What makes a streaming hit? Desperate fans 'game the system' to save favorite shows

LOS ANGELES — Nikki Rodriguez wants Netflix to renew its fantasy series "Shadow and Bone" — so much so that she has watched its second season 15 times.

She's promoted fan videos on social media to court new viewers for the show. The New York resident also created a Change.org petition that has about 1,800 signatures.

"It's unfortunate they are making the fans wait so long," said 47-year-old Rodriguez, who's been in limbo since the latest episodes debuted in March. "We're really rallying to get the show renewed."
