There's been a ton of Blame on both the show being 'woke' and the internet hate machine. The first season was pretty good imo, well done outside he fact it was a TV show with limited resources. But the second season was so badly written. You can change all you want as far as I care, but they wrote that season after completely ignoring who any of the characters were in season 1. And giving them intentionally the opposite personality, and motivations from the books they were supposed to be adapting. It was just bizarre, and insulting to watch, I get why Cavill bailed, anyone with the financial means should have done the same.

But it wasn't because they had black actors, female characters that talked and wore clothes, or mentioned empathy, and it didn't fall out of favor with audiences because internet trolls stank on it. It was just badly done in ways that felt lazy and dumb.
