Peacock's Hidden Gem 8-Part Spy Thriller Still Deserves a Second Chance

Television has always been a somewhat cut-throat market. Long before streaming evolved into the norm, networks swung the cancellation sword that cut innumerable shows off before their time. In all fairness, no company can stay afloat without turning a profit. Still, streamers cancelling their unique and highly promising original series before they can gather word-of-mouth traction — breaking through the oversaturated landscape takes time; just look at the explosively organic success of Widow's Bay — has become commonplace enough to be a cliché in its own right.
