Yeah, this is a bummer. This show was much more enjoyable than "Rings of 
Power" (which is basically a mess), and I was looking forward to more 
seasons of it.

On the plus side, this massively increases the odds that I will simply 
drop Prime/Prime Video now. I don't think they have enough left to offer 
for me to keep subscribing (at least not yearly).
