s2 part 1 got almost no buzz whatsoever. no one was talking about it. and s2 part 2 is getting even less attention. like, there's no one talking about the fact that it came out earlier than scheduled, no one discussing the episodes. it's been complete silence the whole of season 2. that doesn't really bode well for the future of the show.
the show being cheap to produce doesn't really matter to netflix. they don't really care about that shit, they care more that people are talking about it on social media so that it'll get more people on netflix
