They took forever to build out the characters and the story. Good production for a series, but had the worst pacing. Sadly, their build up now leaves you hanging. I am not sure why Amazon is cancelling their series, without proper finales. I am guessing this has to do with overspending on Bond.
Similar to Netflix's approach, they most likely found that viewership drops sharply after the first 2 or 3 seasons, so more money to be made elsewhere.
But similar to Netflix, they'll find that people aren't willing to give things a chance and will associate all your original productions with crap, if you keep doing it.
Also true, but that's not what shareholders and executives care about. They just want the next quarterly profits to go up to get their payouts
