Netflix subscribers are still binge-watching a canceled drama which gets 'better by the season.'
The world's largest streaming service has a bit of a reputation for canceling shows after a season or two.
But then again, you've got those that have ran for a while - like Black Mirror and You - the latter of which has now aired its fifth and final season.

Still, with around 7,000 titles on its US platform, there are bound to be some TV shows you'll have missed over the years.
Despite initially releasing in 2019, fans are still only just discovering this two-season horror which has left them wanting more.
It sounds like a mix of both the Harry Potter and Twilight sagas - in the best possible way.

Starring iZombie's Jake Manley, the series follows college student Jack Morton as he joins the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose - a secret society that teaches and practices magic.
However, things get more complicated when Jack is forcibly initiated into a rival group - the Knights of Saint Christopher, werewolves who guard against the misuse of magic.
Over the course of the show's two seasons, Jack navigates betrayal, shifting alliances and personal loss - all while attempting to protect the people he cares about.
The series in question is called The Order.

You can watch its trailer below:
Fans say the series blends fantasy, drama, and dark comedy which keeps them 'on their toes.' Better yet, both seasons have been rated a perfect 100 percent by Rotten Tomatoes critics.
Reviewers praised the show's 'tongue in cheek' humor and its 'engaging characters.'

Fans, meanwhile, reckoned the show got better with each season - and many were gutted to see it canceled.
"I enjoyed Season 1. Great story line & characters. Season 2 continues to keep us wanting more. There is just the right amount of humor and drama," one person wrote.
A second described it 'great binge watching material,' as a third weighed in: "Great show with lots of unexpected twists. Totally binge worthy. Keeps you on your toes."

Meanwhile, a fourth even said season two's 'plot and story arc' was 'even better'.
Sadly, The Order was canceled by Netflix in 2020 after its two seasons - most likely due to underperforming viewing figures.
However, if a season three had happened, then it would have been a wild ride if by what creator Dennis Heaton had to say about possible plot lines.
"PS – Jack was totally going to raise Alyssa from the dead, but she was going to come back wrong. Like, Pet Sematary wrong. Probably possessed by Zecchia. And a whole bunch of other corpses were coming back with her." he wrote on Twitter.

Both seasons of The Order are available to stream now on Netflix.
