‘Cowboy Bebop’ Canceled By Netflix After One Season
Like many nerds, I loved the original anime. Nothing I saw in the leadup to the debut of the remake on Netflix inspired me to re-subscribe to the “Cuties” streamer, and once it started airing and bits of it made it to YouTube and such, my lack of interest intensified. Now that it has been cancelled less than three weeks after debuting, my overall response is… “meh.”
Netflix screwed this up. But I gotta hand it to them: unlike the monsters who screwed up Star Trek with Discovery and Picard, Netflix at least had the *decency* to terminate this cultural abortion.
If you are going to remake, reboot or sequelize a beloved property, at least *consider* the possibility of not making a mess of it. Just a thought.
