A slew of Netflix‘s original series have ended up on the chopping block in recent month, but it looks like the loss of one has hit fans particularly hard. On Wednesday, Netflix announced the cancellation of two of its original series, including the adult animated series Tuca & Bertie.

Tuca & Bertie, which stars Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong as two 30-year-old bird-women, debuted on Netflix in May of this year. The series, which is created by BoJack Horseman producer Lisa Hanawalt, brought a bizarre and authentic take on female friendship and life in your 30s, and resonated with an ever-growing number of fans in the process.
With all of that in mind, the news that Tuca & Bertie was canceled has left fans pretty heartbroken, with some arguing that the series never really got the chance to find a mainstream audience among the many other Netflix originals. Here are just a few of those responses.

Not Happy
I’m honestly mad(!!!!) about Tuca & Bertie not getting picked up for a second season. I can’t remember the last time I so eagerly awaited (and then enjoyed!) a tv show! And let’s be honest: Netflix could have done a much better job about promoting it!!!!!!!

Dun Goofed
Livid over Netflix dropping Tuca & Bertie. It has one of the most realistic portrayals of female friendship I’ve seen in adult animation, let alone media. Not to mention the humor and grace it used to cover serious topics. Netflix dun goofed. #RenewTucaandBertie pic.twitter.com/7deNMRgBEc

Heartbroken
It’s so heartbreaking as an artist to know that things that you’ve genuinely adored a la Tuca & Bertie, Spiderverse and Kubo struggled to get enough audience numbers when they’ve been some of the most inspiring work you’ve seen in years.

It’s Puzzling
So @netflix canceled a show called Tuca & Bertie, presumably because not enough people watched

Fix your damn algorithm
It Has Layers
Tuca & Bertie addresses friendships, relationships, sobriety, and trauma in a way that brings laughs and healing. Plus pastries! Plus giant crabs! Plus so much more! Unique, essential, woman-led: we need this. Networks, pick up this gem! #renewtucaAndBertie pic.twitter.com/hJlbtm3cmw

Good Point
Tuca & Bertie should be on TV until we’ve had at least 2 women presidents.
