Why Was It Cancelled? This show never counted as a big hit in the ratings and its numbers dropped notably in its second year, only averaging a 0.11 rating based on same-day viewing for the 18-49 demographic with the BBC American simulcast numbers included. That had the show down by 43% from its first season and it was not seeing much in the way of delayed viewing gains. It did wrap up its main storyline, so it does not leave viewers on a cliffhanger. Whether fans will make a Call to Action and lobby for this one to move to another venue remains to be seen. More on the cancellation at this link.
