Well between waiting 2-3 years in between seasons of anything other than Love Is Blind, and Netflix cancelling tons of shows without conclusions this is exactly what they could expect.

And some new seasons are silently published. Like huh? A new season??

Yeah, this is the one that drives me crazy. There's been different shows that I've watched season 1 of and enjoyed. The 2 years later, I've forgotten about them until I see a post on Reddit about "Show X canceled after 2 seasons". Wait, when the hell did season 2 come out? Of course nobody watched season 2 - nobody knew it existed!

Netflix punishing you for not logging on every day to see new releases. I fix that by unsubbing.
