I’m not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if a canceled show can decide to not be canceled? Like a “both parties must agree to the break-up” situation? That’s not how it works. A show can’t continue if there’s no network to fund it and air it. But a show can decide to end on its own terms before being canceled if the showrunners think the story has run its course.

Yes, the latter. I figured as much, because despite shows being “good” to suddenly be cancelled makes me believe there were two sides in the negotiations, perhaps.

Also "good" and profitable are different.

But typically mutually inclusive. Although generally it comes down to semantics.

Its inherently subjective but hard to show that.

Mike Schur ended The Good Place by his own choice after four seasons, because he felt he'd told all the story he wanted to, and anything else would be filler.
