"Fuller House" didn't need to last that long.Netflix
Although Netflix has the reputation of canceling shows before their time, that doesn't mean that some shows don't overstay their welcome.
While "House of Cards" started out as critically acclaimed and a full-blown phenomnenon, it quickly became too much for some viewers to bear.
"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" only had one season, and that was still too much for some fans of the original.
To date, Netflix has canceled 42 of its original shows (not including co-productions like "Anne with an E"), 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 eight Netflix Originals lasted longer than they should have.
