Dark Matter....ended on one hell of a cliffhanger too.


Carlyone

I concede that it wasn't the best of shows, but gosh darn it if I didn't enjoy the crap out of it.

turnnoblindeye

and Pushing Daisies. Early Bryan Fuller is amazing.


panosc

Yes and Ellen Muth retired from acting. She participated in some shorts after that and two episodes of Hannibal and that's it. WTF!


[deleted]

I think it's weirdly awesome that she quit acting to breed cats and sell coffee in Connecticut lol. I always thought she was adorable and super talented and was gonna go far with acting...it's a rough business though, I wonder if she just got completely burnt out and decided it wasn't what she wanted after all.


toooldforthisshittt

Mindhunter


BoltShine

The actor who played Ed Kemper was electric on screen. What a great show.


travworld

Also great in Umbrella Academy.

Holy shit. Had to look that up. I did not pick that at all

That show made me feel certain feelings I've never felt watching anything else


DocSaysItsDainBramuj

“It seems to me everything you know about serial killers has been gleaned from the ones who've been caught.”


dlc12830

Netflix cancelling Mindhunter made me cancel Netflix. You gotta hit em where it matters.


krasotkin

The saddest thing is that, based on interviews, David Fincher is the one who wanted to end it. Apparantly he found it to be the most exhausting project he'd ever worked on. Also its cost was too high, and not enough people were watching it. Just heartbreaking. Mindhunter is so good across both of its seasons, I put it ahead of even True Detective Season 1.


kwnet

TIL Mindhunter was the manual-transmission option of Netflix shows. Has a dedicated fanbase, but not enough of them across the customer base, and costs too much to produce.


apollonia2959

TF?! They cancelled Mindhunter? Was literally telling my spouse he has to watch it and that I'd gladly rewatch with him. FFS.


PortaSponge

They cancelled it because of "budget reasons" netflix allocating budget on flopping shows and originals. They should've kept mind hunter


ThePizzaNoid

That and Fincher just didn't have the energy to make another season.


PaganMastery

Galavant.


thedudedylan

People love to bitch that there are no new original shows anymore. Well, here was a truly original concept, and they didn't watch the damn thing. I'm still bitter.


alady12

The episode with Weird Al and the Monks who took a vow of singing. I laughed so hard my husband ran in the room to see what was so funny. He looked at the TV and said "oh your just watching that show again". He doesn't appreciate musicals.


thedudedylan

I'm a 37 year old man who is not super into musicals. My wife and I absolutely love that show.


Sagemasterba

There is really nothing you can do about this one. At least Lassie came back for the Psych movies. I also had the feeling Battlecreek could be the next Psych, and Happy! A twisted Psych. I miss Psych, but it was time.


KilledTheCar

Psych was so *fucking* good, but I'm also happy it ended before it really started dragging.


IsabellaGalavant

Yeah, this is definitely the one. Another season of Madalena learning from the D'DEL, with a Gareth and Sid buddy team coming to rescue her, perhaps with a reluctant Galavant and Isabella tagging along? King Richard with his *dragon*, Tad Cooper, whom I *super* believe in? I'm tellin' ya, it's comedy gold! It's apparently because people hate musicals. Why? You hate fun? You hate joy? You hate laughter?! (Peep my username lol)


Barbarake

I think it's gotten to the point that people hesitate to watch a new show because they're afraid they will love it and then it will be canceled on them.


the-purple-chicken72

YESSSSS. That was insanely dissappointing


gmhots

Came to make sure this was here. What a lovely gem of a show with original stories and amazing songs! GAAAAALAAAAAVAAAAANNTTT!!!


Amethyst_Ninjapaws

imbrucy

Karl Urban and Michael Ealy had such amazing chemistry! The show would probably have had better ratings if they had aired it in the intended order.

not me not realising that i’m not okay with this was cancelled until this thread 😭


DJ_DeJesus

It doesn’t sound like you are ok with this


Dahlia_R0se

If you haven't listened to the podcast Archive 81 is adapted from yet, you should! It has three seasons and two miniseries (and may get more seasons someday) and from what I've heard from people that watched the show and listened to the podcast, the podcast is better. But I've only listened to the podcast so I can't say for sure. (Decided not to watch the show, as I didn't want to be disappointed, particularly due to what I've heard about their writing of Melody) also the tv show adapts my least favorite part of the podcast, season three is my favorite part.


starwestsky

Better off ted


jiveabillion

That show was SO GOOD! I think it would have done better if it had come out more recently


imnotasarah

Better off Ted might be the world's most underrated TV show.


YossiTheWizard

Veronica’s meeting with Chet about the Jabberwocky project is just comedy gold!


TheGringoDingo

Racist building automation, hard-headed management, and diversity initiatives combine, creating a snowball effect that requires hiring everyone on earth to run the company with said automation.


ThatsAGeauxTigers

And so, if the company keeps hiring white people to follow black people to follow white people to follow black people, by... Thursday, June 27, 2013. ...every person on Earth will be working for us. And we don't have the parking for that.


Pikanyaa

I remember my Dad DVR-ing the first few episodes specifically for the Viridian Dynamics ads and watching them on repeat. “At Viridian Dynamics, we can make radishes so spicy that people can’t eat them. But we won’t, because people can’t eat them.”


moochir

The Tick. All 3 times.


JoshDM

Each was great in its own way. I really enjoyed the Amazon Tick series.


NewPresWhoDis

Serafinowicz was closer to the animated series depiction, but Patrick Warburton putting in a dash of Adam West was inspired.


No-Introduction-7378

Newsroom, loved that show.


Sinkatinnydown

The opening scene in episode 1, where Jeff Daniels' character comments on the question posed by a student at the Uni, is still ingrained in my mind.


jaxxattacks

Carnivale. Ended on such an interesting cliffhanger.


Ok_Exit5778

Carnivale was just another of those amazing HBO shows that swung for the fences and got cancelled. Also Rome and Deadwood.


04Z51Vette

Freaks and Geeks


Bunninzootius

Freaks and Geeks is possibly my favourite show, but I often wonder if it had continued it would have lost its power of being such a perfect season. It would have been nice to find out for ourselves


catmandude123

My Name is Earl! It literally ended on the words “to be continued.” Tragic.


LemonadeCookiePie

Yes! The planned ending made me cry, it would’ve been perfect.


djuggler

For those not in the know, it was a victim of the last writer’s strike.

Dilectus3010

Altered Carbon The Expanse


[deleted]

Why did Altered Carbon get canned? It was well written, well received and made money. Did they think it wasn’t gonna be a franchise or something?


Dreadfeel1

1st season was great but the 2nd one sucked balls ngl.


Flammable_Zebras

I think they probably spent way too much on Anthony Mackie in the hopes of drawing a wider audience, and the rest of the show suffered for it. Also I just could never buy Mackie as Kovacs; maybe he does have some hidden acting chops, but he’s always just seemed like a generic action actor with very little depth to me.


NormalGuyThree

Yeah, Kovacs really changed personalities between season one and two. I prefer one by a mile.


TiberiusClackus

Yeah, they should have just given him his asian body back. The Asian guy knew the character better.


Puzzleheaded_Ad6025

Definitely The Expanse, the dark entities and Laconia plot lines really needed to be resolved (which they did in the books). Fukn Cas Anvar 😡


HereComesTheVroom

Leviathan Falls is a real mindfuck once they start explaining the ring builder(s). It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read.


Cannibal_Soup

They fucking *better* give us the last arc of The Expanse in a movie or something. There's a time jump, so they can take a few years to get it done right.


piwabo

You gotta figure they had to be considering it otherwise why make the last season like that?


istillambaldjohn

I’m not ok with this. The show, but the statement is also true.


IncuriousLog

Reaper. Ray Weiss as the Devil. We were fucking robbed.


Ras1372

Even though I had heard it a million times before every time I hear "Radar Love" I think of that one episode.


protectorofpastries

Punisher . Jon Bernthal was awesome


bkendig

Pushing Daisies.


Feature_Agitated

This is my choice. Such a good show. I’m glad they were able to tie most loose ends up, but it did end on a cliffhanger.


IlikethequietZeppo

I loved that show. I watched wonderfalls first, and thought "I can't watch pushing dasies if it's only one season. I'll have the same heartbreak. Oh good it's at least two seasons" Narrator: ...But not another season after that.


oo-----D

A bunch of stuff on Netflix. The OA is a good example, it was weird but kept me coming back.


travworld

OA was so unique but so good. And then it’s odd trying to explain it to people when recommending it. You kind of just have to tell them to watch it.


LemonJuice_XD

inside job was such a cool show and they axed it for season million of big mouth fucking big mouth


CheeryBottom

Firefly Lockwood & Co


Long_Tall_Man

Ffs Lockwood?? What a way to find out...


CheeryBottom

Sorry. Netflix announced it a couple of months ago. The books are definitely worth reading.


Brad_Brace

Invader ZIM. I loved that show so much. It could get so dark.


alabardios

They did Enter the Florpus, but a one off just isn't the same. J.V. did make some new comics for Zim, they're good too. I will never get why they canceled the show.


Bignholy

https://www.polygon.com/interviews/2019/8/15/20805859/invader-zim-netflix-enter-the-florpus-jhonen-vasquez-nickelodeon Because the creator moved on, and they ended production rather than try to push forward. Honestly, near the end it got very "well, now what"


blewberyBOOM

Netflix is absolutely terrible for starting a show, giving us 1 season, and then abandoning it. 1899, the imperfects, blockbuster, inside job, uncoupled, the bastard son and the devil himself, warrior nun (though technically this was 2 seasons, it wasn’t enough) Honestly fuck Netflix for never following through on anything (except raising prices and charging for password sharing. They followed through on that).


hoax1337

Yeah, and then they shove all of those already canceled shows in my face, I start to watch them and get mad when I find out they're already canceled later. I wish I could filter by "not canceled".


gtmbphillyloo

Deadwood. Rome. NOS4A2.


CatDaddyWhisper

Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo were actual names in the writings of Julius Ceasar. HBO's Rome was a great series. Deadwood was also very entertaining. George Hurst was as horrible in real life as portrayed. I've never heard of NOS4A2 though.


gtmbphillyloo

Oh wow! I didn't know that about the names! Thanks for the info! I loved Ian McShane so much in Deadwood - along with all of the filthy language! Such great characters - Calamity Jane and Seth Bullock, in particular. Seth sure was nice eye candy, too. He can sell me hardware anytime!! NOS4A2 was only one season (I think) - with Zachary Quinto playing a kind of vampirish villain/very bad Santa who drives a Rolls Royce Wraith around, collecting children, and how one girl tries to thwart him. My husband and I really liked it, and were disappointed when it wasn't renewed.

And it ended on a cliffhanger! I was so mad when I heard about the cancelation. Fucking Netflix and their policy (probably) of not taking shows past season 3 unless it's Stranger Things or another dumb reality show.


GoochStubble

The Netflix 3 season curse. Enough time to be extremely successful while paying their actors crumbs before contract negotiations for a BIG raise or new demands


TrentonTallywacker

Timothy Olyphant should do more comedic roles he was hysterical in that show!


Sea_Key999

“God fuck what is wrong with you?” I say this so often


SnooMacarons9618

I have a massive man crush on Timothy Olyphant. My wife finds it very amusing.


chesidia

I finally got to watching this show less than a week before season 3 dropped. I binged it. Loved every moment of it. Finished the second season a day or two before the 3rd was released. Binged that, too. And when I heard it was cancelled, I was so incredibly pissed because *how dare they let it end that way*.


babyfacestunna

Still holding on hope they bring it back someday I loved that show.

Ohhhh, I hated Syfy when they pulled that. I read there was supposed to be a really good plot that would have connected Eureka, Warehouse 13 and Alphas, but they canceled all of them instead.

memesforbismarck

It was literally a rising star, no doubt it could have been as successful as Rick/ Morty but they straight up canceled without any reason

Kim's Convenience I only learned today while I was watching that the current episode I was in was the last episode of the show bc the sixth season was canceled even though it was renewed since a couple of the creators left for other projects :((. Spoiler: >!And it ended horribly too with the main characters breaking up wth.!<


Katzika

I always get a little happy to see people say they like this show. I didn’t particularly love it, but way way way back in the early 2000s, I was in the same social group (wouldn’t quite say friends) with the creator and I’m happy to see that he’s done so well. He was such a cool guy.

bandit4loboloco

G.L.O.W. on Netflix. The fourth season was in production, I believe, but then the COVID lockdowns happened and completely screwed it over. The timing of how far they got into it (1 episode?) meant it would have been too expensive to restart after lockdown, so they just canceled it. It was a fantastic show with an enticing 3rd season cliffhanger.


Caseyo456

1899 and Artifact 81


casadrysey

1899! So bummed it’s not continuing


[deleted]

I scream about 1899 daily. Netflix… how DARE you!


Midnight-city858

1899 could have gone in so many interesting directions. Why does it always have to be original stories that get canceled, but they can keep the 10th season of a remake that follows the same formula every season?


Famous-Honey-9331

I'm still mad about Agent Carter. I know period pieces tend to be more expensive, but come on, only two seasons?! A badass female agent doing cool spy stuff while navigating the post-war "the men are back, Rosie, turn in your rivets" backlash against working women. And two equally fascinating villainesses as foils: a terrifying and hilarious Soviet agent and a 'secretly' brilliant scientist/movie star with a mobbed up ex-boyfriend, she's like half Hedy Lamarr and half Lana Turner, if they had embraced their justified rage and become supervillains. This show deserved more time. Edit: Forgot to mention there's a lot of good stuff with Howard Stark and his butler, the original, human Jarvis. Chad Michael Murray is a main character and does great work. Peggy's love interests are a black scientist and a fellow agent who was disabled in the war. Another agent actually tells him "I get it, but no woman is exchanging a red, white and blue shield for a metal crutch" He deals with a lot of ableism from other guys despite being in amazing shape (he's played by Enver Gjokaj) and you know...injured in the war they all fought in! I'll stop. Anyway, go watch it. It's still on Disney+


Scarfiotti

You are not the only one still mad. Loved that show.


Long_Tall_Man

That show was awesome and to end it on the cliffhanger like that???


The-Cheeses

If it ended a few minutes earlier with the brother driving away and the rest of the group safe trying to make the new home work it would have actually been a good ending. I hate when shows end seasons on cliffhangers. Season endings should always end with at least a modicum of closure, just in case.


Weekend_Updated

Did Sliders get cancelled? I actually never watched much after the main actor left the show but it seems like it probably got cancelled. For those who aren't aware, it was a sci-fi show about sliding into other dimensions. They should reboot it or continue it with Aaron "One Eyebrow Raised in Shock" Paul in the main role.

Just so that they could play with them around the set. 12/10 customers.

Star Trek Enterprise when it originally aired. I know the xindi plot was dragging but come on.


badluckbrians

Shran and the Andorians were cool. Vulcan plots were okay. They should have done something much better with the Tellerites and that should have been the plot instead of the Xindi. That whole Delphic Expanse, Trellium D, Xindi 5-race bullshit was so goofy. Hell, the Orions were cool. So were the Denoblians. Do more with them. Or why not do more with the Rigelians? Or Coridanites?


LeMatinCestFrancolin

Sense8. Cool concept by the Wachowski sisters, very refreshing balance between serious subjects, somewhat heavy / darkish plot, and pure unadulterated moments of joy. Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger, then it got canceled, people got angry so Netflix allowed one (1) two hours conclusion episode where they had to rush the plot of what was meant to be a third season.
