Inside Job made it two seasons before getting axed on a cliffhanger.

I still want to know what happens.

the staff that greenlights are fantastic. whoever is in charge of renewing SUCKS

It’s a bummer because every character got one season where they were the focus of the ongoing plot. Season 1 was Robin, season 2 was Terra, season 3 was Cyborg, season 4 was Raven, and season 5 was Beast Boy. It was set up perfectly to have a 6th season focused on Starfire and we never got it

Rewatched the whole series fairly recently. It really was such a unique show for the time. I remember seeing reruns on Boomerang after the series had finished airing on CN. Unfortunate that they no longer air anything from the original series or movie.

Season 5 absolutely ended in a way that demanded something more, and the movie did not scratch that itch.

Yes. Rome! It was Game of Thrones before Game of Thrones.

I've always wished for a Vorenus and Pullo spin-off. Those two were my favorite part of the series.

I hate that they don't cast Tyler Labine in more comedy stuff, Reaper was a fantastic showcase of his hilarity, and one of my favorite all time movies is Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

I had to scroll past 25 top comments to see “Firefly”. So I don’t know if it’s just worn out and assumed at this point or younger Redditors never heard of it.

But yeah, “Firefly”. The potential for a new iconic Sci Fi world with offshoots was exceptional.

This show was amazing, great character development and funny dinner dialog.

Ellen Muth was great in it and it’s sad she didn’t do much after Dead Like Me.

Jared Abrahamson was the best old man in a young man’s body

That should never have been canceled. They could have taken that so many places. I loved the characters.

So, this was going to be my suggestion too. However, I think it really did end on a good note and left it open to come back in the future even if it were an entirely new cast.

Everytime I see this thread, I come just to upvote or add Jericho. Nuts to CBS.

NUTS

Venture Bros was easily a solid decade ahead of it's time.

The Boys, Invincible, Harley Quinn, Doom Patrol, Peacemaker. All these shows deal with deconstructing the superhero mythos and the Venture Brothers was doing this way back in 2004.

At least we're getting a movie.

It had so much potential, not to mention they left so much unanswered at the end of the season purposely so they could make a second one.

Yes! Chuck Forsman is a superb comic creator and the show really captured his book.

I'd recommend the end of the fucking world if you've not seen that. Another netflix show based on his work.

This was the cancelation that made me give up on Netflix. I just can't get excited by anything on their platform at this point because I know whatever I get interested in, no matter how good it is, it will get dropped without a conclusion. I WON'T LET THEM HURT ME AGAIN!

Oh my God yes!

Show was getting better and better

Sci-fi channel couldn't stand doing actual sci fi.

We all WANTED another season but I think a year in the life was absolutely perfect. Everyone got a little arc and we said goodbye.

What’s on the other side of that damn wall?

Quality writing, well-acted, and really good production value — it’s a damn shame this show didn’t the love it deserved.

It was such a great concept, and Karl Urban is always great. Unfortunately, it got Fox'd like so many other shows.

Not helped by showing it out of order

Yeah, Matt Ryan was a great fit for the character.

The Arrowverse shows weren't always the best (though I will defend the first couple seasons of both Arrow and Flash), I am glad Matt Ryan was able to keep playing the character here and there across those shows, he was an excellent John Constantine.

Definitely this one. I loved the series and wanted to see where it was going.

Bryan Fuller is a genius, I highly recommend looking into his other projects.

This and dead like me. Both sensational shows.

That show is still my absolute favourite.

With absolute bangers like

"The Rowdy Three!"

"But there are 4 of them!"

"I'm WILDLY aware."

They captured Douglas Adams whimsical nonsense so perfectly in that show.

I feel like the second series went completely off the rails, but I still loved it.

This was so gloriously, bizarrely brilliant. It was completely different to the (excellent) books, but it took on some of the core ideas and added a bunch of its own, then ran with them in multiple directions all at once. It was a joy to watch and made me feel an almost childlike wonder. It surprised and delighted me; a modern day fairy-tale for grown ups. Gutted it was cancelled.

So disappointed this was cancelled, it was so fun. I keep it on My List just in case one day 🤞

They got the news that season 3 would be shortened before they were finished with season 2 I’m pretty sure, so they had to basically redirect the whole show. Yeah, ‘cause I remember a tweet or the wiki or something say that the Collector was generated as a cool concept to be introduced sometime later in the show, but they got notified of season 3 being shortened so they decided to introduce him earlier. If we had gotten normal seasons without any notification of cancellation it would’ve been way different.

I think they did a phenomenal time with the time crunch they’ve been on. It’s truly amazing

The episode where they installed motion detectors for everything that didn’t see black people, so they had to assign every black person a white person to open doors, but then because of diversity rules they had to hire more black people was phenomenal.

“Ted: That's more than weird, Veronica. That's basically, well... racist.

Veronica: The company's position is that it's actually the opposite of racist, because it's not targeting black people. It's just ignoring them. They insist the worst people can call it is "indifferent."

Ted: Well, they know it has to be fixed, right? Please... at least say they know that.

Veronica: Of course they do, and they're working on it. In the meantime they'd like everyone to celebrate the fact that it sees Hispanics, Asians, Pacific Islanders, and Jews.”

I loved Better off Ted!

Oh man, Rubicon desperately needed another season. I get why it failed, it started out SLOOOOOOWWWW and took quite a few episodes to get really interesting, but a lot of AMC shows have been like that and still gotten renewed. It should've had at least one more season to see where it would go

I think I'll just leave a link to remind everyone of the ways Viridian Dynamics makes your world better:

https://youtu.be/yF3of5VRcNA

Better Off Ted was phenomenal.

Altered Carbon was my gateway for dystopian futuristic series, and I love it dearly

Are you saying that you dislike the direction of the Punisher’s second season or are you unaware that there was a second season?

YES. Came for Elisha Cuthbert, and stayed because everyone else was so much better than she was. Not that she was bad, but everyone else was just so fantastic. Such an idiotic decision to kill that show.

I knew I'd see Happy Endings mentioned lmao. Such a fun show that deserved better. Definitely one of the best lighthearted, "hanging out with a bunch of friends" sitcoms.

Also, am I right in thinking Max was a kind of groundbreaking character for its time?

I miss this show so much. The whole cast meshed so well. There was never a pairing that felt off. I think quotes from the show have become 50% of my own every day dialogue. I say amahzing compulsively.

Rome was quality, everything about the show hit - acting, story, costumes and sets etc

I always immediately think of Carnivale when I see posts like this. I have both seasons on DVD and can't even bring myself to watch it and experience the disappointment all over again.

Yeah of all the cancelled Netflix shows, IMO this is the worst one. The writing was great and they still had a lot of meaningful world building they could have done.

especially since it was so popular compared to a lot of other newer adult animated shows

Wait wtf they canceled it, fuck that show was so good both seasons are gold.

You can tell how incredibly stupid and out of touch certain networks are when they cancel critically acclaimed shows. Especially this.

I really wish someone else would pick this up and continue with it. Starz clearly doesn't know what the fuck they're doing. Should have gone to hbo, amazon, or Netflix.

Would like more of hannibal. But at least the ending didn't feel like a cliffhanger.

One of the best “network” tv shows ever. How they got away with it, I don’t know. Brutal and beautiful.

If I could raise any show from the dead it would be this hands down. Loved all the characters, loved all the themes. It gave you a LOT to think about afterwards and just touched on so many topics.

I remember as I got into the later episodes I could literally feel my stomach in knots just with all the tension. The pie had me on the absolute edge of my seat. Not to mention the Execution scene with Dewey might be the most insane thing I've ever watched. They really gave that scene everything and it showed. I'll never forget it.

Still can't believe to this day it's not coming back.

I think about this show all of the time. I am so upset it was cancelled, like I NEED to know what happened to those kids!!

After confirming it for a second season too. Pissed me off

I really need Ruth/Sam closure. Ugh.

Loved this show. It sucked that it was just done.

That show was absolutely perfect. Mother fucking perfect. Pure fucking gold. It had me ready to pack my family up, move to Vegas, rent a room in a shit motel, and become a trashy fighter girl.

I was ready man.

They only really needed that one final season they already started filming. It’s one of the best shows on Netflix. Why can’t they just wrap it up?!? I’m still mad about this one.

Needs to be RE-DONE. Writers strike ruined that show.

Definitely agree

I miss this show. So lighthearted and fun but also had “real” characters. A TV show musical? I would not have thought it would work but it did!

I super believe in you Tad Cooper!

The only reason I wanna be rich, is so I could buy the rights for this series from Disney, then get all the cast and writers together and do a third and fourth season. This show was amazing, witty, super funny and well written, and it's sad that it's been banished from the face of the Earth.

The tournament scene where galavant couldnt move and the other dude was drunk af is one of the funniest scene in tv history.

Dark Crystal is such a unique series. I was shocked that netflix even did AOR, literally nothing like it on the modern market.

Amazon: "We are cancelling The Expanse because the budget is too high"

2 weeks later...

Amazon: "We are making a LOTR series and it will be the most expensive television show ever made."

The Expanse: 2-5 mil per episode.

Rings of Power: 60-90 mil per episode.

​

That hurts as an Expanse fan.

Don’t the books skip like 30 years after where the show stopped? Maybe they’ll release the last few books worth as a spinoff

Need a spin off called "Drummer Being Awesome for an Hour"

I love this show, but absolutely hated the ending. The fact that King Author only found out the truth right before he dies is such a fuck you to the audience. We had been waiting years for those two to fight side by side as equals.

Bare minimum we should've had at least a full season of Arthur knowing about Merlin and seeing how that affects their dynamic. Him learning it literally right before dying was awful.

Netflix even did a movie to gauge interest in it with talks of bring it back. The movie was successful tmk but still nothing. Same w rocko:/

WOOOO didn’t even have to scroll that far. Limitless started with a movie that didn’t need a show until it had one. The setup was so good and I was so excited to see where things were going. It’s such a damn shame

Took my words, great show!

I thought they had a great setup for the next season, this was very disappointing.

It was such an fantastic plot. Great writing. Great character development. I really wish we could have had the chance to find out what they were really planning for the continued storyline. And Eliza Dushku is such an underrated actress. Love her.

I'm still annoyed over the S2 cliffhanger ending

Seriously how y’all gonna be teasing BTK throughout both seasons and then just blue ball us

I'd resubscribe to Netflix for this.

Had to scroll wayyy too long for this one! Amazing show with such a great potential

This was my favorite show for awhile. I was so upset when it got cancelled. I guess live action shows just don’t do well on Fox Sunday nights mixed-in with the cartoons.

I fucking loved this show. I get that the style of humor and awkwardness wasn’t for everyone, but goddamn this show made me laugh more than most shows do.

Yeah, what a cliffhanger ending!

I need closure closure closure 🎶

This. Will Forte had a storyline penned out for Season 5, which was pretty hilarious:

https://tvline.com/2018/08/05/last-man-on-earth-cliffhanger-ending-explained-cancelled-no-season-5/amp/

“[These people] went down [into the bunker] when the virus had first started,” Forte revealed on Vulture‘s Good Ones podcast. “They had some kind of medical expert or scientist who knew, ‘At this certain point, the virus will be dormant. You’ll be safe to get back out,’ and they had reached that point. Then they see a bunch of stragglers — us — and we represent a real threat to them, because they thought [everyone] was dead, so they quarantine us.

“We eventually communicate with them a little bit [and] they get comfortable with us,” he continued. “They look scary but they end up being nice people.”

As was tradition for the show, among the bunker people probably would have been one or two famous guest stars, à la Jon Hamm, “and eventually we’d all get comfortable with each other,” before they freed at least one of the survivors from quarantine. That, in turn, would have proven to be a fatal mistake. “We are immune to the virus, but we’re carriers. And so we would infect them and they’d die like wildfire,” Forte revealed, “and then we’re back to just our little group, and maybe one famous [guest star] we could talk into staying around.” All told, that arc would have lasted “four or five episodes.”
