Netflix has canceled Baz Luhrmann's show about the birth of hip-hop, "The Get Down," after just one season."The Get Down" was an expensive undertaking, costing Netflix a whopping $120 million to make, according to Variety. The production was also smacked with a bunch of issues, so much so that writers reportedly began calling it "The Shut Down," since production started and stopped so often.
"The Get Down" is one of only a few shows Netflix has canceled. The streaming giant has loudly rejected the "pilot" system of TV, instead ordering full seasons of shows before any of them air. And since it began releasing original shows in 2013, Netflix has stuck by a remarkably high percentage of them for subsequent seasons.
But even Netflix knows sometimes you have to cut your losses. So far, Netflix has canceled six shows, not including "Bloodline," which will "conclude" after season three.
Here are the six shows Netflix has killed, along with their critic and audience ratings from Metacritic:
