1. 'Mindhunter'
What fans had to say: "Every day I curse Netflix for cancelling Mindhunter," X user @NicholasPas5 posted in August 2023. In February of that year, @ShaneNyman criticized the streamer's priorities, writing: "I wonder the budget comparison between a season of Mindhunter, the best show Netflix has made, and something like the lifeless algorithm-puke Red Notice movie they put out." And in 2024, @wulfffhans glibly joked on the site: "If you're having a good day just remember Mindhunter was canceled and [is] probably never coming back."

We know you want to #RenewSense8,” Netflix posted to the show’s official Facebook page. “We wish we could #BringBackSense8 for you. The reason we’ve taken so long to get back to you is because we’ve thought long and hard here at Netflix to try to make it work but unfortunately we can’t.”

Netflix canceled 1899 after one season.Netflix
8. '1899'
What fans had to say:1899's cancellation prompted strong reaction not only from regular viewers (several of whom started a Change.org petition to bring the show back, which garnered over 100,000 signatures) but also from professional critics. Forbes journalist Paul Tassi wrote that the termination of "one of the best modern sci-fi shows" was part of a much larger problem at the streamer: "I feel like Netflix is almost actively stealing my time from me...It's frankly exhausting, and if it's this exhausting for viewers, I have to imagine it's ten times as much for showrunners and actors. Netflix is becoming a graveyard stacked with dead series with unfinished conclusions...Something has to change."
