Netflix just stabbed the heart of ‘First Kill’ fans when they decided to cancel the hit show after one season. While the streaming company renewed ‘Heartstoppers’ for two more seasons even though ‘First Kill’ performed better on the platform.

first kill did infinitely better in numbers than heartstopper but yk what the difference is? that its a lesbian show and netflix didnt even give it a budget or a chance just like the other shows they’ve cancelled

Many took to social media to voice their frustration about the series that starred a dark skin black woman and their main characters being lesbian.

First Kill foi a maior prova de que a Netflix está pouco ligando pra audiência e gastos quando se trata de cancelar séries lésbicas. O gasto pra série foi de um pastel e msm assim a série hitou… mesmo com as críticas ruins a audiência foi alta.

if you’re having a conversation about why First Kill was cancelled don’t forget to mention that Calliope is a darkskin black lesbian lead and nonblacks can deny all they want but Calliope being black especially darkskin plays a huge role its not just bc FK is a lesbian show

Do they have a point?
Netflix reportedly lost a million subscribers in quarter 2 of this year. The company share prices have declined by over 67% this year, according to NBC News. The company remains the largest streaming platform with over 200 million subscribers. They are canceling fan-favorite shows, which isn’t stopping the bleeding.
