    Another day, another show canceled by Netflix.

    I’d be curious why Vince Staples reviewed so well with critics and viewers but didn’t find an audience at Netflix. Not pushed by the recommendation system? Maybe the remaining Netflix subscriber base is less interested in satirical comedy these days?

      FWIW I’m always on the lookout for more comedy shows, and this is the first time I’ve heard of it

      Were they ever? I can’t think of any hit other than I Think You Should Leave.

          I’d say it’s both. It kind of had the Tim and Eric sensibility: some sketches start as satire of real life concepts and eventually get driven into absurdity.

          Then some are just… absurd and were clearly picked only because they’re funny.

    Honestly I opened The Abandons, saw a woman who looked like a blow-up doll in a TV show set in the 1850s and just couldn’t take it seriously.
