Netflix Is No Longer Hollywood’s Biggest Spender. Cue the Outrage
Fans and critics of popular Netflix programs says the service is canceling shows before they are finished with the story.
When Netflix announced this week that it was canceling “GLOW,” the award-winning show about a women’s wrestling league, the outrage machine whipped into high gear.
The story was unfinished! The show is so good! Netflix had promised a fourth season! None of these arguments, though true, mattered to the company when weighed against the financial realities; filming during the pandemic costs millions of dollars more than it did before.
