The most popular streaming service in the world continues to churn out content left and right, releasing original shows and movies on what seems to be a daily basis. Netflix has an original program for just about every need, which sounds like a great idea on the surface. However, the process of creating content has turned into a “throw things at the wall and see what sticks” sort of deal for the streamer, resulting in a lot of originals being cancelled before really getting a chance to thrive. Such is the case for the very first Netflix original of 2020, Spinning Out.

Starring Kaya Scodelario as Kat Baker, Spinning Out is a drama about the world of competitive figure skating, created by former competitive skater Samantha Stratton. The premise is certainly unique, as there aren’t many figure skating shows out there on TV today, but the series only got one month on the service before the plug was pulled. According to a report from Deadline, Netflix has axed the series this week, following its debut on January 1st.

You may not have ever heard of Spinning Out, and that’s starting to become the major problem with Netflix’s original content. The streaming service gives the green light to all sorts of different shows that could potentially find an audience, but hardly any marketing resources are poured into them.
