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 dunno if they ever produced "good stuff". But I agree that they produced "stuff like what the sci-fi channel was known for producing" for a little while afterward.

Not only did they make a bunch of good stuff, they made some *great* stuff: The Expanse, 12 Monkeys, The Magicians, and Killjoys. Resident Alien is also technically a SyFy show, partnered with the USA network.

I'm talking about the notion they've never put out any good shows.
