Netflix is creating a problem by cancelling TV shows too soon

I don't think Freaks and Geeks is a great example, because it's one of the classic cases where people really wish there had been more than one season. It's clear that it was not out of steam after one season.

There's a difference between stories told with a self-contained timeline on their own terms (a la Fleabag), and having the rug pulled out from under something that isn't resolved.

Extrapolating off the writers and directors later stuff Freaks and Geeks would have dipped sharply season 2.

It succeeded so well because it was one season. The novelty held it up.

I really liked Undeclared. It I could have seen doing a second season.

Extrapolating off Judd Apatow and Paul Feig? Could be worse. Freaks and Geeks also had an incredible cast. I'd have trusted them to make a solid season 2, although I must say it's kind of perfect as it is for me.
