Thought this was an interesting question and I’m sure there’s lots of suggestions out there.

1899

I'm still heartbroken Netflix cancelled it because it had the unfortunate timing of airing at the same time as Wednesday. The directors' previous series, "Dark", was a proper mindfuck.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dark was amazing. I didn't bother with 1899 after I heard that it was cancelled.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I think I'm developing a fear of commitment with shows these days, with so many cancelations

Sense8. There's nothing else quite like it. I really wanted to see more of that story, I'll never forgive Netflix for cancelling it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Mindhunter, without a doubt.

I'm still sad when I think of what could've been

Pushing Daisies

At least we got serenity to kinda tie up lose ends

Hi Randall Munroe!

Firefly. There is no other answer for me.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Altered Carbon! season 2 was left open ended because it was supposed to get a 3rd season.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Unironically Mindhunter. I'm so mad it's been canceled. Such a great show.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Adventure Time. It really needed one more season to fully flesh out the storylines they set up. Cartoon Network really screwed them (and other shows like SU) over

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Prodigy (Star Trek) just got canceled, that's on my mind right now. They had a lot of story left to tell.

I need more Veridian Dynamics.

Also, casting Linda as Ted Lasso's wife and having her say "Ted" was one of the most jarring experiences I've had watching TV. All suspension of reality was completely broken.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I noticed that too!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Final Space.

Olan had one season left before the company buried the show as a tax write off

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Reading this made me look it up. Final Space was more than a one season show?? Guess I have some catching up to do.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If you missed it, Olan got a deal to put out a hardback graphic novel tying up the show, called Final Space Ends. Upside: a real ending. Downside: not a show, not available digitally(one of Warner's conditions), and it's $125. Tentatively scheduled to ship late next year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So realistically it doesn't have an ending, because there is a zero percent chance I will ever pay $125 for it...

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Deadwood. The movie was too little way too late.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As a HUGE deadwood fan, i agree. Its probably my overall #1 favorite show of all time. I felt like the movie was Milch calling in before his disease took him completely.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The OA. Fuck Netflix for canceling it.

Also 1899.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I probably shouldn't be surprised, but I can't freaking believe that someone has the same two answers as me. We'll get through this, friend.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

i can think at least three reasons:

  • great minds think alike
  • those are great shows
  • netflix sucks
[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Game of thrones, but it’s the new series 7 and it rewrites original 7 and 8 and they don’t exist anymore.

People have already beaten me to Firefly over and over again so I'll add one likely to have been forgotten:

Carnivale.

Ended on an unbelievable cliffhanger, left SO MUCH unanswered, could've run for another decade. I'm re-mad that this show got canceled now.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

The Expanse. The show had a satisfying ending but the books went a bit further into the future and I'd like to see more in the shows.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Better off Ted

Pushing Daisies

ETA: I should've finished reading this thread. Of course these two would be mentioned!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Dirk Gently, the BBC America/Netflix one.

First season, phenomenal! Second season was pretty good, not as good as the first but still good. It set up a lot of things that were then not continued and I just want to know what they had planned.

Also Snowpiercer: You've filmed it, you've edited it, just let us see it!

(Edit: posted this as a reply to someone else. My bad!)

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Live action Cowboy Bebop. Loved that show, idc what people said.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Expanse, of course

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Dead Like Me

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Pushing Daisies never got the ending it deserved. Everything had to be hastily wrapped up in one entire episode, third season setups were just left as loose ends, and it really didn't do such a great show justice

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Stargate Universe! The way it ended was so unfair and yet the perfect setup for something new. There’s been rumors brewing for years and years at this point but nothing concrete has happened yet.
