Santa Clarita Diet wasn't that great and I'm okay it got canceled

Everyone keeps saying Netflix killed a masterpiece when they axed Santa Clarita Diet after 3 seasons. But I watched all of it and the jokes got really repetitive by season 2. Drew Barrymore did her thing but the zombie premise ran out of steam around episode 15 for me. Did anybody else actually get bored before the cliffhanger?

Honestly I think the show worked better as a binge watch years later than week to week... the pacing just felt off when you had to wait between episodes for the same joke to land again.

Yeah, totally agree. Binge watching hides a lot of the bad pacing and repetitive jokes. When you're watching it all in one go, you don't notice how many times they use the same punchline. But waiting a week for a recycled bit? That gets old fast. It's like the show was built for streaming, not cable.
