"No, I actually liked this adaptation. Why cancel it after setting up the second season of the show?" asked one person. "C'mon people, everything can't be like it was in the anime."

One of my problems with the Netflix Cowboy Bebop adaptation is the same with the Ghost in the Shell movie- this fixation on trying to recreate certain scenes, to try and get the style and the aesthetic down without capturing any of the spirit of the original. pic.twitter.com/9WbwRckWA5

"It wasnt awful but it wasnt great. I think there WAS potential there though & giving it a 2nd season, especially with Ed coming in, could've saved it & given them a chance to fix things," added somebody else. "Canceling now just makes the entire thing a waste. But this is such a Netflix thing to do."

Thank you @Netflix for not leaving even a month for people to watch #CowboyBebop... It wasn't a great show, but it's so much better than other crap you don't cancel.
Great job... pic.twitter.com/WLAMeSSTXP

"[Cowboy Bebop] was so special to me. The PoC sci-fi representation I've wanted all my life. I want to thank [John Cho], [Mustafa Shakir], [Daniella Pineda], Mason Park, the whole creative team," wrote one fan. "In one of the most difficult years of my life, this show, brought me so much joy."
prevnextSubscribers upset with Netflix's cancellation history
I really liked this show! The actors were great! The story line was full of twists. In fact, the only thing I didn’t like was the stupid title. Maybe if it had a different name, more people would’ve given it a shot…???

"I think I might start not watching any new series on [Netflix] until they're concluded. Getting so tired of starting something good just to have them cancel it. [Cowboy Bebop] was the final straw," wrote one person in response to Netflix' tendency to cancel series after just one or two seasons. "Start respecting your viewers, Netflix."
prevnext'Really disappointed'
Really disappointed with this. The show was funny, stylistic and just plain jazzy. The actors and the viewers deserve to have an actual ending. All Netflix does is make shows it’s cliffhangers and then cancel them.

"This sucks," shared somebody else. "I know the show wasn't perfect but I think john cho, mustafa shakir, and daniella pineda did a solid job. I was actually interested to see what they would do with a second season."
prevnext'Such a bummer'
Meh, such a bummer. Another season would've been cool and probably would've given it chance to breathe and stand on its own two feet. Shame they decided to bail at the first knee jerk because of incredibly loud dweebs.

"I liked the show. I hate anime," tweeted one viewer. "The people who liked the original were never going to like the live action. Did they know their audience?"

I liked it
Took a a couple of episodes to find their groove but I liked it!
"I'm really upset. Long time fan of the original anime, and I can definitely say if you couldn't see the creators love and passion for this adaptation you're blind," tweeted another viewer. "The acting was natural and the atmosphere was on par. And Ed was just perfect."
