky film that fans of the genre will likely love. He particularly praised Alan Ritchson’s performance, noting his strong presence in the role, and mentioned that Dennis Quaid also stars in the movie.
