Sense8 cancelled. The salt begins. - LGBT oriented show shot down by Netflix

[Dysnomia]

I don't think so. I think it has more to do with the fact that Netflix, as a subscription-only service, has a lot more accurate data about their viewership than broadcast and cable ever can. Netflix knows when someone watches a show for the first time, rewatches it, binges a whole season, skips episodes, etc. and they know exactly who is doing it. They don't have to rely on statistical sampling or self-reported ratings or advertiser reaction to figure out whether a show is worth making... they just look at their internal analytics.

If anything, these shows being cancelled prematurely is yet another example of how SJWs always behave: screech and screech about representation in media, then never bother to actually buy the product they asked for.

It's all their fault then. If you aren't going to watch the show you are screeching about then don't expect it to stick around for another season. Pirating probably played a role too. Just stop being a cheapo and pay for Netflix. If you want diversity so much then you have to support it yourself. Don't get mad at people for not watching something they aren't into while you pirate episodes and don't help support the show in any monetary way.

Saw 3 episodes and dropped it. Just like most of their original series they aren't very good. Why haven't they dropped the other trash though?

Naturally it's because of hate, white people, and transmysogyny, and not because it cost 9 million dollars an episode (Game of Thrones episodes usually cost 6mil), and had low viewership

I tried to search "sense8" with google images and I only saw group shots a la '90s sitcom. Nothing fancy, nothing "sci-fi" (maybe a woman was casting fire in a picture? But that's the extent I found about it) as the wikipedia description calls it

How can it possibly require more money per episode than GoT? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think "money shots" would be pretty high in screenshots found in google images (like if you search for "Game of Thrones" images, for instance)

Edit: all of this because I basically know nothing about this show, aside from the fact that apparently it's lgbt friendly

International filming. Sense8 flew the entire cast to several countries; Kenya, India, Iceland, Germany etc.

I see. I hope this will be a lesson for Netflix: don't blow money in stuff that doesn't directly translate in more stuff on the screen, like CGI (I've heard that it's becoming quite good and watchable, lately) of, you know, good and recognizable actors
