A second tweeted: "Sadden by this news. #Gentefied portrayed the multi-generational Latino immigrant experience that many of us identified within this country. #RepresentationMatters."
Many more were unhappy with the news. "Ugh this is so frustrating! We need more LatinX content/stories not more cancellations of the few shows we do have #Gentefied," said a third, as a fourth commented: "My heart just dropped and shattered. I love this show so much and I was hoping to be a part of it. Latino shows deserve more. #Gentefied @netflix @contodonetflix."
Netflix users often get frustrated at the number of shows that leave the platform. At the end of 2021, the website confirmed six series were no longer going to be available to stream including Homeland and Sons of Anarchy, as well as beloved sitcoms Modern Family and New Girl.
