I don't really get the hype. I had never watched it and started last year. I've watched 9 episodes so far, and I believe only 11 originally aired. It's an interesting concept of a space western, but the plotlines aren't anything super interesting. The cast seems decently likeable. But I honestly have no clue what made people like it so much.
In fact, I'm not really surprised it got cancelled. Sci-fi isn't really a huge draw to begin with, and this just seemed like a weird mashup. And I don't know that anything in the next 5 episodes would somehow make it some otherworldly show that deserves such massive praise.
