A limited series format could also free networks and studios from the awkward burden of having to cancel a regular series after just one season. Back in October, Netflix caught heat for axing a bevy of shows, most of which were led by women, people of color, or LGBTQ+ focused.

Twitter and Facebook banned President Donald Trump, Apple and Google removed Parler—the preferred platform for many of his followers—from their app stores, and Amazon stopped hosting the service.
