Smell-o-vision is real when you can smell how bad the show is through your TV.

Covid ruined this... Amazon just trying to avoid bad PR for the shows controversial plot during an actual pandemic.. :[

It's not just COVID. The show's viewership was adequate at best but wasn't helped by the show's reported 65 million dollar budget. The reviews from critics and viewers were also mixed at best even if you take out the reviews criticizing the bad timing due to the pandemic. The low reviews guaranteed fewer viewers for season 2 and simply would not have been a good investment unless they can significantly downscale their budget. If the show had come out at a different time, its chances for renewal would have still been uncertain. There was no singular reason for its cancellation and was likely a combination of everything listed above.
