Obvious answer: Firefly

The expanse. Last trilogy is fire.

Avenue 5.

Deadwood.

Firefly.

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.

Pushing Daisies.

Stargate Atlantis

Better Off Ted

I very glad to see so many Browncoats here.

Obligatory Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles mention.

Raised. By. Wolves.

Firefly

Stargate Atlantis

Stargate Universe (yes, almost all the characters was unlikeable, but I’d still have liked a resolution)

Star Trek Prodigy

Star Trek Lower Decks

The Lazarus Project

Pirates of Dark Water.

Yes, I'm old.

Firefly. Specifically, Shepherd Book's backstory.

Stargate Universe.

They killed it when the show just had caught steam.

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.

Babylon 5.

Limitless.

Stargate Universe.

There are a few good ones I'd love to see, but at the top of my list are Firefly and Sense8.

I would probably go for Westworld despite it admittedly getting a little out there. If not that, then V.

Mindhunter, excellent production quality, unfortunately too high production quality for it's own good 😢

Stargate universe.

Dark Matter

(The space one)

Crusade (Babylon 5 spinoff)

Rome

Mythbusters, junkyard wars.

A series that basically nobody knows: John Doe

A guy wakes up in the middle of nowhere, not knowing who he is. But knows literally everything else. Basically walking Wikipedia

First season ended on massive cliffhanger and was cancelled

Firefly

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.

Pop-up Video

Carnivàle.

Wonderfalls

The OA

Surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet but

Firefly

Had such a cool universe and cast of characters and was getting super interesting right when it was cancelled

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.

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

Sandman. Only comic I've ever really read and the show was surprisingly on point. Even given Gaiman's evil history I think it's doing us fans a disservice by killing it.

Archive 81. Absolute S tier banger of a show that Shitflix cancelled after 1 season.

My one is a show that may or may not have been related to Twin Peaks - after Season 3, Lynch was apparently working on something with a working title of either Wisteria or Undiscovered Night. IIRC it was a tie up with Netflix and was being made by Twin Peaks Productions, which has only ever made TP material, so the chances seemed high.

Unfortunately COVID happened, the project stalled and was eventually dropped, and of course Lynch died not too long ago.

I'd love to know what it was planned to be, TP or not.
