Netflix mocked over Regina King ‘Seven Seconds’ Emmy-win tweet

Netflix

• Regina King won the Emmy for lead actress in a limited series
  on Monday for Netflix’s “Seven Seconds.”
• Netflix tweeted “REGINA KING DESERVES THE WORLD” in response
  to her win.
• The tweet was quickly mocked, because Netflix canceled “Seven
  Seconds” earlier this year after one season.

Netflix is thrilled over Regina King’s Emmy win for her
performance on its show “Seven Seconds,” but the streaming giant
is being mocked for its enthusiasm.

King won her third Emmy on Monday for Outstanding Lead Actress in
a Limited Series (she previously won in 2015 and 2016 for
Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for “American Crime”).

The Netflix description for “Seven
Seconds” is, “The death of a 15-year-old African American
boy in Jersey City sets off a police cover-up and a search for
the truth.” It was meant to be an anthology series about race and
crime in America.

Netflix responded to King’s win by tweeting: “REGINA KING
DESERVES THE WORLD.” The problem? It canceled “Seven Seconds” in
April after only one season.

It didn’t take long for people on Twitter to point that out.

Below are some responses to the tweet:
