Streaming services canceling shows after one season on a cliffhanger

Why bother investing 8 hours into watching a well-crafted, original show when you know the network will cancel it six weeks later because it didn't hit a ridiculous global viewership threshold in its first weekend? Stop dropping full seasons with zero promotion and then blaming audience interest!

Why are movie dialogue tracks so quiet and action scenes so deafeningly loud?

I spent the entire two-hour movie holding the remote like a volume controller. Whispered dialogue: volume up to 45. Suddenly an explosion or car chase happens: volume down to 12 before the speakers blow out! Why can't sound engineers balance audio for normal home setups instead of IMAX theaters?
