Status: This show did not make it into the Nielsen Streaming Rankings for its first-year run, but it has received decent marks from critics and viewers on Rotten Tomatoes, currently holding a 74% Fresh Rating and an 80% Audience Score. Members of the cast have indicated that they would like to return for a second season, but the has been no word on its fate a year after it premiered. At this point, I am considering it a one-and-done casualty of the Peak TV Crunch, and I am moving it to Ended Status. There is still a chance it could return at some point, though, and fans should make some noise on the social networks to bring it some attention.
