That doesn't mean Amazon always gets it right, however. Even beyond pilots Amazon doesn't pick up, the company seems to have a much quicker trigger finger than Netflix, and has killed a bunch of shows after just one season.
All told, Amazon has canceled seven shows, excluding Woody Allen's "Crisis in Six Scenes," which Allen seems to have axed himself (though it did also get panned by critics). Amazon recently canceled two shows related to F. Scott Fitzgerald: one based on an unfinished novel, and one about his wife, Zelda. Amazon is overhauling its strategy for original content, as CEO Jeff Bezos wants to make a hit like HBO's "Game of Thrones."
Here are the shows Amazon has killed, along with their critic and audience ratings from Metacritic (arranged by top critic rating):
