AMC's current streaming problems are emblematic of its inability to create and popularize content that enough viewers want to watch. But this has been happening for the better part of a decade now, even before streaming hit critical mass.
This is an interesting history of how AMC essentially invented prestige TV (outside of HBO) with Mad Men, followed it up with the mega-hit of Breaking Bad, and then the monster that was The Walking Dead, but failed to continue its success afterwards (and also touches on why TWD became a creative disappointment relative to the prior two). Subsequent original series like Halt and Catch Fire were also not marketed successfully, though I heartily disagree with his take that the title was bad.
