See this is the thing, ratings were consistently low but the trailer got a SHIT TON of views. The official ratings are from the US where it seems they just didn't really promote the show much. I think that kinda set the show up for failure from the get go but then the shoddy pacing and drawn out seymour storyline was the final nail in the coffin

right, the pilot should have had WAY more views, when you don’t have that momentum you’re finished. i honestly think they shot themselves in the foot by delaying the series release so much; also think they might have done better had they released all at once (i think that’s always the case when a series has more of a mini-series vibe which i think this one did). i don’t think that formula works as well as it used to do when there’s not a primed fanbase and/or constant promotional material being released.
