It's too bad there couldn't be a serious adoption, but I totally understand why it would be hard finding enough of an audience for this kind of work.

What I don't understand is why Netflix tried. You can't dump out a short season of eight episodes all at once for people to finish in three days and then expect any sort of fandom or momentum to build. After rushing through this without time for any sort of attachment to the characters or worldbuilding, who's even going to remember 18 months from now (if they didn't read the books) what happened in season one?
