600 Bottles of Wine (10Play show?) added to Netflix today and the Ch7 show The Single Wives.
Live:
600 bottles of wine only aired on 10play for a little while, itās been streaming on ABC iView since then.
Interestingly, the show is apparently going to be shown on CBC in Canada too.

Iāve been watching a few episodes of the Unsolved Mysteries reboot. The stories are very compelling, love hearing the classic theme again and itās great to see a tribute to Robert Stack in the intro. However, I feel thereās something missing. The Unsolved Mysteries I remember was darker in tone, both in storytelling and cinematographically. The reboot feels more like any other true crime doco on streaming services and TV. Iād still watch it though, but itās not the same.
Netflix has renewed Dead To Me for a third season - thankfully as season 2 ended on a cliff hanger!

Very welcome news, but not surprising.
Would have to be one of my favourite Netflix series.

Third and final apparentlyā¦ Iām getting tired of Netflix cancelling every decent show after 3 or 4 seasons very rarely do their series extend beyond thatā¦

I doubt they are ācancelling themā it is probably agreed lengths. Ozark is a similar show. It was agreed to before the show began that they would do a certain amount of seasons. A lot of the time these people are quite creative and want to move onto another project.
Then why do many of the shows on free to air tv last 5+ seasons?

Different agreements and working with different studio productions? A lot of the Netflix shows are done through smaller production studios. A show produced by ABC Studios has a lot of talent that can take over. Not to mention the shows on FTA are different quality and storylines than those on streaming.
Dead to Me is produced by Gloria Sanchez Productions. Dead to Me is its second tv show it has produced.
I expect they have enough behaviour mapped out on Netflix members to indicate that this is some sort of sweet spot before interest falls off a cliff.
Or theyāre just atrocious at marketing the return of new series. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was an infamous example of this, Iād suggest most people that watched the first season donāt know that it ran for four seasons because the third and fourth were barely promoted!
Premieres Friday, July 24.
I suspect itās to drive new member subscriptions. Spending money on renewing a show for 5+ seasons when it will have a baked in audience isnāt going to bring fresh eyes to Netflix so by diverting the $ from a old show to a new show gives them the opportunity to bring in more subscribers.
Still sucks though!
And I agree Kimmy Schmidt had little marketing beyond the first season, same kinda applies to most Netflix series they launch then wither away after a week or two.

In contrast to above discussion, The Last Kingdom is getting a 5th season on Netflix - it originated on BBC 2/BBC America - it switched to Netflix in the 3rd season.
Yeah there will always be exceptions - shows like Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, Grace and Frankie etc have all run 7+ seasons but the new norm seems to be 3 maybe 4 before wrapping up.
Cable Girls 5 seasons and thatās it.
Not many who watch The Great would immediately realise its Australian origins.
ā¦ the 10-part Hulu TV series ā¦ is the brainchild of Tony McNamara, the Australian writer who worked on Doctor Doctor, Puberty Blues and Love My Way before earning an Academy Award nomination for co-writing the screenplay for The Favourite.
