Although actual streaming numbers were never revealed for the series, the reviews for the series were not in favor of the show. The series launched back on September 25th and received a 51 percent rating among critics on RottenTomatoes.com but does not have an audience score. This was the perfect recipe for a show to get cancelled.
The show starred John Cusack which also included Sasha Lane, Rainn Wilson, Ashleigh LaThrop, Desmin Borges, Farrah Mackenzie and Christopher Denham. Other shows that were announced by Amazon to end this upcoming season are The Expanse for a sixth and final season, Bosh and Goliath in 2021. Amazon’s scripted slate includes returning series Hunters, The Boys, Carnival Row, Jack Ryan and the forthcoming The Lord of the Rings, A League of Their Own and The Peripheral, among others.
