I know that personally my viewing habits are affected by what I call the “burn me twice” syndrome. One thing that drives me crazy is watching a series I particularly enjoy only to see it end on a cliffhanger followed by a non renewal. Max in particular is guilty of this which is a large part of the reason I no longer subscribe. It is probably a reflection of my niche viewing habits but I swear that the more I like something the more likely it is to be cancelled without any kind of satisfactory resolution.
As a result I am unlikely to start anything new long form with less than TWO seasons in the can. It is just not worth it to me to invest in a show that just disappears without any kind of ending. One satisfying counter is that I watch a lot of so called “limited” series that at least address the problem of storylines that lead to nowhere.
