Barton simultaneously responded to a tweet from the production company behind The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, once again referencing the Netflix series’ high critical and audience ratings.
On the Rotten Tomatoes platform, the fantasy production has a remarkable review score of 93 percent with many very positive votes. The audience average of 92 percent confirms that The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself could definitely win over an enthusiastic target group.
As usual, Netflix does not justify the cancellation of series like The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself. As a rule, the decision is due to too low streaming numbers.
