    'The Recruit' Canceled at Netflix After Two Seasons
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Netflix's espionage dramedy "The Recruit" has been canceled
    after two seasons with the streamer, Variety has confirmed.
     Colton Dunn, who played former CIA operative Lester Kitchens
    on the show, took to Threads Wednesday night to announce the
    news.
     "'The Recruit' has been cancelled y'all," he wrote. "Such a
    bummer. I'll share some pics and fun memories on IG but just
    wanted you to hear it from me. Thanks if you watched. I'm
    AVAILABLE NOW! Hire me for you tv story!!"
     "The Recruit" ran for 14 episodes across two seasons, first
    premiering in December of 2022. According to the official
    logline, the series followed, "Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo),
    a CIA lawyer [who] becomes involved in massive international
    conflicts with dangerous parties after an asset tries to
    expose her relationship to the agency."

This surprises me, as this series has seemed to be better received than "The Night Agent", the latter of which has been roundly roasted for its second season.
But it proves, once again, that Netflix cannot be trusted with its original TV series, as Netflix inevitably cancels them (esp. the better ones) too soon.
