Netflix officially cancelled "Sense8" for unknown reasons, and fans are angry. Critics celebrated "Sense8" for exploring difficult themes about gender, sexuality, politics and identity in ways that no other TV show has ever dared. Some critics even call it the "Best LGBT TV Show" ever. But others point out the show was wildly expensive, costing around $9 million per episode. Some believe Netflix is trying to control costs in order to try new things with original content. What do you think?

PERSPECTIVES

Fans loved "Sense8" because it is the only show that's been truly dedicated to diversity in all its forms. The Daily Beast's Samantha Allen writes it's the "best LGBT TV show" because of how beautifully it depicts LGBT characters in the story. She writes:

For many people, "Sense8" was the first time they saw something they could relate to in media. The show tackled tough subjects deftly and without fear. That's nearly impossible to find in a TV show.

It's unclear exactly why Netflix cancelled "Sense8," but it probably comes down to the numbers. Despite being a hit with its audience, the TV show failed to garner wide appeal like "Stranger Things" or "Orange Is the New Black." Some people are speculating that Netflix is pulling the plug because the show simply wasn't worth it. Each episode cost around $9 million and if that didn't translate into subscriptions and audience, it doesn't make sense for Netflix to renew. At the end of the day, it's still a business.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings also signaled Netflix is going to be more aggressive with trying new things and cancelling TV shows that don't work. It wants more hits and it can only do that if it frees up money to fund new projects.

Here's how people are reacting to the news:

Good job, Netflix👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 A show about the diversity means nothing at all. You should expect millions to unsubscribe#Sense8 #netflix — stop this (@Sad_kitkat) June 1, 2017

I didnt enjoy #sense8, couldnt get into it. Having a diverse show doesnt stop the fact that its not that great. — HaydnC (@ThatsSoHaydn) June 1, 2017

Am I the only one who didn't like Sense8 that much ... Knowing Netflix they'll probably re-use the actors for something else anyway — Bertha Tweet Services 📮 (@SixHate) June 1, 2017
