RIP: Here are the only 4 shows Netflix has ever canceled

Netflix has loudly rejected the "pilot" system of TV, instead ordering full seasons of shows before any of them air.

And since it began releasing original shows in 2013, Netflix has stuck by a remarkably high percentage of them for subsequent seasons. But even Netflix knows sometimes you have to cut your losses.

So far, Netflix has canceled four shows, not including "Bloodline," which will "conclude" after season three.

The worst of the bunch for Netflix was probably "Marco Polo," which The Hollywood Reporter estimated lost Netflix a whopping $200 million. And not all of them were panned by critics; remember, what Netflix cares about most is how a show can drive new subscribers and keep old ones.

Here are the four shows Netflix has killed, along with their critic and audience ratings from Metacritic:
