FIREFLY

The Walking Dead.

Should have been cancelled like 9 seasons earlier.

Firefly

Sarah Connor Chronicals. Was pretty good throughout but then ramped up to off the walls amazing, just in time to be cancelled on a cliffhanger

Final Space deserves to be mentioned here. I know there's a wrap up graphic novel slated and I'm super excited to see where Olan goes with Godspeed. But having the whole ip basically wiped off the face of the earth as a tax write off has to be one of the most messed up ways to cancel a show...

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I was in awe with this show. Had waited years for it and was not disappointed! I loved the story and the set pieces were absolutely gorgeous. You could tell a lot of love and care was put into it. I was hoping they’d go all the way with this show and that it would end naturally as a full prequel story to The Dark Crystal.

But no. Netflix pulled the plug on Age of Resistance after the first season because it was too expensive. It still stings to this day.

Game of Thrones. Sad we never got to see past season 6...

Serious answer: I just heard The Peripheral got cancelled after Westworld also got cancelled :l

Dirk Gently’s :( fuck you Netflix.

Seriously, cancelling the show WHEN THEY FUCKING OPEN THE HOLISTIC DETECTIVE AGENCY?? My boy Elijah Wood was soo good on this!!! :((

This appeals to Hongkongers only, but I miss 頭條新聞 (News Headlines) (I made up this translation)

Despite its name, this was a sarcastic show aired on RTHK, an official government channel. It talks about a lot of events, poor decisions and wrong-doings of the government in a funny way. Unfortunately it was shut down in 2020, by the government.

Our democracy and freedom have been declining since then.

Here's a playlist of them archived

Number one show I wish wasn't cancelled was Firefly, definitely. And more recently, 1899.

The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr.

Wonderfalls

Freaks and Geeks

Odyssey 5

Deadwood

Twin Peaks

Venture Bros

American Gods literally waited until right before the last episode to cancel it

Invader Zim

Mindhunter

Dark Matter 😢

Reaper (CW)

Terra Nova was awesome... at least... I thought so.

:(

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Star Trek: Enterprise

Freaks & Geeks

Sense8

I've got two:

Stargate: Universe. I never got into Stargate before, and I really liked what was going on with Universe. Longtime fans didn't. Though, after going back and getting into SG-1 and Atlantis, I very much understand why they hated Universe. The original shit is so much more fun, where Universe was overly serious. I still like the concept, but I think it would have been way better with the campyness of the original shows.

The second is Limitless. It was really fucking good. It was constantly pulling me in. And they cancelled it because too many people found it to be "unrealistic." I'm sorry the show about a neutropic drug that makes you into a super genius isn't real enough for you.

The Tick. All of them.

Wonderfalls

My name is earl

Firefly. Sons of Tucson.

I'm sure there are others.

The expanse.

Stargate Universe. It was Stargate meets Battlestar Galactica and I loved it. It wasn't without its issues, but I felt it was really finding it's feet. Then it ends on a cliffhanger after 2 seasons

Drive, starring Nathan Fillion and Emma Stone. Didn't even last a season.

Tron: Uprising :( Wikipedia

Limitless.

The movie was pretty superfluously a power fantasy, but the show had actual likeable characters, and long-term intrigue. As far as cop procedurals go, it was way up there.

Key & Peele. But they're probably right. Better to go out on a high note.

Futurama, Utopia

1899

It's a mystery show made by the same people that made Dark and I was so down for it. Then Netflix cancelled it after season 1
