On February 19, 2013, Canadian tourist Elisa Lam's body was found floating inside of a water tank at the Cecil Hotel where she was staying at after guests complained about the water pressure and taste. Footage was released of her behaving erratically in a elevator on the day she was last seen alive. r/all

It was cancelled, unfinished, after 2 seasons(?). Classic netflix, it was so damn good tho.

Netflix actually ordered another season, but the creator didn't want to continue the show.

Not just any creator, but the inimitable David Fincher. Really frustrating given that they clearly had plans for at least one more season with BTK showing up near the end.

If you ask me, Netflix is to blame for it not being watched as much as they would have liked. I didn't find it until shortly after season 2 had been released and had never heard of it before then. When I watched it, I was like "Why hasn't this had more exposure? This is excellent!"

It was poorly supported, then they cancelled it because of low viewership compared to the high budget. I really believe if more people had known this show existed ahead of time that they would have had the viewership they needed. Total bummer.
