Here’s what happens when you don’t publish your ratings.
Netflix has canceled the updated version of “One Day at a Time” after three seasons. They say: “We’ve made the very difficult decision not to renew One Day At A Time for a fourth season. The choice did not come easily — we spent several weeks trying to find a way to make another season work but in the end simply not enough people watched to justify another season”
But apparently there were enough people, because now they are all complaining and going crazy on social media. The new “One Day” was based on the Bonnie Franklin version, and was very popular and well thought of. It was also one of the few shows among all the vast offerings on TV and related platforms that featured Latinos and LGBTQ characters prominently.
If there weren’t enough readers, Netflix could just show the numbers. They won’t, and risk the ire of subscribers who came just for that show.
