Snowpiercer, damn you Discovery

[–] YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself. Thought it was very interesting, I loved the magic system and the characters were well developed. It was a really fun journey and the production was such an interesting vibe.

Revolution

Ended right before it was going to start getting crazy.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It voluntarily ended but one more season of Seinfeld. They said the show was getting too ridiculous but one more season of ridiculous would've been nice.

Blood Drive.

Farscape

Deadwood

[–] yata@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Deadwood. It is still a classic top 5 HBO show, but unfortunately with so much wasted potential and unexplored storylines. I do rewatch it from time to time, but the knowledge of what could have been is kinda detracting from my full enjoyment of it.

Boardwalk Empire. It got more seasons than Deadwood at least, and also had a final episode which kinda wrapped things up, but it was so rushed and contrary to the general pace of the show that it is very jarring to watch.

MODOK was stupid fun and had robot chicken vibes at times. Sad it left off the way it did.

I'm glad to see Carnivàle has already been mentioned. If I could choose only one, that is it. There are many others that have been mentioned that are also on my list though. About the only shows I can think of that I haven't seen mentioned but would also add are Penny Dreadful and Jupiter's Legacy.

[–] Fuzzy_Dunlop@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not exactly a cancelation, but Star Trek TNG. All of the characters were far more developed than TOS's, which is why they didn't work as well in movies. Better for them to have their own episodes than to unsuccessfully have them share a movie. Any of them could have been just as good, if not better, as multi-part episodes.

Legends of Tomorrow

I mean, come on, we just got Donald Faison as Booster Gold in the final episode of season 7 and then they go and cancel it

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago

That show should have been cancelled when they turned it into a nonsense comedy that was like a low budget, unfunny Rick & Morty. An unpopular opinion, I know, but it started off with such potential and turned into a joke.

[–] xxx69MyImmortal69xxx@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I am not okay with this - I was so excited when I watched that seried but then it was announced that it would be cancelled. The only season had a plot twist at the end that the comic didn't have and I was really excited to see where it goes. But Netflix couldn't let that happen.
