Uh, hi. I just randomly turned on a bug documentary on Curiosity Stream and Captain Janeway is the narrator. I'm being totally normal about it.

....the fact that within like two weeks i’ve seen LegalEagle, Jacob Geller, and Adam Neely all do nebula/curiosity stream sponsorships has really made me think. typically, i immediately write off any sponsorship products but those three... i do have some measure of trust in? especially jacob his video essays are genuinely top-notch, and they’re all professional. makes me wonder, anybody given it a try?

Our whole earth has become only another shore from which we look out across the dark ocean of space, uncertain what we shall find when we sail out among the stars, but like the Norsemen and the Polynesians of old, lured by the very challenge of the unknown.
Rachel Carson, "Of Man and the Stream of Time"

interesting thought exercise but after the mock execution L says 'the kira I know wouldn't hesitate to kill even his own father' and knee-jerk reflex I was like, yes. but then I thought about it and was like, hm. would Light go so far as to kill his own father, his idol, his role model, in order to evade capture?
especially like, the Light Yagami before the six-year time skip. completely my opinion, but I do think Light even pre yotsuba arc wasn't the same Light post yotsuba arc. I think Kira and the depth of his emotions and morality radically changed after he regained his memories.
but even post time skip, Light does everything he can in order to avoid his father finding out he is Kira, and he doesn't actually deliver the killing blow.
and even L himself say, he can't rule out Light saw through the ruse. Light's emotional state in that moment is another conversation altogether but the long and short of it is he didn't have his memories, he was imprisoned for fifty days for crimes he didn't commit (to his knowledge at the time), and believed that his father and L were just going to do away with him without any shred of concrete evidence. would Kira have seen through the ruse? could Light have?

Netflix Renewal Numbers
So, back in 2019 I got curious about Netflix Originals renewal rates and I made a chart for various genres of show and how many seasons they averaged at Netflix.
Dramas (which includes fantasy, mystery, thriller, etc.) in 2019 averaged 1.81 seasons per show, whereas in 2023 they only average 1.5 seasons. There are only 8 dramas (out of the 149 released by Netflix) that have ever had more than 3 seasons (currently released). Those are- House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black, 13 Reasons Why, Ozark, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Stranger Things, The Crown, and Virgin River. There are only 7 more shows classified as dramas that are currently renewed for a 4th season. Those are- The Umbrella Academy, The Witcher, Outer Banks, Sweet Magnolias, Blood & Water, Bridgerton, and Ginny & Georgia. Seeing as both Bridgerton and Ginny & Georgia were renewed for their 3rd and 4th seasons at the same time, that could still change if the 3rd seasons underperform (to be clear, Queen Charlotte is being counted as a standalone project, not a Bridgerton season).
Comedies (which include "dramadies") in 2019 averaged the exact same renewal rate as the dramas, with 1.81 seasons on average per show. In 2023, they average 1.8 seasons per show, so basically the same. There are only 9 comedies that have ever had more than 3 seasons. Those are- Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Grace and Frankie, The Ranch, Dear White People, Atypical, On My Block, Sex Education, Never Have I Ever, and The Upshaws. There is only 1 show currently renewed for a 4th season. That is- Emily in Paris.
Netflix has canceled or ended 91 dramas after 1 season (does include miniseries only pitched for 1 season). Netflix has canceled or ended 44 comedies after 1 season.
So... do with that information what you will. For me, personally, I'm just sick of Netflix starting stories it appears to have no intention of finishing unless they become massive worldwide hits.
[note that in 2019, Marvel shows were classified in their own genre and not included in the "Drama" numbers, but were since re-classified under "Drama" and included in the 2023 numbers].
[note that Fuller House, which had 5 seasons, was re-classified from "Comedy" to "Kids & Family" between 2019 & 2023 and is not reflected in the 2023 numbers].
[note the categories not classified as either a Drama or Comedy are- Kids & Family, Animation, Anime, Non-English Language Scripted, Docuseries, Reality, Variety, Continuations (shows picked up, but not originally produced by Netflix), Specials, Episodic, Regional Original Programming (there are only 3 shows in this category that apply to the numbers and none of them acquired a 4th season), and Co-Productions].
[note that shows like Riverdale, which were not produced or originally distributed by Netflix, but were slapped with the "Netflix Original" when distributed in some countries are not included in these numbers].
[note that these numbers only reflect English Language shows classified as "Drama" or "Comedy" produced from beginning to end by Netflix].
**Numbers are sourced from Wikipedia & also I did all the math myself, so while I believe they are pretty accurate (as of the posting date), there is room for error.
TLDR: Netflix cancels a lot of their original programming, and cancels dramas at a particularly high rate.
