Nah, I think Winning Time's issue was the strike.
Shows like this really rely on the star power/actors doing the promo runs. With the strikes none of that was possible.
They had two endings prepared. One they would go with if it looked like they would get renewed, the other for if it was more likely they wouldnt get renewed.They filmed the ending making it the series finale in January.
HBO told the Winning Time producers to prepare for the possibility that the show might end with Season 2 “back in January while we were still in production,” executive producer Kevin Messick tells Vulture. “They said, ‘Think about it so that you have the option while you’re still in production to figure out how it might end if, sadly, that was the end of it.’ So we did get a chance to prepare, which we appreciated.”
The finale originally ended with the L.A. Lakers losing in heartbreaking fashion to the Boston Celtics in the 1984 NBA Finals. But the producers tacked on an optimistic epilogue with Jerry Buss and his daughter Jeanie toasting to their good fortune, along with a montage that told us where all the key players ended up. “To be clear, we never planned creatively to end at the ’84 Finals,” Messick stresses, adding that they prepared two different versions of the finale: one that ended with the Lakers losing, and one with the epilogue and montage, in case they were cancelled. (The former version was the one initially sent out to critics at the start of Season 2.)

I don’t know how much longer discovery can carry this dead weightHBO is flabby right now. Nothing to watch the rest of the year
Bottom line, the only streaming platforms that's eating good and putting out piff are Peacock and Netflix. Most of these streaming services are suffering hard from the writer's strike, its going to get to the point where Hollywood going to either cut the check or embrace the reality era to a tee. I'm talking about throwing dollars at TikTawkers and YouTube dikk gobblers, since them blokes can do shyt for viral and half the profits of an actor and writer.
