• Netflix canceled four more TV shows last week, but none of our favorites

Netflix canceled 4 more shows of its original shows last week, right at the start of the long weekend. Each and every one of them were comedies more than dramas: Country Comfort, Mr. Iglesias, Bonding, and The Crew. Of these, The Crew was perhaps the biggest, as it starred King of Queens' Kevin James, an Adam Sandler frequent. This one was about a guy who runs a NASCAR garage, and it only lasted one season earlier this year. Country Comfort also only lasted one season, while Iglesias and Bonding each had 2 before being eliminated. The cancellations were discovered each at the same time in a report from Variety, which claims that Netflix is ​​making another show with Kevin James for the actor to generate and star in. Netflix has canceled other bigger-budget series this year so far, including superhero drama Jupiter's Legacy and Sherlock Holmes, but has confirmed that Shadow and Bone season two is in the works. Another Netflix sitcom, Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me! starring Jamie Foxx, was also axed last month. One Netflix show we're still waiting to see is Sweet Tooth, which launched a month ago.

Analysis: certain cancellations hurt more than others

No offense to these shows, they did have their fans, but none of them made our best Netflix series list. Comedy must be a pretty hard thing for Netflix to fathom; on the surface, it's more difficult to make them work for a global audience. Many of his biggest TV hits are dramas like Stranger Things and The Witcher, which transfer pretty well wherever you watch them. The crew, on the other hand, was NASCAR-themed, which is probably a very American phenomenon. Sometimes cultural credentials don't hold up internationally, and Netflix has a massive presence outside of the US. However, by the time a sitcom is as successful as sex ed is, it really doesn't matter where it comes from. Sometimes the themes or characters are so universal that they continue. Regardless, these 4 Netflix shows clearly did not have the fan base to keep going.
