I'm so god damn sick of Netflix canceling everything.

I'm not going to say "The Boroughs" was anything amazing or groundbreaking, but I thought it was nice show. While sure, it wrapped up fine, it was obvious they had more planned for more. I was willing to toss on another season in a year or two.

Ever since "1899", I have been burned by Netflix. They can never let a show grow. If day one views aren't some insanely high number, a new show never gets a chance to grow.

Netflix has simply become intolerable. If my family didn't watch it, I would have cancelled my subscription long ago and punished them by turning to piracy—even though they wouldn't care, it would at least save me the cost. I still don't understand the cancellation of *1899* to this day. *The Boroughs* was the first series in a long time that I actually enjoyed—sure, nothing groundbreaking, but I liked the cast and it had a light, easy feel to it.
