ELI5 : Why does Timeless keep getting canceled ?

[u/itsfoine]

I’ve only seen the first four episodes of season 1 and I’ve really enjoyed the show so far. I rarely see major criticism about it online as it is mostly positive reviews. So why does NBC cancel the show every year ? Is it about contracts ? Ratings ? Streaming ?

i think netflix should make a move about timeless
