Ya she's great. Have you seen the Split, where she plays a divorce lawyer? Not as good as Unforgotten and River but still very watchable.

She was excellent in split. Must get on to the other two!

Do Netflix reveal viewership/streaming figures? I assume that was behind the decision?

going by the press release its moving to Disney possibly

"While the series on Netflix has ended, the three existing seasons will remain on the service for years to come, while the Daredevil character will live on in future projects for Marvel."

Nope, they don't reveal any facts or figures about their stable of shows (bar the occasional self-aggrandizing promotional tweet). It's a pretty jealously guarded secret.

Some 3rd party companies claim to have accurate stats on Netflix viewership but they're nothing more than educated guesses. Supposedly, according to these companies, Daredevil's viewership tanked in season 3.

inforfun · 30-11-2018 10:23AM

Viewership on series on providers like netflix are probably hard to use for any decision whether to keep a series going of cancel.

In the past i would watch a serie like that on tv, every week 1 episode.
Nowadays, the 12\13 episode a season series i only watch when the entire season is available so i can watch it in 1 go.

Sad Professor · 30-11-2018 11:22AM

Viewership had nothing to do with Daredevil being cancelled. It was cancelled for the same reason iron Fist and Luke Cage were, and which Punisher and Jessica Jones will, because of Disney’s new streaming service.

It's totally hypothetical given the circumstances, but I'm not so sure. Netflix really like nuking popular / well-received shows at the drop of a hat, and bar a few exceptions they seem happy to let shows run 2-4 seasons maximum.

nix · 30-11-2018 12:01PM

What popular/well received shows have they nuked?

The fact that they gave house of cards another season kinda contradicts that they like doing it

facehugger99 · 30-11-2018 12:23PM

I must say I find the amount of love that Line of Duty gets in this thread bizarre.

I gave up halfway through Season 2, I found the plots ridiculous, the acting ropey and the pacing all over the place.

Have to agree Netflix seem to be a lot less likely to cancel shows than most other platforms, although this gradually seems to be changing.

Look at some of the rubbish they gave a second series too.....haters back off I am looking at you!

Sad Professor · 30-11-2018 01:06PM

Netflix don't seem to give much thought to quality/popularity in the first place. They are throwing a lot of money at second rate stuff that the other studios are rejecting. Netflix are trying to fatten their catalogue so it makes sense to cancel after a season or two and spend that money elsewhere.

But killing all the Marvel shows (assuming JJ and Punisher cancellations follow next year) is down to a broader shift taking place in the industry, of which the Disney service is just a harbinger. Netflix's licensed catalogue is going to shrink, or "thin" as Warner's streaming CEO put it, as Disney, Fox, Warners etc end their deals with Netflix and start to pull their content. Even if this isn't the exact reason for the Marvel cancellations, Netflix obviously doesn't want to be promoting a competitor's brand.

I'm a few episodes into season 3 now, and totally loving it.

It's finds like this which make me have no qualms about paying the Netflix monthly fee, and also why this thread is such a great resource. I wouldn't have taken a chance on Line of Duty only for the amount of mentions it got in here.

I'll need another show to launch into when I finish LoD soon. Are there any other non-US detective shows similar to LoD on Netflix which I should watch?

I'm Luthered up btw, and I completed Sherlock before watching LoD. Luther and Sherlock, two shows which start out great but are let down by their conclusions/most recent seasons IMO.

No Offence.

Not on Netflix, but you'll get it on the All4 player, is actually pretty good

Started season 3 of F is for family, its off to a very good start with the first few episodes

Black Sails
I watched the first three seasons so long ago I'd forgotten most of it so I've started from the very start. I love it. Some great storylines and entertaining throughout. There are 4 seasons in total. Very underrated imo

Cathedral of the Sea
Jaysus life was tough as a medieval peasant. Your lord could ruin your life and your family and not a thing you could do about it. Quite a long series set in Spain. I love these medieval dramas and it had a satisfying ending. Loved it!

7 seconds
I watched 6 episodes and gave up. Couldn't care less about any of the characters or where it was going. A miss imo. About crooked cops

Happy Valley is in quite a similar vein. I thoroughly enjoyed it. British small-town style crime series. Sara Lancaster steals the show. Highly recommended.

Mickeroo · 01-12-2018 10:03AM

I like Line of Duty a lot but it's very silly and over the top compared to Happy Valley which I found reasonably grounded.

Interesting. Was considering Line of Duty as my next watch, but not a huge fan of Jed Mercurio, found Bodyguard over the top and a little ridiculous, especially some of the acting. Seems Line of Duty could be in a similar vein.

Bodyguard is far worse. I recommend season 4 to begin with for LOD. It’s fairly self contained. And the acting isn’t ropey.
