The only thing I would say is a lot of shows have rough first seasons. Even classics like Star Trek: TNG had an extremely uneven first season. Babylon 5 season 1 was pretty bad despite leading into probably the best 3 seasons of TV I’ve ever watched.
Exceptions like Heroes and Battlestar Galactica are rare.
The Acolyte has some rough edges but it seemed to promise a much better season 2.
Thing is, except for technically Babylon 5, which didn’t really have that bad a season 1, shows that could recover were all episodic shows that didn’t build on the story as it went along.
The Acolyte would have had to ass pull at levels that would make The Rise of Skywalker blush to fix that story. It was as expensive as a theatrical release and was losing them subscribers. It simply wasn’t salvageable.
