Why Was It Cancelled? This series spent four weeks in the Netflix Top 10, hitting the Number 1 slot in its second week and averaging 32.6 million hours watched per week. In addition, it received good marks from critics and viewers, currently holding a 97% Tomatometer Score (based on critics’ reviews) and 79% Popcornmeter Score (based on audience response) at Rotten Tomatoes.  However, it apparently did not satisfy the completion rate numbers that the streamer was looking for, which tracks how many viewers completed the current season within a set amount of time, and the show was cancelled.  You can read more about the cancellation at this link.
