For me it would have to be The Owl House
Firefly. Specifically, Shepherd Book’s backstory.
I worry it would have fallen off. Now we can always dream of what could have been.
I think it’s would have depended if it were made as a planned story, or open-ended one that ends when it gets canceled. And after Buffy, my guess is it would have been more focused. On the other hand, it was on a more major network, obviously with way less freedom.
I haven’t seen this one mentioned yet, Daybreak.
Teen drama series about teens trying to survive in a zomble apocaylse, it was well written but what really makes me want a season 2 is the cliffhanger that shifts the entire show on it’s head.
Throughout the series, Josh (the main character) is trying to get a girl called Sam, in the finale Sam rejects her because she notices he wasn’t really in love with her. Josh was just trying to play a hero getting a damsel in distress, it was a amazing breakdown of toxic masculinity that makes so much sense if you rewatch the series with the twist in mind. Sam then becomes the leader, the position that Josh has been working for the whole series and that’s the cliffhanger. I remeber people getting mad because those were the exact types of people Josh was. A season 2 could have gone even deeper into the toxic masculinity angle and that would have been awesome.
Firefly
Raised by Wolves
Game of Thrones, but written by the author
Wheel of Time (in case you missed it, it’s canceled)
Years and Years
Utopia (UK, 2013)
Was Years and Years discontinued/the ending was changed? From how I saw it, it seemed to have a proper ending.
It was just 1 season right? Felt to me it had so much potential to continue, like a buildup to something but noting to follow up
It seemed like a self contained single season to me, not sure what more would have entailed. Could still be interesting though, I suppose
Maybe it’s just that I fell in love with the dystopian world they created and loved to see more. It’s a while ago that I saw it, can’t remember the ending anymore. Didn’t stick but the feeling and the world they created did.
the game of thrones ending was actually written by the author, he gave them the biggest moments that would happen
I heard is wasn’t written by him, as the books aren’t finished yet, but he approved the screenwriters to continue writing and he approved what they wrote.
i worded it wrong it wasnt written by him but he gave the the baseline for what would happen, mainly the mad queen, jon snow’s heritage, and one other thing i cant remember
Yeah but it was written in a Hollywood way. With heroism etc where characters are central, while the books regularly kill main characters and show a much deeper important layer where characters are just disposable tools. That’s why everyone is so disappointed with the seasons which have no books imo.
I have a WoT quote in my wedding ring so not an entirely unbiased fan. But good riddance to that show. “Alternative turn of the Wheel” my ass
The Last Man on Earth.
I’m here to see if anyone else said this. 100% agree!
I need to know if the male affection and hand sniffing continued to escalate!
Obvious answer: Firefly
Unpopular answer: Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog.
I for one agree wholeheartedly on both.
Let’s crowdfund Act 4, but done with stop motion Lego.
Dr Horrible had a great ending. That show is as pure and perfect as it can be. Also, Firefly actually got a good ending unlike so many other shows.
I can’t disagree, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want more.

Also apparently Joss Whedon is a cunt :(
Rewatching old shows is painful. So much homophobia and sexism and racism was played for laughs
And that’s just Xander.
I haven’t rewatched firefly in over a decade I think. What has aged so terribly? Also why is the anti hero thing so bad? Played out now?

Those are all good points though I disagree a bit with the brown coats/confederates but I get what you mean.
I think I’ll let that show sit in my memory as it is. Without rewatching any of it I can definitely see the issues. Especially Jayne thinking more on it

Raised by wolves. Like, more than anything. I want to know what happens so badly.
It was such a unique, utterly batshit crazy show that just really started going off the rails in the best possible way at the end of season 2. There was something so hauntingly bleak about it all that I fell head over heels in love with and its cancellation hurts to this day.
Stopped at first season after I heard it was cancelled. Really wanted to know what’s the point of this honey pot planet and that wierd snake thing. Really like the concept of the show
Niche show, but Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Holy shit that was a great show and SO well written, but I can see why it wasn’t well received on a traditional TV format - if you didn’t watch from the beginning and keep watching to the end it wouldn’t make a lick of sense. Definitely meant to be enjoyed with a serious watch of an entire series and not episodically.
I would give my left foot for a Season 3.
So many good characters, so many potential plot lines. Allan Tudyk is good in everything he does
I just wanted to post this! It felt like they were setting up a really interesting overarching plot with the “backstage of reality”, I wish they told us what their plans for that were.
Firefly
Scavengers Reign 100%
other notable mentions are Pantheon and Sense8
Really like earth 2. This point it would have to be a reboot. I swear there was a British version that was somewhat decent that was also cancelled but I cant remember its name.
Space: Above And Beyond
Babylon 5: Crusade
The expanse. Last trilogy is fire.
Avenue 5.
Deadwood.
Firefly.
The good thing about The Expanse is that all of the characters are old in the last trilogy, so we could very well see it down the road with most of the original cast.
Stargate Universe.
They killed it when the show just had caught steam.
They did the same with Star Trek: Enterprise. It finally picked up momentum in the fourth season when Manny Coto took over as show runner, then they killed it.
Its been along road…
Shaddap!
Mindhunter, excellent production quality, unfortunately too high production quality for it’s own good 😢
Yes man it’s a damn shame that one got canned, it was solid
Loudermilk.
Stargate universe.
Battlegate Univactica?
