How to Save The Society!!! (or any other show)

1. Use your voice! Don’t be afraid to take to any and all social media platforms to save this show. Netflix is very present on sites such as twitter or instagram, so definitely go there!!! Together, we can be thousands of voices constantly reminding them of what we want.

2. I know this may be hard, but do not watch or support any other Netflix shows for the moment. If we use other streaming services for the time being, their viewer numbers will drop! This especially counts for new shows they’re trying to promote. Don’t forget to use step 1 to remind them of why their numbers are going down :)

3. Sign this petition http://chng.it/hhzNTTSdpG and this one http://chng.it/cNQFv7BQpZ and any others like it!

4. Constantly like and draw attention to any posts pertaining to the show! Keep up the positive buzz for the show in addition to our angry yelling. 

5. Get #savethesociety trending everywhere!!!

Can I just start by saying, I love the Netflix originals. They’re pretty much the only things I watch nowadays. The Umbrella Academy is my all-time favorite show. Some of my other favorites are The Society, Never Have I Ever, I Am Not Okay With This, Anne with an E, Stranger Things, Daybreak, etc. And they’re all great shows with amazing casts and stories. 

But they get cancelled left and right. I was so excited about all of the new series coming out, but now I don’t even want to start anything else, because more than likely it will get cancelled after one or two seasons. And not in a nice way. There will be open plot lines, missing character development, and the whole show will just be blatantly abandoned. Why?

Money. Apparently, the first season or two makes more money than continuing the show. They would rather rake in the big bucks hooking us on quality first seasons and then dropping the show, before they would keep producing us the quality content we want. 

I’m seeing a pattern here, and I don’t like it. Daybreak? Cancelled after 1 season. It ends on a huge cliffhanger, obviously set up to be another season, and very big hints that a dead character will be resurrected. Except not, because the story will never be finished. I Am Not Okay With This? Awesome cast that excited everybody and certainly delivered. Also the first season ended on a huuuge cliffhanger. Then was dropped. The story will never be finished. Anne with an E? We put up billboards in support of this show being continued - when has that ever happened in the history of ever?! Ryan Reynolds publicly supported the show’s continuation!! Still, not continued. I could seriously go on and on, but I think you get the picture, and you can probably add a few of your own. 

We will NOT let ourselves keep falling for this. They’ve figured out a way to play us, and now we will wise up. This is insulting, honestly. How dare they hook us onto good content, then drop it just because they think they can make MORE money hooking us onto ANOTHER show, that they will also be dropping unexpectedly?? 

Now, don’t even get me started on The Society. I loved that show, so I’m very angry right now. Season 2 was already officially confirmed, promoted, and in the works! Now, all of the sudden they are dropping it due to Covid?? No. No way. If that were true, then Netflix would be cancelling ALL of its series right now. But there are other series in the works, continuing on without a hitch. They’re making a Kissing Booth 3, which is 2 (or arguably 3) too many. Do you see that being cancelled? Nope. There is absolutely no need for another one of those movies, but they’re braving Covid to make that! The Society purposefully leaves you with so many questions and sets you up for at LEAST another season, but still got cancelled. (skip this next chunk if you haven’t watched it yet but plan to)

We will never know: Who was Becca’s baby daddy? Who was the bus driver? How did they end up in New Ham? Why did they end up in New Ham? What happened to Charlie the dog? What happens after the coup (led by the sociopath) takes over the town? What happens to Allie and Will after being arrested? Do the parents know what happened? What exactly is New Ham? And so many more questions, too. And just characters who haven’t fulfilled their arcs, like Harry Bingham, or Grizz and Sam’s relationship. 

We need to be loud. I will not let this keep happening. In a little bit I will post about how to save our precious shows (especially the society), because I think with enough push back it can be done.
