I haven’t read the book, and I should. The series was really good. Too bad they cancelled it for being too expensive.

- an0malous 1y agoPeople don’t cancel things because they’re expensive, costs are a known and predictable quantity. They cancel things because they don’t make enough to justify the costs.

They delays spiked the costs of an already expensive show (S1 cost an estimated $175M) which made it less tenable for Amazon. This happened to quite a few shows during the pandemic and during the strikes – renewed because it made financial sense, then pandemic/strike spiked the cost, and then they canceled the renewal.
- keiferski 1y agoI liked the first half of the series, but it gradually became a generic superhero show. The book, however, is excellent- definitely recommend.
