I said hey, what's going on?

It appears that Netflix not only cancelled The Get Down, it also cancelled Sense8.

I'm extremely upset about Sense8 in particular because I'm still making my way through the second season and it is just so damn good, it's more fast-paced than the first season and is making incredible advancements in the plot, and apparently the season ends on a cliffhanger. But then this news just happened. Apparently I'm hearing it's because it's too expensive to make, despite the massive fanbase it has. I'm sad, but also livid, because Sense8 is one of my happy places and I need this story to continue. Just one more season, or at another special episode to wrap things up proper.

You can go directly to this link or some other methods of contacting Netflix and request for either show to be renewed, along with signing these petitions. It won't guarantee anything, but it'll at least help them see how many people are watching and demanding for these shows to return for another season. Even if you don't watch either of these shows, a little help goes a long way.

I've heard about sense8 (never got past the second episode :( ) but I thought they renewed it... That's unfortunate!!! I'll go sing the petition for you and my friends that watch it! :) They love it too!

Send those links so people can protest this properly, contacting Netflix directly can maybe help the cause in getting our voices heard that we're not at all happy by this decision.

(Also, if you're willing, definitely give the show another chance. Binging does help in this case. The first season does start off a bit slow in the beginning, but picks up during the last few episodes. The Christmas special and season two are so worth it because they move along rather quickly, the second season in particular because they've been getting shit done right and left and it's glorious, which makes the cancellation even more frustrating because they were getting right down to the juiciest stuff, and ended on a goddamn cliffhanger.)

They say it takes 4-5 episodes to get into it and it's a lot... Unfortunately my brain shuts off if I don't find it interesting and I have so many things I want to watch/try... Maybe... One day... :(

I'll pass on the link! :)

There are a lot of shows out there that takes time to find its rhythm, sometimes waiting half a season before things start picking up. It can definitely be a make or break it for some people, though, which I completely understand. It's why I kinda prefer binge-watching these days more than just waiting weeks and a dozen of hiatuses just for another episode, especially when there's so many shows for me to catch up on.

I'm hoping you'll give it another shot one day, just keep an open mind. If nothing else, I'd say start with the Christmas special and continue into the second season, because those move rather quickly with the characters and the plot.

Thank you so much! Also, you can add this petition (https://www.change.org/p/netflixlat-netflix-sense8-sense-8-season-3-renewal) along with the rest of the links provided.
