Sometimes I see how other completed Netflix shows ended and I go, huh! I actually am maybe kind of glad that Dead Boy Detectives got canceled
Controversial maybe but for all that we complain about Netflix never once giving DBD the time of day, I sometimes wonder if that’s WHY season 1 came out so special. Weird creative people making weird creative things are best served by getting to do their thing in their weird little corner without Big Corporation looking too closely over their shoulders. If DBD became popular enough to get a second season, Netflix would start Looking at it; if it became popular enough to get a third season and so on Netflix would start looking at it through Mainstream Appeal glasses and I literally shudder at what a bad idea that would be for DBD specifically (though I honestly can’t think of a time that’s ever gone well for them)
