Stunning work again K!

I watched the first episode of Black Lightning, and I couldn't really get into it.

I haven't seen Harley Quinn though. It sounds like it is worth a try

Don't know how black lighting is still going and marvels shows get cancelled especially how good daredevil and punisher shows were really good.
so much better than black lightning.

The quality of the Marvel/Netflix shows had almost nothing to do with their cancellation.

It gets complicated, but the easiest way to explain it is this...

Marvel Television (not Marvel Studios, which makes the MCU movies) made Daredevil and the other shows and sold the streaming rights to Netflix. Despite solid reviews for Daredevil (and less solid reviews for some of the others), Netflix likely grew tired of paying for shows that they didn't fully own, especially when popularity in those shows were waning. When rumors of Disney+ started to emerge, Netflix saw no advantage in continuing to pay Disney/Marvel Television for shows that were being produced by their soon-to-be competitor.

Since the cancellation of the Netflix shows, Marvel Television has been shut down and everything is now under the supervision of Kevin Feige at Marvel Studios. This is why Agents of SHIELD is wrapping up with its current season, and shows like Runaways (on Hulu) and Cloak & Dagger (on FreeForm) were cancelled. The Fox/Marvel shows like The Gifted and Legion died with the Disney/Fox merger.

With all of these other shows out of the way, Marvel Studios can now make the Disney+ shows and directly tie them into the overall storyline of the MCU. Despite what some people say, none of the previous Marvel Television shows ever truly connected with the films. The shows tried to syphon popularity from the movies by including little easter eggs and references, but the movies never referenced the shows (outside of the brief Edwin Jarvis cameo in Avengers: Endgame).

On the DC/CW/Warner Bros. side of things, it's much simpler.

Warner Bros. owns DC Comics and the CW Network. They make their own shows to air on their own networks and don't have to share the profits with anyone else. When they sell the streaming rights to something like Netflix or Hulu, they get more money. When they sell DVD's and Blu-rays, they get that money too.

The CW is also a smaller network and doesn't need to pull in the kinds of ratings required by a major network like ABC, NBC, CBS, or even FOX. If Smallville or Supernatural were on a major network, they never would have lasted 10+ seasons. This is why Arrow ran as long as it did, and the rest of the Arrowverse shows keep going as well. It's why Supergirl moved from CBS to the CW after it's first season.

Outside of Swamp Thing, which was cancelled because of high production costs for the small DC Universe streaming service, DC/WB has been very good about letting their shows run their course and not cancelling them prematurely. They can do this because they can afford to do it. Syndication deals, streaming deals, and physical releases for these shows keep them making money and they can keep it all for themselves.

The quality of a show is rarely ever the reason for its renewal or cancellation. It's often about money and corporate politics.

Thanks kernie82 for the information.
shame because jessica jones season 1 really liked was something new and different compared to to rest of netflix heroes, all daredevil and punisher were really good shows, luke cage not so much and iron fist was little bit better but left on a cliffhanger unfortunately.Wonder if they will continue on disney+ sometime.

I highly doubt that they will bring any of the Netflix shows back for Disney+. Never say never, but I wouldn't place any bets on it.

Despite what many fans might argue, the Netflix shows (and Agents of SHIELD, Inhumans, Runaways, and Cloak & Dagger) are not canon to the MCU films. The TV shows pretend to be canon by referencing things in the movies, but the movies have not repaid the favor.

It's also quite clear that Kevin Feige does not want to have the continuity of his MCU films (and Disney+ shows) saddled by the storytelling decisions of the various showrunners from the ABC/Netflix TV shows. I, for one, agree. While Daredevil and Punisher were great shows, if Feige acknowledges them as canon within the current MCU, then he's also locked into using some of the less favorable things from the shows, like the godawful Inhumans, Iron Fist, and even some elements of the Ghost Rider mythos from Agents of SHIELD.
