Yeah this one so much. I think its still amazing and the two seasons can each kinda stand on their own, and still have satisfying endings, but just knowing that they had an entire 5 season arc planned out drives me crazy considering how great that show was.
I was so sad to hear about it getting canceled. It wasn't too long after the release of season 2.
Constantine series. Damn is it good
GLOW!
Covid really put the smackdown on that one
Obligatory Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles mention.
1899
Red Dwarf, but with both Naylor and Grant continuing on from before the split. It felt to me that the quality dropped once they fell out and Grant left.
GoT, shame it got cancelled after GRR ran out of material, what would a sixth and seventh series looked like? Not some badly written, overly nasty, fan fiction, but actual quality as we had in the earlier seasons and books?
True Detective season one, by that I mean actually carrying on that plot line with the abuse cult rather than the "reboots" with new casts and settings in the future seasons. Those are great, I still want those, but I also want more of what we had in season one.
Hannibal, its time to revisit this overly stylized wardrobe of a cooking show

Magic City
House of Cards
Santa Clarita Diet. It's not too late (6 years ago) and they could still bring it back for a finale run of episodes or film.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It's too late (16 years ago) but the show had just started to figure itself out and setup a HUGE cliffhanger that sadly goes nowhere.

Bookie. Possibly my favorite show ever.
I don't know if you guys have heard but there was this one sci-fi show on Fox that was aired out of order then canceled after only one season. It got a movie for some closure, but would have been nice to continue.
I forget the name... Burnybug or something like that... It's not very well known on the internet, so I'd be surprised if anyone else were to bring it up in a thread like this.

Mythbusters, junkyard wars.
Junkyard Wars! I would watch 100 seasons of that show!
There are a few good ones I'd love to see, but at the top of my list are Firefly and Sense8.

I'll mention one nobody has said yet: Kaos.
The last episode was definitely setting up a second reason that looked interesting, but then it never happened.
The Patriot on prime is one of the greatest tv shows I've ever seen, worth watching even though it was cancelled after 2 seasons. Barely anyone has watched it but it doesn't have a bad episode
Dark Matter
(The space one)
Canadian Sci-Fi starring Roger Cross is the best genre
Ash vs Evil Dead
Firefly. 100%. No question.
Crusade (Babylon 5 spinoff)
I’ll go with some not mentioned.
1899 - Same creators of Dark, so I feel like it would have been worth it.
Lie to Me- it was one of the “of the week” type shows that kept my interest back then
Freak and Geeks - Crazy it got one season. Almost every single cast member went on to be super famous.
Green Lantern The Animated Series. Would have been great to have a fully finished story for this.
