Netflix has cancelled "ONE DAY AT A TIME".

What else are we supposed to go by, then? Netflix says not enough people watched and then we have people in this thread and on Facebook saying they never even heard of the show.
I'd remove Breaking Bad and Mad Men, but yes, The Wire and The Sopranos are basically the pinnacle of TV.
Okay, so does it make sense to you to call anything less than the pinnacle of TV "liquid shit?" Because the best of Netflix isn't THAT far behind The Wire and The Sopranos
Netflix is weird. Have they commented about advertising before? It almost seems like a majority of these shows get zero advertising budget outside of the platform itself and they rely solely on social media and word of mouth.
And unless they "go viral" don't get much in the way of post release support.
Netflix demands the results but doesn't want to put in the work.
"Your stories and representation are important! We must continue to find ways to tell these stories! ...but not this story, we aren't going to continue telling this one."
It's extremely tone deaf. Don't talk about how committed you are to representation in the context of cancelling a show that was celebrated for its representation. Especially since they barely ever promoted the show.
What a shame. I discovered the show from a lot of praise on Twitter because Netflix barely ever recommended me this show but they're happy to always throw goddamn Ricky Gervais and Joe Rogan shit at me.
Shit gets canceled all the time, it doesn't mean they don't care about representation and Netflix's immense backlog is proof of their commitment.
It's especially weird to get on their case when this show has already gotten three seasons.
All of those are shit except for Mindhunter, I forgot that was a Netflix show so I'll give you that. Though even that isn't what I'd call amazing, so tough luck.
I don't think I can answer that properly. If I were to agree that "the best of Netflix isn't THAT far behind The Wire and The Sopranos", I would then be essentially saying that those shows are shit, seeing as the best Netflix has is hot garbage.
The best I could say about Netflix shows is that Mindhunter was okay, Haunting on Hill House was well shot (but was terribly acted and the characters themselves were overwhelmingly unlikable), and that Ozark started off decently enough but quickly went downhill.
This show probably isn't $$$ to produce and has a very underrepresented,vocal audience championing it, hard to imagine it isn't picked somewhere. Even if it wouldn't be wholly " profitable", the sheer positive press and goodwill it will generate for whichever service picks it up would be enough
:( As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, this show hit quite close to home for me. Super sad to hear this news, fuck.
I watch a decent amount of Netflix shows and I've never heard of it until today. Some of you already mentioned there's no huge cliffhanger at the end of season 3 so I will watch it.
Was expecting more discussion about this show on this forum other than a single other thread spanning two pages of discussion.
I am a bit upset that a show I genuinely enjoyed for the last three years is not getting a fourth, so there's that. The announcement also kind of caught me off-guard since it happened on a random Thursday afternoon. There's also just this overall dismissive attitude (whether intentional or not) towards laugh tracks/studio audiences in general, especially on this forum, that makes it seem like any show or event that has it must not be good because of it. I read replies on here all the time about how users get uncomfortable when watching livestreams of award shows or other live events because of the audience. (The word "cringe" comes up way too much.)
I'm sorry if I'm coming off as defensive. Reading some comments and replies that say that they've never heard or watched this show, see a little 2-minute trailer, and then dismiss/talk shit about it just get to me because of how reactionary some people are.
I'm not sure about that. This is the first time I've ever seen it talked about in-depth (...possibly at all?), but I've seen it pop up a bunch of times - enough that I immediately knew the show in question. As an icon, a trailer, and a screensaver. (Confession: there was a stretch where I thought one of the actresses was Vanessa Bayer, and I feel guilty about that after reading the show is about a Cuban-American family.)
Either way, I'm definitely going to check it out now. Seems like a wonderful show, and I hope it's picked up elsewhere.
Well, add me to the "Never knew it even existed" , i just checked thinking maybe it wasn't available here in Mexico but it is, with a pretty generic thumbnail too
Yeah this seemed like it should be a show if not beloved/championed by the forum, at least got some eyeballs/a chance here due to its topical nature and representation. I guess a lot of the struggle is getting people in the door seeing as how many people seem to not even know what this show is until it got cancelled.
A lot of people also seem stuck on it being a sitcom, laugh track, multi-cam, etc.
:shrugs: not sure what can be done about the latter if thats their barrier of entry
This was a problem for all the people I told about the show. Sitcoms are just not for everyone and unfortunately the writing was just not enough to make up for that.
Go ahead and watch if you're interested. The final season ends very well and works fine as a series finale. There's a bit of a cliffhanger, but nothing major.
If only all the people online writing hot takes about the show and its cancellation and representation actually fucking watched the show, it would have a season 4. /bitter
Would consistently pop up on my Netflix acct and finally started watching. That said, netflix just cancelled all the Marvel shows too, so I believe them when they say it is a business decision (especially because they don't make ODAAT, so it is much more expensive for them).

Guess it'll be my wife and my next show after we finish Fuller House (groan). My wife recalls the original show from the eighties (?). And she's a sucker for nostalgia so I'm sure she'll be all about it
Eh, they promoted it quite a lot whenever I use Netflix and I fail to see how you can blame them for giving a show three seasons to catch on before axing it.
I know there's been a few vague tweets since these ones. Hopefully someone else picks it up. Preferably not another subscription service though
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GOD WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY
I really hope someone else picks this show up for at least one more season. They can't just end on a cliffhanger like that!
I wanna know what happens in Cuba!

#SaveODAAT has also been the #1 trending topic worldwide damn near since the Netflix announcement.
Am I missing something here?
This show was not funny or entertaining, I got half way through season 1 and just never went back, their wasn't a single character that was funny, also I never heard anyone talk about it....ever.
I don't mean to sound like trolling and it sucks for people that liked it, but I genuinely mean it when I say I never heard anyone talk about it, honestly thought it got canned ages ago.

I never heard of it until it got cancelled so that speaks wonders of how well Netflix advertised it.
