It was cancelled and then bought by Netflix. I was more sharing frustration at dropping a show they haven't invested in properly

I think the point was a bit that the ecology is not only truly alien, but also artificial in some way. Way too many things behaved like organic computer interfaces of some kind. I guess a later season would've revealed more, but well... Full agree on Pantheon though!

the main hook for me was the creativity of the lifeforms and I am miffed we won't get more because there's an underlying feeling that the planet is not natural, the symbiosis between so many things seems too specific and the way the planet interacted with the robot is suspicious, I want answers!

Absolutely loved it and want more. Common Side Effects is a collaboration between the creators and Mike Judge and is also great. Very different but also includes amazing visuals and story in a contemporary earth setting.
