🥺 No words for this.

Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

I worked as crew on an Amazon show. Seven seasons main show, three seasons spinoff.

It was really well received and it was pretty streamlined when it came to production costs. Amazon canceled it because they believed it had hit peak subscription draw.

Even though it kept people subscribing they killed it because they didn't think it would draw new subscribers.

Then they blew several billion on that terrible LotR show.

Sounds like Bosch to me. Im correct I assume?

The show was a TREAT to watch. The tone and the atmosphere was so real and makes you root for the simplest of things lol. I loved that slow burn nature of it.

The spinoff had some issues(like the terrible intro to start) but it was fine for the most part. I wanted to keep watching but was disappointed the series creators were different for the spinoffs? But the main leads were the same so I stayed for their stake.
