Jeff Teague and Club 520 React to Netflix Canceling 'Starting 5'

'Starting 5' Cancellation Discussion

• 😔 Jeff Teague expresses disappointment over Netflix canceling the show 'Starting 5' after its second season, calling the second season "fire."
• 📉 The hosts note that the show was not visible on Netflix's Top 10 list, suggesting low viewership as a reason for cancellation.
• 💡 One host suggests that perhaps the show could have benefited from featuring younger players to potentially regain traction.

Reasons for Low Viewership
