Netflix cancels ‘One Day at a Time’ amidst vocal #RenewODAAT campaign
Netflix has made the no good, very bad decision to cancel One Day at a Time.
In a relatively long Twitter thread, the streaming giant announced the “tough choice” to stop making more of this inclusive, empathetic, hilarious comedy centering on the Alvarezes, a Cuban-American immigrant family led by Rita Moreno and Justina Machado.
We’ve made the very difficult decision not to renew One Day At A Time for a fourth season. The choice did not come easily — we spent several weeks trying to find a way to make another season work but in the end simply not enough people watched to justify another season.

On the heels of its groundbreaking foray into interactive storytelling with the choose-your-own-adventure style “Black Mirror” episode, Bandersnatch, Netflix will look to produce much more interactive entertainment, according to vice president of content, Todd Yellin. Speaking at the FICCI-Frames conference for Indian media and entertainment in Mumbai, Yellin said in a keynote that audiences could […]

I don’t have enough fingers to count the things I love about Derry Girls.
There’s the fact that it captures the niche sense of humour of the Northern Irish people. And the fact that it’s subverting stereotypes about Northern Irish women. And the fact that it shines a light on what life during the Troubles was really like. But, one thing that is particularly wonderful about this absolute gem of a show is the music.
If you grew up during the ’90s — or if you just so happened to be alive and in possession of a radio during this decade — then watching the show feels like taking an utterly delightful meander down memory lane. At times, the track list sounds like a paean to the school discos of your childhood, featuring songs like Gina G’s “Ooh Aah… Just a Little Bit”, Whigfield’s “Saturday Night,” CeCe Peniston’s “Finally,” Ace of Base’s “All That She Wants,” Shampoo’s “Trouble,” and En Vogue’s “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It).” Season One happens to feature my favourite song from 1993: 2 Unlimited’s “No Limit.” (Apparently five-year-old me was heavily into Dutch Eurodance.)

Among true crime shows, “Murder Mountain” clearly has the best title. It’s memorable, mysterious and alliterative — it was a real struggle not to just say “Murderrrrrrr Mountainnnnnnn” throughout this whole episode of the Original Content podcast, where we review the show. “Murder Mountain” (the local nickname for the town of Alderpoint) tells the story […]

It is a binge as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between watching yet another season of Gilmore Girls and an ill-advised, impromptu viewing of The Grudge. Its duration lies between “No way do I have time for that!” and “Yeah, I’ve got an afternoon to kill.” It is an area of Netflix known only to your queue as..The Twilight Zone.
With Jordan Peele’s reimagining coming to CBS next month and four of the series’ five seasons currently available on Netflix, now is the perfect time to revisit the iconic 1960s sci-fi anthology The Twilight Zone.
But be forewarned, this is one streaming sleeper cell that can and will suck you into its twisted, black-and-white hellscape, an interdimensional place of obsession that you (and all of your spare time) will likely struggle to escape. I should know — I’m still there. Read more…
