I don't expect them to go forever - I expect them to END. Ending is a (hugely) different proposition than being canceled.
A show that wraps up the plot (even if not executed particularly well) is a-ok.
A show that starts a story and then dies is not.
One of them has value in watching, one is a complete waste of time.
I also don't really care how they work out the budget - A show getting a mini-series as the final season because they don't want to invest in a full one? Fine - just resolve the fucking plot.
Personally - I don't even care if the show is only one season (or two) as long as it wraps up. What I do mind - quite a bit - is the start of a story that we know will never end.
If netflix wants to be so axe-happy, that's fine. Buy freaking mini-series and wrap them in a season.
Or set a more strict budget if the creators want to run multiple seasons.
My whole point about them being garbage at this is that I don't really care all that much how the wrap their shows. I just want a story to consume.
Personally - I really think production budgets are set far too high in an attempt to make them global hits, and it's really, really not panning out for them.
