On: What We Watched: A Netflix engagement report

[Popeyes]

Crazy to see The Witcher Season 2 (renewed), Sandman (renewed) and 1899 (cancelled) so closely grouped.

[Cyph0n → Popeyes]

The cancellation of 1899 was the last straw for me.

Exactly what I downloaded the report to look for -

For Jan-Jun 2023, it was 278th most viewed on the platform with 51,800,000 hours of view. It was released in 2022-11-17.

It just makes me wonder what sort of views it would have had to get to get continued for another season.

Definitely a shame - it was a fun show.

Give "Dark" a watch.

I was fairly disappointed in 1899, after coming from Dark (same creators). Dark was incredibly dense, by comparison. Dark is easily my top show on Netflix, so far.

Concur regarding Dark - it's kind of amazing that Netflix can, when it wishes to, produce "HBO Caliber" content - but so much of the time it's just time-filler drek.

I don't regret a single minute of the time I spent watching Dark 3-4 years ago, nor the time I spent in the office discussing it, or even the time I tried to graph it all (with varying degrees of success)...

Netflix greenlights the projects and provides the money but it doesn't really produce the shows.

They even cancelled Shadow and Bone.

S2 is at position 32 with 192M hours viewed.

A spinoff for the Crows was even in the works, which was also canceled.
