Reportedly, Netflix [http://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] has cancelled the
new show First Kill just after its first season. Emma Roberts was the executive
producer of the teen vampire drama series. The show starred Sarah Catherine Hook
and Imani Lewis and made its way to the Top 10 mostly viewed shows for English
language TV series. With the show having a unique angle for the first time in a
while, fans were into the show. Hence, understandably, fans were up in the arms
when Netflix got rid of their new favorite.

The angry fans flood Twitter with tweets comparing First Kill with Heartstopper
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/heartstopper].

[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-why-netflix-cancels-shows/]

Having a total viewership duration of 30.3 M hours in just three days, the show
ranked seventh after Stranger Things
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things] at position 3. Given the first
two weeks’ record, the show peaked at number 3 before falling off the Top 10. By
the time it was 28 days old, the show had swiftly crossed the mark of 100M hours
by the viewers.


WHAT WAS THE SHOW ABOUT?

Rated TV mature for violence and sexual content, the occasional cursing, the
series was based on a vampire lovestory. Teenage demographic is the kind of
setting that runs in the background of the show. Set in highschool, the show has
two girls trying to find their place. One is a teenage vampire who sets her eyes
on a new girl for her first kill. The other is a vampire hunter from the family
of celebrated slayers.



Both of them go through a rollercoaster of a sexual tension. Initially thirsty
for one another’s blood, the two leads fall in love with each other at the end
of the first series. Even though it had a good line of tropes, the show really
didn’t progress so well.

[http://netflix.com] on this one? Or was this an unjust cancellation? Comment
