Don’t cancel santaclaritadiet on a cliff hanger

Hahahahha

or maybe because they keep cancelling everyone’s favourite original series: sense8, one day at a time, jessica jones, the punisher, etc etc. it’s on you netflix

Stop raising the price

.netflix it’s both

Blame the lack of living wages being paid these days. i would def subscribe if i could afford it...
