Thanks for ruining it for all of us
I take my role as a Harbinger of Failure very seriously

Proving exactly why Netflix isn't worth subscribing to
How so? KAOS was brilliant. Have you seen it? Season 1 didn't finish on a cliffhanger.
I saw it, it was good, but it's now permanently less than 10 hours of show, and it isn't a fully resolved story. That's not what i want from a streaming service.
Fair enough :)
I mean, it was multiple pretty massive cliffhangers...
As far as story arcs types go, Kaos S1 was far more complete than "multiple pretty massive cliffhangers" warrants IMHO.
Even though the creator envisioned 3 seasons to fully tell the story, they did an excellent job in making season 1 entertaining, and worth watching in of itself. Which cannot be said for many other shows...
I absolutely agree that S1 is great television, and the cliffhangers aren't as bad as many other shows. But there are a lot of open questions from the end of the last episode:
-
!Who, or what, is Kaos?!<
-
!Why/how does Caeneus have the ability to return people?!<
-
!Who/what was guiding Prometheus?!<
-
!How will humanity react to Riddy's revelations?!<
-
!Will Dionysus revive Dennis?!< This one never being answered might actually be a war crime according to the Geneva convention
Never commit yourself to a Netflix show until you know more seasons are coming.
First seasons don't get the numbers that Netflix wants because everyone knows to wait for the 2-3 season.
It's a loop that Netflix is now in lol
1899 was my last straw. At that point I realized I was only hanging on for Tim Robinson.

My brother refuses to watch Sandman for this reason
I'm still mad about Inside Job
That is rule even waiting for more than 2 seasons... But I forgot about it the other day when my wife and I wanted to find something fast to watch and selected Kaos :(. We didn't even intended to keep watching or expectations of enjoying it as much as we did. That sucks.
I've been doing this to avoid disappointments.
Havent had netflix for a long time now. I sail the high seas.
I don’t even bother with new shows anymore - no point getting invested in something thatll be cancelled anyway. And a lot of series these days turn out to be trash, and not worth even trying.
I recently started slow horses. Really good if you're looking for something. 4 seasons in
I heard your comment.
Misfits and losers!
"Surrounded by losers, misfits and boozers."
I thought there was something more to it. (I'm just watching the latest episode now.)
Seconding this! Show is great, and Gary Oldman really shines
Absolutely, I wish I could forget it and re-watch it for the first time. It's really good.
I also enjoyed Criminal Record, it's much more intelligent than 99% of shows out there. And it has a bad-ass detective.
Ikr? I think i ditched Netflix 2 years ago. Sailing the high seas again after a long time. It was all good when Netflix was the one streaming platform, featuring almost everything.
Don't miss out on some good new shows. But i would rather look at Amazon's and Apple's releases for good, new, series. They also tend to not cancel series as often as Netflix does.
As much as I hate Amazon as a corporation, they actually make good creative decisions with their streaming offerings. I really liked Patriot back in the day and was surprised

Miss out on some good new shows
For sure - Ill wait until its “finished”, or at least not being cancelled midway through
Fucking idiots. This is what happens when you let beancounters make creative decisions.
Training your users to never get invested in any new shows 👌
Which each of these cancelations I get closer to getting rid of Netflix. Only rewatching library content like Bojack Horseman keeps me renewing rn.
I mean, stremio is a thing. Why keep paying if you can have the exact same experience with every show imaginable available to you.
Good thing they butchered the ending by leaving 6327 plot threads completely open.
What a waste of good acting.
I've only checked out a handful of shows on that chart analysis, including The Gentlemen, and Kaos was so much better than any of them. Much better written, acted and directed on all fronts. Sigh.
What the fuck? It was a successful show.
I'm going to pull this out of my asshole, but I'm guessing that cast cost them quite a bit and the viewing returns couldn't justify it.
Which sucks, because it was a actually novel and interesting show.
Normally, that would have meant I wouldn't have even started watching it because I would assume eminent cancellation, but I actually figured the cast worked in its favor. Guess I was wrong.
Oh Netflix, you're still finding new ways to show me I was right to cancel my decade-long subscription.
Netflix has always had trouble paying A listers. The monetization model just doesn't translate properly.
There's a real possibility that they cancelled this because Jeff Goldblum wanted too much money for season 2.
Finding out that show even exists by hearing about its cancellation will never stop being amusing to me.
I refuse to watch new netflix shows now. I'll binge watch them if yhe arc completes in a few years
Trash website makes trash decision
I only just started watching this show this weekend. Two episodes in and enjoying it. God damn it, Netflix.
::: spoiler Spoiler ahead giving advice on whether to watch the rest of the show:
The season ends the story at a reasonable half conclusion, so even though they setup a storyline that would've been the second season, you still feel reasonably not blueballed.
I was telling my wife just this. A lot of things are left open but you have enough hints to reasonably infer where the story was headed. Would have been great to see it all, though.
I'm not familiar with this show in any way, but the thumbnail and headline make me want to say: Kaos, uh... Finds a way.
Based on the comments I'm reading here, hopefully that's true!
I thought it was interesting and original until the pointless cat scene and the complete lack of an ending.
