  '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.
One possible explanation: Someone recently said that streaming services are only interested in gaining new subscribers, not those already subscribing. A new show will (supposedly / hopefully) pull in new subscribers wanting to watch it, but once it gets past a seaosn or two, it no longer attracts new subscribers, so teh streaming service cancels it and brings in something else new to again attempt to pull in more new subscribers.
I can see why the morons in management would believe that should work, but for those of us with actual brains, it's easy to see it is a incredibly silly way of doing anything and way it (and many streaming services) fail miserably.
