I have no idea if this movie is going to be any good, but the cast is insane. Peter Dinklage, Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Brendan Fraser, Marisa Tomei, M. Emmet Walsh.

What really irks me about Netflix’s decision to cancel Kaos is that it coincided with the announcement that they were renewing The Night Agent for a third season before the second season even premieres.
The Night Agent was such pedestrian, cookie cutter, paint by numbers, off-brand Jason Bourne bullshit that I was honestly surprised it even merited a second season, much less a third.

I’ve been watching Nightsleeper because Alexandra Roach 
but I keep falling asleep but not because it’s boring - it’s quite riveting - I’m just too exhausted, drunk and depressed to stay awake. I’m about halfway through. It’s probably really good.

Night Agent is probably much cheaper to make than Kaos. That’s often what it comes down to for these series. More expensive productions need so many more viewers to “justify” a continuation. But Netflix also seems to have a tiny window for determining if a show has a sufficient viewership. That’s part of the issue with plopping a series on the service all at once. There’s no time to actually grow an audience week to week.

I wish that they would at least break that first season down into 2 five-episode blocks spaced a few months apart. That seems like the norm with shows that are already popular, but they never seem to have the foresight to do that from the start to see if a show still has people coming back for more a few months later.
I don’t know if that would have saved Kaos, but the show was cancelled before many people even had a chance to hear about Kaos, which just leaves anyone who is now hearing about the show for the first time simply better off not watching it at all. It’s like Netflix is sabotaging their own chance to get their money’s worth out of Jeff Goldblum.
Netflix seems to act like it’s still the only game in town. They don’t advertise outside of their own platform and Netflix. They seem to think that the audience they had a decade ago (I really think they used to appeal to then-college students) is in the exact same life situation they were in before, where they could sit around and binge shows. Times have changed and, unfortunately for them, Netflix has not.

Since dumping them for YouTube, I discovered how much Netflix edits adaptations of series produced in other countries. Several times, watching a series on Netflix left me with unanswered questions about what the characters were doing or the decisions they made. On rewatch, I found out they left major plot points out of what they aired (for no apparent reason, because there were no commercials). So, I was paying more money for a fraction of the content.

What series are these? That’s really messed up that they’re doing that.

Too many to count. 
I found that people discuss them on Reddit or in the comments of YouTube videos. Try this search “Netflix drama scenes missing site:www.reddit.com” and then substitute cdrama or kdrama on another two searches, and you’ll get the idea. It’s not just about music licensing issues, either.
IIRC, there were even issues with Trek episodes. Worse than the cuts BBC America made because of commercials. When there are no commercials, you expect to see the whole thing, but nope.

Does YouTube TV have all of Netflix, including the most recent stuff?

Interesting that it’s largely with the international dramas. That sounds like there could be a whole host of issues there. I wish I understood those deals. Last month there was a big anime release on Netflix that people were looking forward to, and then it was only offered as an English dub (but subtitles that likely better matched the Japanese dialog).

For newer content, there might be a delay of six months to a year. It really depends on popularity or how the content appears on the platform 
.
Yeah, although I feel for folks rewatching popular shows from the US. It sounds like some posting about this were starting to question their memory because what they saw didn’t match what they expected. I guess confirmation from other people that they aren’t losing it helped somewhat.
With competition between services, struggles over access to popular shows or movies, and multiple versions of content created for specific global markets, I doubt viewers will ever get a heads-up about this in advance.

More than an horror movie, I think it is a farce about greed, mass media, thirst for power, bad taste on television and people without the slightest qualms about exploiting other people’s pain.
One of the antagonists, If we can call him that, is Mr. D’Abo, the flamboyant leader of a satanic cult that loves firearms. We laugh a lot at home when they say his name out loud. D’Abo sounds in Portuguese like Diabo, one of the names of the evil lord.

Three cartoons in a row.
Robot Dreams
A lonely dog living in Manhattan in the late 1980´s buys a robot as a friend. It´s a silent spanish cartoon, a tragic comedy about what takes to keep a friendship
The Boy and The Heron
This goes without saying that it’s a Studio Ghibli cartoon, I mean, it’s a Hayao Miyazaki cartoon. Everything he did after Spirited Away is there.
Dandadan
People say this cartoon is really crazy, but I think whoever says that must not watch many Japanese productions. I really liked the visual part and the animation. But there’s a lot of fan service.
