Netflix is known for canceling shows before their time, but some shows overstay their welcome.
"House of Cards" started out critically acclaimed, but it quickly fell from grace.

Last year alone, Netflix canceled over 20 of its original titles, many of them before their time. But that doesn't mean some Netflix originals don't go on way too long — and sometimes, that makes the cancellation of another show sting all the more.

Did "Fuller House" need to last for more than one season? No. Neither did "13 Reasons Why" nor "Insatiable."

Keep scrolling to see which 10 Netflix Originals lasted longer than they should have.

While Claire Underwood deserved her chance at the top, "House of Cards" should have ended much earlier.

With original comedies getting canceled after one or two seasons, there's no reason "Fuller House" should have lasted five seasons.

"13 Reasons Why" was an adaptation of a novel — the story was over after the first season in 2017.

"The Ranch" lasted for 80 mediocre episodes from 2016 to 2020.

Although "Making a Murderer" was a smash success, the second season was wholly unnecessary.

While "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" only got one season, many fans of the original wished it hadn't happened at all.

"Insatiable" shouldn't have made it to air, let alone to two seasons.

The lackluster second season proved "Sex/Life" should've been one and done.
