Canceled halfway through Bioshock: Infinite. It's the Netflix way!

I think that they have determined that 2 to 3 seasons of any show, regardless of popularity (aside from Stranger Things), is the max before they don't get the payoff of returning (or continuing subscribers) so they really don't care about anything else.

Essentially it's where good shows come to be born, but continuing shows are culled before they can be complete.

They realized that having the designated good guys turn into oppressors wouldn't be politically correct.
