I'm still looking for the part where you convince me how that makes the show any good.

A high budget mess is still a bloody mess.

If it doesn't create any returns on those investments they will axe it.

High returns? That's a big overestimation.

It might be their biggest show. But C5's biggest show is still a small show overall.

I meant wouldnt.

There is no way they will axe the only show that gets them millions of viewers when no other show gets above 1 million

Again, spending so much money on it means it's more likely they will. It doesn't matter what the viewing figures are if the budget outweighs the profit.

This

People put money towards a business but if they don't make much they will close down. the same happens with TV shows, low ratings mean they are not getting much from it so they have to axe it.
