But that just illustrates part of the problem - in the good old days the network would have contracts with stars of their big new shows with optional clauses to ensure their availability should a second season get green-lit. The fact that they produced a hit and then couldn’t get their star back for 18 months betrays poor commissioning strategy at Netflix, which seems still to be enslaved by an inflexible approach to measuring how and when subscribers view the content. There doesn’t seem to be room any more for the industry experience that can identify a hit and respond quickly.
