I would definitely have stayed with it if the show had come back for a second season, but this one doesn't sting as much as "Legends of Tomorrow" did.

Yep. When you look at the shows that were renewed, they're mostly the ones that would find a comfortable home on HBO Max or Paramount+.

It was fun how all of the flashbacks to Naomi's journey to Earth took the iconography of Superman's journey from Krypton to Earth, and skewed it.

And if the show doesn't get renewed for a second season, that was an insanely dark twist to end on.

I just watched what appears to be the series finale. I think the twist at the end of the show would not have been there if they knew it was cancelled. Everything else was a satisfying finale. We can see a route to how things would progress, but that extra bit left me with with a bad taste. Just too much to resolve with that knowledge.

I just took a look at the Naomi entry in the DC Database wiki. A lot of it follows pretty much to what we saw, but

Spoiler: this was interesting

- in the comic there was no Brutus. Instead, the name of the big bad is Zumbado. That explains some of how things played out in the early episodes where it looked like he was a bad guy. They clearly were playing around with the people who read the comic and "knew" Zumbado. And then they switched things up as a surprise in the TV series.

Yup. That was something that I caught early on (I'd read the comic). I didn't bring it up because I was assuming that that's where they were going, and I didn't want to spoil it for people.
