I really enjoyed "last man on earth"

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I was in awe with this show. Had waited years for it and was not disappointed! I loved the story and the set pieces were absolutely gorgeous. You could tell a lot of love and care was put into it. I was hoping they’d go all the way with this show and that it would end naturally as a full prequel story to The Dark Crystal.

But no. Netflix pulled the plug on Age of Resistance after the first season because it was too expensive. It still stings to this day.

Final Space deserves to be mentioned here. I know there's a wrap up graphic novel slated and I'm super excited to see where Olan goes with Godspeed. But having the whole ip basically wiped off the face of the earth as a tax write off has to be one of the most messed up ways to cancel a show...

The Dark Crystal. That first series was a great build up and the preview at the end of it for the next looked awesome.

Infinity Train

Reaper. It was a fun show with a great premise. Basically, a couple sells their sons soul to the devil before he is born. Then on his 21st birthday the devil arrives and informs him he is going to be a bounty hunter for hell. Also, Ray Wise played an awesome devil.

Friends. It should have been cancelled right after the pilot.

Sarah Connor Chronicles. They'd just jumped into serious weirdness and the world building lore had developed in a really interesting way.

Travellers. Magicians. If I had to choose only one, it would be Magicians, that show really needed one last season.

Constantine. It had it's problems, like many Arrowverse shows at the time, but Matt Ryan was a fantastic John Constantine and I thought the show had a lot of untapped potential.

Humans.

Farscape

Deadwood

Codemonkeys, and Clone High.

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

This appeals to Hongkongers only, but I miss 頭條新聞 (News Headlines) (I made up this translation)

Despite its name, this was a sarcastic show aired on RTHK, an official government channel. It talks about a lot of events, poor decisions and wrong-doings of the government in a funny way. Unfortunately it was shut down in 2020, by the government.

Our democracy and freedom have been declining since then.

Here's a playlist of them archived

Snowpiercer, damn you Discovery

Lie to Me

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.

Inside Job.

I didn't really watch shows on Netflix and I couldn't care less about people complaining about their shows being cancelled left and right. But Inside Job was recommended by my friend and I loved it. After finding out it was cancelled after 2 seasons, I finally understood the pain these people were feeling all along...

Utopia

great soundtrack too

Lie To Me

Alien Nation

The F Word. It showed a different side of Ramsay and it was more about food than his other ones.
