Netflix cancels what could’ve been the next Virgin River even though the series had more views than Ransom Canyon

The reformed Oasis band are currently touring, and singing to Sally about how it's unwise to put your heart in the hands of a rock'n'roll band. Maybe they should write a sequel to warn her of something equally heartbreaking: getting too involved with season one of any streaming show. That's right: yet another promising streaming series has bitten the dust after just one season.

This week's casualty is The Waterfront on Netflix, which was getting decent viewing numbers (it was the most-watched show on Netflix for a week in April, outpacing the number of views that Ransom Canyon saw during its first week) but left many critics cold – although not at The Guardian, who described it as "Dawson's Creek for grown-ups" and "perfect summer nonsense". We thought it had the potential to be a new Virgin River, but just two months after it debuted on Netflix the show has been canned.
