I dropped $15 a month on that new streaming service for a show that got canned after one season
Saw all the hype for 'Circuit Breaker', this sci-fi show about a mechanic who fixes alien tech. Looked right up my alley, you know? Signed up for the service just for it, paid the monthly fee for six months while it aired. The show was solid, had some cool ideas about how the tech worked. Then they announced it wasn't getting a second season right after the finale. So I basically paid $90 to watch a story that just stops dead. Now I'm stuck with a subscription to a service that has nothing else I want to watch. Does anyone else get burned by signing up for a single show that got axed too soon?

My buddy in Seattle paid for a whole year of that service just for that cooking competition show, and they pulled it after eight episodes.

That's the worst, but you can usually cancel right after the show ends. No need to keep paying if nothing else interests you.

Honestly the "cancel right after" advice is good but it forgets how sneaky some services are. They'll offer you a discount to stay for another month right at the cancel screen, which just resets the clock. Tbh I've fallen for that before and got charged again because I clicked too fast. You really have to read every pop-up and not just rush through it.
