Axing 'Atlantis' unfair: Co-creator

London: "Atlantis" co-creator Johnny Capps has said it was "unfair" to axe the show before its second series had finished airing.

Capps said that the BBC "had to decide" the fantasy drama's fate within the first six episodes of series two transmitting, reported Digital Spy.

"That was unfair because you're making a judgement before the series is even finished - how are you supposed to know how it will be received by the audience? In the middle of the episodes shown before Christmas there was a bit of a drop in viewing figures - but it picked up again towards the end," Capps said.

"When 'Breaking Bad' started, it had its own difficulty with viewing figures. The second series had a dip, but because it then went on to Netflix, the audience grew.

"It is considered one of the best shows ever and yet had it been on the BBC - or any of the terrestrial channels - it might have been axed, too."
