It's becoming a graveyard of cancelled shows. When they killed GLOW, that was it for me.
Also the sound design is really bad. Everything is really 'dry' with no room reverb, sort of like how talking on telephones used to sound
The cancellations are probably their biggest problem, and it's not even one that's difficult to fix. Instead of green lighting random shows that are meant to go for an undetermined number of seasons and cancelling them when they underperform early on, do what kids cartoon networks have done for decades and green light select shows for a three season run. The showrunners know they have three seasons to resolve their plot, and viewers gain confidence that their shows will actually end and will start watching their new stuff again.
OMG right? What the fuck with the sound.
I think they're constrained by having to sound good on such a wide variety of devices, like TVs, phones, earbuds etc. And their solution is just to sound like shit on everything.
I’ll never fucking forgive them for Dark Crystal. Like holy shit I don’t think I’ve ever been move devastated to see a show get canceled.
