Don't fucking cancel this show. Ugh its so annoying that quality shows don't get the praise/viewership it deserves.
As someone else posted, SyFy is hyper aware that their demographic is highly likely to watch via streaming and purchasing options. They stated as much the first season and talked a lot about how to capitalize on that and shift almost their entire offering of shows to make more money off that. And who knows what those numbers look like.
To another poster, Alcon does pay for it, so it's highly likely someone else will pick up on the high quality of the show and champion it as their own (a la Netflix). The problem is if they really are burning the ~5 million an episode number that has floated around, that is a biiiiiig number to keep paying for if you don't have a buyer. The SFX, sound, and sets are all amazing, but if someone were to foot the bill, they'd certainly want it to be smaller.
Saw it earlier today. Fucking awesome, I'm really liking Bobbie so far, which was a large concern of mine. It's obvious they're using camera trickery to maker her look bigger than she is, but I think she's pulling off the acting well.
I thought so at first too, turns out she's massive.
My biggest complaint about the first two episodes is we didn't see nearly enough hair flipping from Miller ):
