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

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.
