While Netflix is famed for its variety of incredible TV shows and movies, it's also notorious for canceling beloved TV shows before their time. Netflix's original series often face two struggles. Some shows run for too long and become filled with plot holes as they keep getting renewed. Others, however, join a long list of streaming TV series cut down after a cliffhanger, resulting in unresolved plots, unsatisfying endings, and leaving the fates of cherished characters unknown.

From viewership numbers to high production costs, Netflix has a multitude of reasons for canceling TV shows, leaving fans devastated at the loss of their favorite show. Since its inception in 2007, Netflix has released and canceled many incredible shows that deserve more seasons. From heartening teen dramas to creepy mystery drama shows, the untimely cancelation of some Netflix original shows still stings.

The series also stars Emery Kelly, Eddie Shin, Jolie Jenkins, and Finn Carr.

News of the series’ renewal comes just days after Netflix axed the high school comedy series “Everything Sucks!

I guess audiences just aren't into the 90s as much as Netflix thought. After only one season, the streaming service canceled the 90s set series Everything Sucks! and I'm kinda bummed out by that. I actually enjoyed the show and thought it was entertaining.

The series was created by Ben York Jones and Michael Mohan and the show followed two groups of high school misfits from the A/V club and a Drama club who join forces to make a movie in 1996 Oregon. There were also a few coming-of-age subplots involving the growing pains of being a young teenager in high school.

THR explained that the show "made waves within the Lgbt community but struggled to cut through to mass appeal despite a small group of loyal and vocal supporters. The series was particularly praised for its lesbian representation as it followed young Kate Messner's (Peyton Kennedy) coming-out process."

Netflix has canceled coming-of-age dramedy Everything Sucks after one season, Deadline has confirmed.

The 1990s-set series, a Netflix production, hailed from writers Ben York Jones (Like Crazy) and Michael Mohan (Save the Date) and producers Midnight Radio. It had premiered to mixed reviews.

Said Everything Sucks Ep Jeff Pinkner of Midnight Radio: “We’re super proud of the show we made — and very proud that it found an audience of very passionate fans, for many of whom it became an important personal touchstone: either reflecting their current life, or an echo of their own teenage years. We are grateful to Netflix for the opportunity, but are very disheartened we won’t be continuing to tell these stories.”

Well, that certainly does suck.

Variety has confirmed that Netflix has canceled comedy series “Everything Sucks!” after just one season.

The series followed two groups of high school misfits from the A/V club and a Drama club who collide in 1996 Oregon. It starred Peyton Kennedy, Jahi Winston, Patch Darragh, Claudine Mboligikpelani Nako, Sydney Sweeney, Elijah Stevenson, Quinn Liebling, and Rio Mangini.

The series was created by Ben York Jones and Michael Mohan, who also served as executive producers. Midnight Radio’s Jeff Pinkner, Scott Rosenberg, Josh Appelbaum, and André Nemec also executive produced.

How exciting is life in Boring, Oregon, during the first season of the Everything Sucks! TV show on Netflix? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether TV shows are cancelled or renewed. Netflix and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you've been watching this TV series, we'd love to know how you feel about the Everything Sucks! season one episodes. We invite you to rate them for us, below.

“Everything Sucks!” has a very simple problem that could — but likely won’t — be remedied should future seasons come to pass: It’s too obsessed with the ’90s. Filled with slap bracelets and Zima, “Beavis and Butthead” impressions and “Pulp Fiction” speeches, a soundtrack cribbed from “Now That’s What I Call Music” Vols. 33 – 37 and baggy clothes any grunge kid would’ve been proud to wear to a Nirvana concert, the Netflix original series manufactures too many moments solely to reference a decade only recently being mined for ‘member berries.

While that can work for plenty of period pieces — just look how well “Stranger Things” utilized its ’80s aesthetic — here it’s at the expense of a heartfelt story in need of more earnest attention. All the “as ifs” and “Run Forrest, run!”‘s spoil a unique and stirring coming out story (not to mention a compelling performance from Peyton Kennedy...

“Everything Sucks!” is a great, bold name for a TV show. Particularly a TV show about the 90s.

How else could you describe the youth experience in the 90s other than to say that everything sucks? The glorious excess of the 80s is wearing off, late night talk show hosts are teaching us how to be cynical and carry a sense of ironic detachment, Kurt Cobain is dead, and you have to rewind the damn tapes yourself.

Netflix has released a big trailer for their new 90s-set show, Everything Sucks!, which is likely to tug at every nostalgic heartstring...

While the insane array of original series on Netflix probably can’t be accurately categorised by any one offering, the streaming giant has taken a special shine to nostalgia, evidenced by the embracing of the 1980s-era idiosyncrasies of Stranger Things, its fostering of the 2001 (early 1980s-set) cult film Wet Hot American Summer into a television franchise, as well as Full House spinoff Fuller House. However, teen comedy series Everything Sucks! brandishes a mantra that fits in the angsty era in which it will take place: the 1990s.

Here's the first trailer...

Amongst the array of 1990s iconography and tropes lies an irreverent take on the high school experience, that – in a comparison that can’t be evoked enough – is clearly reminiscent in tone...
