Free Advice to @Netflix
In your menu, beside every series of 15 episodes or less, tell the audience if it’s a Work In Progress (WIP) or COMPLETE (with an ENDING that you will air).
Yes, there are unfinished paintings and symphonies that are still masterpieces. But they’re usually not NARRATIVE.
Consider: OUR TIME is as valuable as YOUR $$.

This portrait of a Spanish noblewoman—herself an artist and a member of the Academia de San Fernando—is both haunting and enigmatic. It is a version of a work that passed down through the sitter’s family and was probably painted at the time of her second marriage in 1775, symbolized by the ring she holds and the faithful lapdog whose shape is left in reserve. We cannot say with any certainty why the portrait was left unfinished and then altered, with her facial features covered as if by a veil. The final result appeals to modern sensibilities and is almost surrealist in its obliteration of identity.
