As Netflix has ramped up its original show production, it has also had to do some high-profile canceling, even cutting some fan favorites.

Most recently, Netflix announced that it would cancel comedian Maria Bamford's "Lady Dynamite" after two seasons. The show was well-received by critics, though was less of a hit with audiences.

This brings Netflix's tally of canceled shows up to about 15 (depending on how you count). Some shows have been canceled abruptly without a chance for a final season and conclusion. But others including "Love," "House of Cards," and "Bloodline" got warning and were able to wrap things up.

If Netflix CEO Reed Hastings gets his way, expect even more shows to get canceled in the future.

"We've canceled very few shows," Hastings said in 2017. "I'm always pushing the content team. We have to take more risk. You have to try more crazy things. Because we should have a higher cancel rate overall."
