Yikes. And this right after "The Wheel of Time's" cancellation just the 
other day.

I think Prime Video is going to be getting out of all programming that's 
not peak "Dad TV" (e.g. Reacher, The Boys, Cross). They haven't done 
well outside of Dad TV, and it really feels like they are drastically 
rolling back their original programming budgets in the last few months.
