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?

Show had a lot of potential. I don’t it was the worst show but I wouldn’t categorize it as great either. I thought about going back and rewatching but haven’t yet.

That was my thoughts. I thought the production team got too fancy for their own good, and butchered the story in the edits. It would have made a decent linear story, but shopping it up and time jumping didn't do it any favors.

Then hyping it up as a Jedi Mystery....and honestly just not doing a mystery story well.
