Citadel is, in some ways, the ultimate Amazon TV show—and that includes the very real chance that anyone you know who isn’t extremely plugged into the world of streaming TV might not have the first clue what it is. The show, reportedly the second-most expensive TV series of all time, epitomizes much of the Amazon streaming playbook over the last few years, what with throwing huge amounts of money at big-name talent (both in front of, and behind the camera, including the noted contributions of Avengers guys Joe and Anthony Russo) in order to produce something that critics and audiences alike greeted with a noncommittal shrug. Amazon nevertheless raced to commission a second season, while also continuing plans to roll out more international spin-offs as part of a wide-reaching global domination scheme. Now, though, those plans have apparently hit a hitch.
