Netflix has decided to cancel the TV series “Cowboy Bebop” after only one season, unexpected news gained from the unsatisfactory results of the live-action remake of the famous anime. The criticism of the public was decisive in not letting the series continue: a painful choice but, probably, the most coherent one.
Bad news for anime lovers: not even Netflix, with its millionaire investments and its experienced authors, has managed to recreate the atmosphere and the unmistakable style of the legendary Cowboy Bebop and so, despite the series is only in its first season, the colossus has already decided to cancel the second season.
To make the choice of Netflix’s leaders inevitable was the dissatisfaction of the viewers who, with decidedly negative data, criticized the series: to realize the value of the product, on Rotten Tomatoes the average vote is 46%, while here public around 55%… from mediocre ones and unable to convince producers to invest.

Netflix, despite the flop, he decided anyway to to leave the ten episodes of the series in its online catalog: if you want to evaluate the quality of the product yourself, you just have to log in and look at them all 10 episodes (denying or confirming the criticisms)
