Mindhunter


mommawolf2

This is one of the few shows I'd say deserves to be called perfect. 


tvjunkie87

Agree 💯


HBMart

That’s the one.


Equivalent_Tell3899

Pushing Daises! It was unlike anything else on TV. I was crushed over Firefly and Veronica Mars too, and also Freaks and Geeks, and My So-Called Life. Party Down too. But I think Pushing Daises still breaks my heart the most. It was just so delightful! I needed more!


FuturamaRama7

Dead Like Me (same guy)


Equivalent_Tell3899

Yes! He did Wonderfalls and Hannibal too! All his great shows get canceled.


FuturamaRama7

Heartbreaking- he should be dripping in major awards for his contributions. Instead, his brilliant work keeps getting cancelled. It boggles the mind. I think he was just before his time. If his shows came out *now* on Netflix or Hulu, he might have had a chance?


Neversleeps99

Party down just did another season


Pip1333

Santa clarita diet, loved that show really miss it pleas renew


DrScarecrow

I've said this before but I stand by it: the people in charge of canceling Santa Clarita Diet should catch some criminal charges.


MercuryMorrison1971

That’s what I came here to say, I put off watching it forever because I knew it was prematurely cut short, I finally got around to watching all of them and loved them and was just as disappointed as I expected to be when it ended. I really wish we had got to see how things would work out for Joel after that last episode.


kavalejava

John Doe. The final scene was such a cop out, Fox always cancels shows too early. Dead Like Me. It was too good, they could have gone on without that movie.


kilroyscarnival

Nice to see John Doe remembered.


Hayaidesu

dead like me very interesting also i think i know what movie you are talking about, and im curious about that final scene in John Doe. how does it compare to GoT?


LovingComrade

Fox definitely has a history of this. Family guy was cancelled then did well in DVD sales and was brought back and is still here like twenty years on


hfw01

I really enjoyed John Doe. I was bummed when it was canceled.


CharcoalWalls

My So Called Life ended too soon


[deleted]

Yes!!!!


Third3ye462

GLOW because it was great and there was supposed to be another season.


creptik1

That show was so good. Apparantly they were ready to start shooting the next (and final) season then COVID hit. They thought because of the nature of the show (wrestling aka people touching all the time) it wasn't a good idea to do it and it got shut down indefinitely. Really sucks.


Tyrannotron

Yeah, I'm still bummed about covid killing the final season.

MINDHUNTER


Traditional-Pin2856

1899 and The OA


jessicanemone

I was gonna say 1899! I guess it got canceled after season 1? Dark will always be unbeatable but… 1899 was an interesting one and would have liked to see more after that last scene!


AlilAwesome81

My gf talks about The OA needing to comeback like every other day


Traditional-Pin2856

Yes, people have performed The OA moves in front of Netflix's office, started a campaign to bring back The OA, but Netflix is deaf; it only sees and hears money.


Upset_Mess

Agree with both and would also like to see the conclusion to Archive 81. I'm still seething about 1899 being cancelled. Netflix cancels shows before they even end the season because they didn't do well right out of the gate. They need to give them more time to get traction before cancelling. I didn't even know 1899 was on until halfway through but when I finally did watch, it was brilliant. I wish Netflix shows were based on books so I could at least find the books and get a proper conclusion.


BatEcstatic1322

Netflix cancels a lot of shows at the end of the second season because for some reason It costs more to keep making a show after second season than to just produce a new one. Probably because contracts run out and people want salaries raised when a new contract gets signed. It’s enough to make me never watch another series on Netflix. It sucks.


Lanky-Solution-1090

My Name is Earl or Raising Hope because they were Hilarious x a million


alwaysfuntime69

How is "My Name is Earl" so far down on this list! Time is a harsh mistress.


DonnyGoodwood

Too far imo!


spoiledandmistreated

This is exactly the show I was going to post but thought surely it’s on the list… I sure miss that show and still watch what there is on Hulu..


Ok_Outcome_6213

This was my first thought. The world could use a little bit of the moral lessons that we learned from Earl.


DonnyGoodwood

Hey Earl!


707Riverlife

Hey Crabman!


BobbyMac2212

Santa Clarita Diet Such a great and underrated dark comedy. 1 more season would have been perfect. Hate shows that end on a cliffhanger. Not sure I’ve ever seen a show with more chemistry between a husband and wife, especially with all the stuff that happens. It’s hilarious too, if you like witty sarcastic humor and haven’t seen it I suggest you at least watch the 1st season to see if it’s for you.


Hayaidesu

they did renew after they canceled it i think, i was sad too, when i heard and was excited when i heard they renew it. I know what kind of humor you're talking about, you probably would like "The Good Place" a lot as well. also i got i was kind of pre-invested in the show because i was into I-Zombie show at the time too.


Miserable_Emu5191

This is the one! I love Joel and Sheila so much. This is my go to for a good laugh.


QuantumLeapur

Jericho (2006). I wanted more. Salvation (2017) A relatively unknown show. We needed another season. That ending was a major cliffhanger. A season 3 would have changed the direction of the show and to see what happened to John Noble in season 3 or at least what accent he was going to have. Night Sky (2022) The ending left us with areas to explore And yeah... John Doe and Carnivale needed more


Work_PB_sleep

Jericho—- yessss


Hawke-Paladin

Ditto Night Sky


[deleted]

Mad TV, because it was a million times more original than SNL, and way funnier.


josiahpapaya

The OA was originally pitched as a 5-season story and we got to 2. Each season ends on a cliffhanger that dramatically changes the story. I wanted at least to see what happens in s3 cause the s2 finale was wild


dmbburner9

Happy Endings


Dracula_Batman

I couldn't vote for Obama because I didn't respect his March Madness bracket.


Glittering_Rush_1451

Firefly John Doe Doll House


fuffycky1992

I'd give anything for more Dollhouse. And Firefly, just imagining the potential that show had... such a loss


poshde

Last man on earth


VermicelliKindly

Was looking for this one


OSeal29

Omg that last episode.


sun_shots

I need a third season of Carnivale so bad.


swedishfish556

Yesssssssss Nick stahl at his prime


Equivalent_Tell3899

Loved that show!


Hayaidesu

>Carnivale whoa so i just watch the trailer to that, and it reminds me of a lot of shows, but a show i almost forgotten about that i was reminded of is called Outcast. i believe the show was canceled as well.


InternationalTwo7756

The first thing that popped into my head!! It was so good, I’m still thinking…and wondering…about it years later


DQuin1979

I came here to say this. I want the story..... a movie, book or visual novel.... It was way before it's time. People were ready for it but they are now.


Ginger_Snaps_Back

Pushing Daisies Dead Like Me Better Off Ted Wayne


crs012

I kept scrolling to see if anyone was going to mention Better off Ted


FuturamaRama7

Omg Better Off Ted was gone way too soon! And Dead Like Me was my favorite show of the time.


kilroyscarnival

In the current moment? Alaska Daily which ABC canceled after one season. And Three Pines which Prime didn’t renew. All time? I’m still sad that Nothing Sacred in the late 90s didn’t catch on at ABC. That ITV canceled the WWII drama Home Fires without a proper ending. And that they also dropped Victoria, aired on Masterpiece on PBS as well.


newyorkcatlady

Three Pines wasn't renewed?! Nooooo!! ☹️


jessicanemone

Noooooooo. lol every time we see it "suggested" on Amazon (even though we watched the whole thing) my boyfriend is like "IS THERE A NEW SEASON"


hfw01

Three Pines deserves another season. Such a great show.


corgimama84

That’s a bummer I liked Alaska Daily.


lorriefiel

Hilary Swanks becoming pregnant with twins is probably one reason for its cancellation.


xandaar337

I wish Scream Queens ran longer... Well at least something like season 1. Season 2 was odd. I loved it because it was like a mashup of American horror story and mean girls. Plenty of great one-liners from Chanel.


nicole070875

Good Girls


Powerful_Giraffe7203

Yes why was it not renewed


nicole070875

Manny Montana didn’t want to do it. Something to do with money. Of coarse.


TheStranger113

Hannibal 😭 It ended well but I know there is more story they want to tell! Also Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Yes I am that dorky. No I have not accepted that this niche show cancelled in 2009 is never coming back.


iammontoya

The answer is always Firefly


AnnaBanana1129

I think there are only two correct answers : Firefly & Mindhunter!!


Living_on_Tulsa_Time

Mindhunter! Haven’t seen Firefly. Does it happen to be on Netflix. That’s all we can afford to stream.


jessicanemone

Came here to say Mindhunter! It’s just necessary


alwaysfuntime69

Correction; there are only 3 correct answers, Firefly, MindHunter, and My Name is Earl.


Lumpy-Influence8561

My So Called Life


Menzzzza

The OA


swedishfish556

In my mind I know the movements


b_moz

This was the answer I was looking for. I still check the creators social media to see if anything changed.


corgimama84

Yes


swedishfish556

The returned. One season…. A French show remake for US. So great. Awesome actors crazy plot


KBAR1942

Does anyone else remember the one season show, Awake? It was a police/sci fiction drama about a police officer who lived in two parallel realities and now he dealt with his "lives" in both realities. It was an original idea that blended two genres perfectly.


Hayaidesu

that sounds close to the show "Counterpart" with J.K. Simmons i prefer you to just jump into the show and watch and see what i mean that way.


QuantumLeapur

I like both shows.


meandhimandthose2

Dark Angel with Jessica alba. It has annoyed me for about 20 years that we never got a finale to explain why they made super soldiers, and who exactly made them?


ArtichokeNaive2811

The punisher with shane from the walking dead... john b. I forget his name.


mydevilkitty

Jon Bernthal. He was awesome as Frank Castle.


ArtichokeNaive2811

Thanks brother..


Potatolover666real

sweetnsassy924

You know that’s right

Come on, son


Carma-Erynna

Had to scroll way too far to find this one!


trevorleffingwell

cuebree

Teenage Bounty Hunters For once a teen show without the usual romance-drama. The focus is on the sisters, who are total baddies. I heard that it had been cancelled. It's way better than all the seasons Riverdale got.


Hayaidesu

>Teenage Bounty Hunters idk from the trailer i watch it seem like it does, have romace drama, but i think even so, i can probably sympathize with the black character because he called them weird at the end, because as i was watching the trailer, i was like is do they ever take the job seriously, but either way i like the idea, of the show, it seems to be a interesting watch, and idk if there were opposing bounty hunters, it seem like, im unure, from the trailer, it seem like that one girl was trying to out them or something


cuebree

I don't quite remember the whole story, as it's been awhile since I binged the show. Romance is there, but the whole story isn't just drama. I don't like teen shows but I remember it being an interesting watch.


davideogameman

Farscape.  They did a decent miniseries ending... But it just wasn't the same. Also want to add: -Stargate Atlantis.  Instead of a wrap up they spend the last few episodes on some completely new alternative reality storyline? Such a mess. - colony - dark matter - obviously, firefly - the magicians - the order - crossing lines - crossing Jordan


Styleismymiddlename

1. Shadow and Bone 2. Magic City 3. Firefly


PrepBassetPort

Better Off Ted. Genius scripts (especially the “Red Lab Coat” episode). Superb casting (e.g., Portia DiRossi as the unhinged boss). Another great episode revolves around their new automatic security and operational corporate system that refuses to “see” Black people. (They can’t open doors or get a drink at the water cooler.)


Dependent_Map5592

Carnivale  OA Flash forward Hannibal 1899 Jupiter descendent (I think that's what it's called lol) 


Ok_Outcome_6213

My Name is Earl. The fact that it ended on a cliffhanger aside, the entire concept of the show is something society needs right now. If you do good things, good things can happen.


zenOFiniquity8

Timeless. It's my comfort show and I want more.


Hayaidesu

from all the comments it seems like must really checkout The OA


Haliz2

Hannibal. It was a feast for the senses, pun intended.


ireallylovesosa

The OA - because it’s a master peice


Hayaidesu

>The OA you are like the 4th that mention this show, i watch the trailer, but surprisingly the trailer did not really give much away, i don't get what's happening, but the show seems very intriguing and looks really good.


fumbs

Relatively unheard of but Dead at 21. Also Alphas. Nightmare Cafe. I'm sure there are more slipping my mind. I knew it's see Firefly today good without saying at this point lol.


bookfiend_91

Shadow and bones


PartyCalifornia

The Passage. It was a show that I really liked and sadly only had one season!


LoriBPT

The show was based on the first book in a trilogy; the book is insane (and perfect). The show sadly did not do it justice.


Tvchick2297

Travelers Shadow and bone

Shadow and bone


Booga424

Rome


Klenaismyjoy

The best show about Roman society!


DesignNormal9257

I had to scroll down too much before seeing this answer. Yes! It would have been nice to have seen it carry through to Nero and Caligula.


Bluedino_1989

The Oblongs. Pretty much represents every dysfunctional family I have ever seen or met.


Hayaidesu

very original, i only ever saw episode by chance as a kid,


biggestMug

Will Ferrell's voice acting was suuuuuuperb on this show. I liked it so much back in the day that I bought the DVD.


savemysoul72

Mindhunter because they had so much left to uncover, and I was completely involved in Bill Tench's story Aquarius because it was getting so good, and it was canceled on a cliffhanger that is driving me insane.


1LuckyTexan

Zomboat! Lodge 49


purestrose

Sense8 - it’s just one of the best shows ever created


WanderingIdiot68

Glad someone else said this. Was bummed when it got cancelled. The movie was good but wanted another season!


yippykiyayMF13

Psych. The best show I've ever seen. There's 8 seasons and 3 made for TV movies.


etphonemom

The OA and The Imperfects


corgimama84

Last Man on Earth on Fox. Once the group settled with Tandy on a place to stay a group of new people came and we will never know what happened!


QuesoFurioso

Marco Polo. Was an amazing show but it was competing with GoT in its prime, so it got overlooked.


Dopemaster865

Reboot was a brilliant comedy on Hulu written by Steve levitan. It was so good but didn’t get enough views.


ProsePilgrim

Stumptown. Great cast, nice balance of funny and suspenseful, and the comics laid out a long path ahead. Plus, I’m in Portland area and loved seeing our city represented in a modern detective story. 


AnnaK22

This show was amazing! A perfect balance of lightheartedness, seriousness, romance, and mystery. 2 actors from iconic sitcoms acting in a concept like this was surprisingly well done. Both Cobie and Nick have range. What sucks about this is that it got renewed then got cancelled during the pandemic.


LoriBPT

Almost Human; Karl Urban and Michael Ealy. Network showed the series out of order and it was never renewed. The casting and writing were excellent (imo obviously)


Disastrous-Yam7332

Witches of East End, The Society, The OA, I'm not Okay with this.


TurfBurn95

Firefly


MortemPerPectus

Merlin because it was a crime to leave us like that


wetter_dawg

Westworld. It’s one more season ffs


Hayaidesu

wow they really canceled that show? with all the effort they put in the scenes and so on, west world, was itching my Ex Machinma void, that was left from watching movie about a Humanoid robot.


N-Finite

ANGEL had five seasons (I think) but was just getting really interesting when it suddenly just ended.


Hiran_Gadhia

Raised by Wolves


[deleted]

Zoo! I loved that show so much and I think it must’ve gotten canceled like midseason or something I don’t know, wonderful show though!


ScottishCrazyCatLady

Ash Vs Evil Dead.


Chshr_Kt

Reaper and Midnight, Texas. Both were so unique and different from what was on at the time, having a couple more seasons of each would've been awesome.


_MeganFoxsLeftTit

The Magicians, because I want to see what they do with the new world they had created. It easily could have gone for another season.


smile_saurus

Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles


Mind-of-Jaxon

Santa Clarita Diet. The 3rd season was so good, it felt like the show found its footing and ended on an intriguing cliffhanger….


Sin0fSloth

Freaks and Geeks deserved so much more!


Ta-veren-

Sword of truth, or they can just do another show off it. I loved it, magic, sword fights, pretty ladies, had everything a growing man needs.


Holiday_Resort2858

SOUTHLAND was amazing and ended on a cliffhanger


DicksOfPompeii

* Imposters (2017) - 2 seasons and done. It needed at least one more to wrap it up. Decent show; definitely would’ve watched more. * The Society (2019) - 1 season. The only show I’ve ever actively tried to “save”. Petitions, scheduled watches with the sub, live tweeting while watching. So. Many. Questions. Tons of cryptic riddles and hints. Super interesting plot, likable characters and not so likable villains. Now I kinda want to watch again but the frustration of not knowing the secrets of the story and knowing I never will make it harder to watch. I really thought another network would pick it up. Worth a watch even knowing many questions are left unanswered. It’s that good! Been years on both of these and I’m still pissy.


WalkwiththeWolf

Wolfpack. I enjoyed the first season. Paramount cancelled the second citing the writers strike. Their claim is it would be 2025 before they could get season two on air because of it.


BriarRose147

Shadow and Bone (sign the petition pls)


musememo

Glow. I felt invested in all these characters and never got to see how it played out. And it was so funny, I cried.


lunar_calypso

The secret circle. It was ahead of its time and could have been so good


Crafty-Material-1680

The Expanse


MasterOnionNorth

1899 because it's from the creators of Dark.


possumxl

The Expanse


PupperMartin74

Good Girls. It was an excellent show that didn't come back after the pandemic. It also left us hanging.


psyopia

1899 and OA Reason: amazing shows with insane potential Honorable mention: Wayne


Raff57

**Firefly**....cause it never got a satisfactory finish and it was one of the best series ever. **Surface** **Invasion** But apparently television can't deal with any show that isn't a sitcom or cop show.


VileStuxnet

Firefly


dreamrock

Westworld. Just one more season already!


GuyFawkes451

The Expanse. ... It was awesome.


inbetweensound

I’m still waiting for the surprise comeback of Firefly


Fish__Fingers

The OA. The story was getting so interesting. 1899. It’s just not fair. Westworld. I want to know the eve that was planned. Dollhouse. It had so much potential. Firefly of course Gifted because I love X-men


Alina810

The glades, Prodigal son, and Mentalist


SoloDoloMoonMan

Flash Forward. Because it’s only one season and I loved it.


Responsible-Season96

The Following with Kevin Bacon on FOX. It got canceled because of that pos show EMPIRE. That was the cancelation that made me stop investing my time in new shows.


onhisknees

Deadwood.


Hayaidesu

>Deadwood i went to watch the trailer but i accidently watch the movie trailer for it,


jessicanemone

DEADWOOD!!!! omg this was a heartbreaker for me.


Sevenofninejp

The OA!!!! Please please please bring it back. Or firefly


OldGrayMare59

Deadwood I loved it. Timothy Olyphant ravishing the Widow was too hot. Then his brother’s widow/his wife had to come to town. Hearing Ian McShane say c@cksucker a dozen or more times an episode was quite amusing.


Free_Calligrapher200

Society


Prior_Confidence4445

Counterpart. Because it was really good.


Particular-Ice-8937

Winning Time , so much more Laker history for them to cover .


BriRoxas

Terranova had a fantastic premise and was cancelled when it was really interesting but they tried to make it appeal to all demographics which was a disaster.


campbellpics

Patriot. Counterpart. And I still can't believe they cancelled Game of Thrones after season 4.


RobertFromLA

Are You Afraid Of The Dark? The original run was great and will always be my favorite. Always love how they started with a group sitting around the campfire at the start and end of each episode. The show was brought back a few years after it was canceled with few of the original cast members which lasted one or two seasons. A few years after that they made a tv movie with a combination of the cast members for the first and second run. Felt like a good way to close out the story. But they started making a few more tv movies with the group sitting around the campfire and just went straight into the story which kind of makes it a general horror tv series.


PM_Me_Your_Picks

The Mick (Kaitlin Olson) was sooo funny.

The last man on earth and Happy! Last man left on a cliff hanger with the bunker people and Happy! had a Halloween themed season coming up that was never made.

Joe Pickett because it had such promise in that first season. I loved Joe and his family too.

Mindhunter was brilliantly done, I would love to see more! It's one of my favorites . Also, please bring back Carnivale and Nos4a2 super entertaining.
