This is the latest in a list of Netflix shows that have been killed by the pandemic after the streaming service decided that there wouldn’t be enough of an audience left to bring them back once things calm down

I can only assume the average 45 supporter reads the name Gilgamesh and thinks “that dude from the Smurfs was pretty epic.”
