If Netflix had released "The Burroughs" weekly like "Widow's Bay" would it have gotten a season 2? We'll never know. But not doing anything to promote it is a big problem. Why spend millions of dollars and years of work on an original story receiving good reviews only to dump it with no fanfare?
The way Netflix operates is so strange. They spend millions on a show like "The Burroughs" then do no promotion or events for it, and it drops out of their top 10 after only a few weeks to be replaced by an old "HBO Max" show they licensed that hardly anyone watched when it was originally airring.
