Limitless. It was just starting to get to the good shit when they cancelled it!

I was also upset by Star Gate Universe's cancellation. I hadn't been a fan of StarGate prior to its release. Seen a couple bits here and there but never just watched the show. After going through SG-1 and Atlantis, I can see why OG fans didn't like Universe. But I still think it was great on its own, as someone who knew nothing about the OG series when I saw it. But, if they do re-explore the same story and ideas, I'd want it to be the same campy shit that SG-1 was, instead of the serious tones Universe had.

In order that I remember them now

• Drive
• John Doe
• The OA
• Sense8
• Limitless
• Dollhouse
• Tru Calling
• Dark Matter
• My So-Called Life
• Witchblade
• Carnivàle
• Probably more, I'll add them as I think of them

Firefly would make the list, if I watched it while it aired. But I didn't see it till later.

All time? Freaks and geeks. Was becoming the quintessential coming of age show, had hard lessons that were from the point of real kids growing up. Each character was relatable in their own way, and should have gone on for years.

Second to that is Arrested Development. And yeah it was rebooted but the cast had moved on. The show was on a great role and was just ahead of its time. The episodic nature of it just wasn't popular then.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I would have loved to see how they planned to resolve that cliffhanger.

I'm still not over Firefly. Or the Orville.

Santa Clarita Diet and Carnivale. HBO axed Carnivale, Deadwood and Rome back to back, and I still hold a grudge.

Edit: Enterprise and Lower Decks also still sting. Lower Decks is ao fucking brilliant and I hate that no one watches it!

Raised by wolves. Atheism vs Religion into the stars. It was so good and so much of the buildup was about to come to fruition. GAH!

Firefly and Pushing Daisies are staples in these conversations, so I'll throw in a less common one: NCIS LA.

I watched that show for over a decade. It was something predictable and comfortable. The show ending was like losing my favourite hoodie I've had for 14 years. Does it really impact my life? No. Do I miss it nonetheless? Yes.

ReBoot. One of the most incredible, ground-breaking shows of its time, but it ends on a cliffhanger. I'm still holding out hope that we'll get a movie to tie up the loose ends someday.

Mind hunter, surprised i didn't see it mentioned

A lot of good answers already. I'll add Santa Clarita Diet. It's a nice little show.

I'll never forgive Amazon for cancelling The Tick.

My Name Is Earl

Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles

Really, Westworld, but no one had mentioned TSCC yet.

Recently? Probably Kaos

Travelers

Or

Stargate Atlantis

Firefly

The Glades

Venture Brothers

Ash vs Evil Dead and Chucky

I was quite upset by The Peripheral recently. And although it didn't release to much fanfare, Constellation.

Glow

• Firefly
• Sense8
• Somebody Somewhere

EDIT:

• On Becoming a God in Central Florida
• Kaos

Futurama

Teen Titans ended with a cliffhanger and then Cartoon Network put out Teen Titans Go! just to add insult to injury. Certainly the pettiest thing I've been angry about for nearly 20 years.

Final space

Recently? The Peripheral, and Kaos.

Better off Ted.

Pushing Daisies.

Better off ted.

Show was brilliant

Lots of really good ones here. I’ll add Flashforward.

Pushing daisies was a hard pill to swallow. Such a great quirky show.

Kaos. That season 1 had me and my partner fucking hooked and they pulled the plug so fast it was hard to even finish it.

Darkwing Duck, it ends with the first episode of a two parter...

Arrested Development.

The Expanse.

V (2009)

Westworld..

The recent ones that come to mind are 1899, Scavenger’s Reign, and Infinity Train. All with good premises and cancelled prematurely.

Patriot

Millennium. X-Files spinoff with the venerable Lance Hendrickson.

2 seasons, although they managed to wrap it up at the end pretty well considering.

One of the most visceral, amazing shows ever made.

Scavengers Reign and Raised by Wolves
