OnlineCasinos.co.uk can reveal that Julie and the Phantoms is the highest ranked show that Netflix has cancelled over the last two years, achieving a rating of 8.4 out of 10 on IMDb from 10,465 ratings. Within nine days of the cancellation news, fans had started a change.org petition for a second season which currently sits at nearly 220,000.
Following closely behind is Atypical with an 8.3/10 rating, which was cancelled after four seasons despite its huge 90,759 ratings. One of few Netflix originals that had reached season four, an exact reason why it was cancelled hasn’t been announced – could it be that it reached a natural ending with main character Sam becoming a college student and moving out?
In third place scoring a 8.2/10 rating, is the series Grace and Frankie, cancelled after seven seasons, it received an impressive 52,908 ratings. This is Netflix’s longest running show to date, and this isn’t something Netflix is doing anymore, running long-term series.
Inside Job, despite only having one season and just being cancelled this week made it into 10th place in the ranking with a score of 7.7/10 from 21,852 ratings – pretty impressive in such a short time and understandable why the fans are so shocked.
