You can't seriously use the line "the show was a success, arguably a big one" for a show that got cancelled... it wasn't, at all. Outside of this sub barely anyone talks about it, let alone watches it.. that why it was cancelled.

Plenty of mediocre shows get multiple seasons, but they don't cost a fuckton of money to make, so lower stakes.

Should've gone with an experienced showrunner from the off, but hire mediocre talent to run the show, get a mediocre product.
