Santa Clarita Diet. I just liked the characters, the actors have some real strong performances, and the plot was going down some interesting paths with the society of zombie hunters.

My name is Earl. One more season and it could have been perfect.

Westworld. It was the final sason, had already been renewed, was already in pre-production, and they paid all the actors. But new management trashed it for a tax writeoff

Better Off Ted was SO GOOD 😭

Edit: Almost forgot about Day 5. It was a Rooster Teeth webseries and some of that showed in the script and acting, tbh. But holy shit it was such a cool premise. Big mad that I'll probably never find out wtf happens to that world.

Cowboy Bebop, the live action one.

I know that a lot of teh fans of the original anime series hated it, but I never liked that and really enjoyed the live action one.

Also Star Trek: Prodigy.

the matt ryan one? yea they cancelled that too fast.

Firefly. Upset now and for forever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I still rewatch the series and movie every few years and get pissed off at the end all over again.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Yeah me too… but knowing how Josh Whedon operates, fuck Josh Whedon

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I'm not a big Terminator-head, only seen half of the movies, but that was the version of Terminator I really got into.

TSCC ENDING SPOILERS, STAY OUTThe decision to end the show by having John jump into the post-apocalyptic future was wild, from a production standpoint. You have this show that's in permanent danger of being cancelled and you go "What if we set up our ending so the next season is guaranteed to blow the budget because we can't just film in present-day California any more?" It was a great hook, but I wonder whether they could have gotten a third season if they'd presented a smaller target.

I loved this show! But the abrupt "ending" just left so many plot points unanswered that I can't rewatch it at all, because I get disappointed. The acting was quite impressive, especially Lena Hedley (Sarah Connor), who went on to play Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones

The forever answer to this is Firefly.

But as for others: Babylon 5, Threshold, Black Books.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't think Black Books was cancelled as such, I just think Dylan Moran was done.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Are we not counting cancellations by the writers?

The Santa Clarita Diet

It was stupid fun and a different take on the zombie genre with black humor (making death or violence humorous..not the racist one) and only had about one more season to wrap things up

Fuck you Netflix

Also ....can I add Dark Angel?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Oh my god yes Dark Angel, still kills me. And also SCD, great show, and the combo of Olyphant and Barrymore? Be still my beating bisexual heart!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

The Patriot on prime it's the best show nobody's watched. Black Summer on netflix was a sensational zombie show they really shouldn't have cancelled

Carnivàle was the first time I was hurt by a cancellation. It is still the hurtest hurt.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wheel of Time. Incredible story that I've read and reread since I was a child, combined with a stellar cast and some minor changes to have better LGBTQ rep. It got really good and then they axed it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I really wish we could enact a law or something that said "if you want to take on an established series, you have to finish it"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Maybe we could start with "if you want to take on an established series, you have to use the actual story, not your fanfic of it"

Rome

It was game of thrones, before game of thrones.

I feel like I’m beating a dead horse about this now, but Scavenger’s Reign and Infinity Train.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Much less a cancellation and more of a "setup and abandoned".

Season 1 of Picard setup a new and interesting crew for a spin off series. Never happened.

Season 3 of Picard did so again, but it also looks like nothing will come of it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Picard, what a shit show. 3 completely disconnected seasons with 3 completely separate agendas. It's the only show I can say "just watch season 3, you'll be fine".

Almost Human

Karl Urban and Michael Ealy made a great pair.

Farscape

One more season instead if the 2 part TV movie we got trying to hastily wrap it all up.

Rings of Power .... how the fuck has it not happened, yet?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean you want it to be cancelled?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, preferably somewhen in season 1.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Then you're upset about the opposite of my question lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s canceled in my hearth

Raised By Wolves

It was a polarizing show, but my sci-fi heart loved it. Also the intro music was hauntingly beautiful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I went over the wikipedia entry, and that show is just as weird and opaque as I remember it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

We never really got any answers to a lot of questions in the show. I actually loved how weird it was.

Veronica Mars should've had a solid 7 seasons in a row
