Status: This animated sci fi series did not make it into the Nielsen Streaming Rankings for its premiere week, but it has been getting very high marks from critics and viewers, currently holding a 100% Fresh Rating and 96% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. While the first season did tell a complete story, executive producers Sean Buckelew and James Merrill have indicated that they have mapped out two more seasons for the show. But with Warner Bros. Discovery in talks with Paramount about merging, more shakeups could be on the way and I don’t like this one’s chances amidst all of that. Fans will definitely want to make some noise on the social networks to bring this one some more attention and improve its chances.
