Were any of those Netflix series’ favorites? Obviously, they weren’t favored by enough people to keep them streaming. But, the news isn’t all bad. Netflix is planning to launch 85 new series before fall. So there will be a new series (or maybe more) for you to like. Will streaming produce the next “Friends?” That doesn’t seem to be the plan. Flooding the landscape with one and two seasons of Netflix series seems to be the platform’s modus operandi. So look quick and enjoy now. It’s the cotton candy theory of television.
