Weeellll, "not well received" is more than a bit subjective, so it was kind of hard to tell from your initial comment that you personally don't think it'd be worth more seasons and not just that it'd be expensive to make but worth it if someone could cough up the money.

Tons of studios could easily afford it, and there's plenty of people who did like it – enough to get us 3 seasons anyhow

They cancelled it because there weren’t enough viewers for the high costs though.

But what's enough in this day and age? Enough to cover costs? Enough so that the studio execs can buy 5 new yachts per year instead of just 3? I have no idea how much they were actually making off WoT

Enough is enough to make it to next season amd cover the salary increases for the cast and crew plus make profit to invest in the next major IP.
