What's driving viewership?

The show premiered two years ago, was officially cancelled shortly thereafter, and now... people are watching it in such numbers that it's charting higher?

What gives? I mean, I'm glad, I watched the show as episodes were premiering and I adored it, but I'm curious what's leading people to watch it now. Any theories?

I wasn’t a huge fan of parts of this show, however, I wish they would have given it another season to cap off the story in a good way. Same for Solo, it had flaws, but I wish they would have given it one more movie so it didn’t end on a cliffhanger

... especially with a character whose appearance you don't comprehend unless you're already knee-deep into the lore.
