  1. He was angry before he quit in protest. Then they canceled it. Then he got angry again that they canceled it.

    We’ll probably never know what really happened, would have to see the rough cuts and read the network notes. Maybe he shot a turkey. Maybe he shot something good but Netflix didn’t want to fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy. The question I’d have is how much *more* money was needed in post, reshoots, whatever, to get it to release-ready?

  2. a show widely panned by critics and audiences alike

    AND

    you managed to make gillian anderson boring on screen

    Not enough people watched the show so it was canceled. That’s what television has always been. I don’t know what’s with this trend lately where people freak out every time a network or a streamer cancels a show.

    Sutter’s been around long enough to know this himself.
