I don’t think The Expanse was really cancelled rather than it was ended at a story point that makes sense to continue from sometime in the future. There’s something like a decade long time skip and a huge thematic shift between books 6 and 7.

That last season was disappointing to me

The answer is always firefly

Too soon…
FluorideMind@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’d you love firefly check it dark matter. It unfortunately faced the same fate though.
easily3667@lemmus.org 3 weeks ago
Yep, same characters too except they made the kaylee character into an adult pretending to be a child which was weird.

I cancelled Netflix because they cancelled Sense8 and The OA.
Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 3 weeks ago
Sense8 being cancelled was a crime

The Orville hasn’t been canceled, yet. S04 will enter production this year.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Thank you. It’s been sitting lonely in my Jellyfin for a long time waiting to hear this.

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.
randomuser38529@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I stopped sometime during season 3 or 4, can’t remember. Without spoiling anything if I decide to pick it up again: do we know what G stands for? Don’t tell me, just nod or something.
Akuchimoya@startrek.website 3 weeks ago
Yes, we do eventually find out what G stands for.

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.

Mind hunter, surprised i didn’t see it mentioned
MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Especially since it wasn’t a real cancellation, just “on indefinite hiatus” followed by “never coming back” almost five years later. The second season ending very much set up at least another season.
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
It was formally cancelled last year.
blarth@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
Yeah, so good! This was Netflix’s True Detective and they just…dropped it?
Stepskippin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Santa Clarita Diet and Carnivale. HBO axed Carnivale, Deadwood and Rome back to back, and I still hold a grudge.
barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I LOVED Lower Decks. Enterprise was probably the weakest of the ST series.
Stepskippin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
My love for T’pol politely disagrees.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Enterprise was ruined by lee moonves. It’s still far better than the 3 nutrek series( I called them post jj Abrams.
O_R_I_O_N@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
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!

I’ll never forgive Amazon for cancelling The Tick.
Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
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.

Kaos was great. I was surprised.

Oh, I’d also like to add any projects with Neil Gaiman getting canceled, too. Good Omens, Sandman, and Deadboy Detectives.

Stargate universe
InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Meh, the first season was horrible, Interstellar Gossip Girl. The second season was an infinite improvement, but it still felt like they didn’t really have any kind of plan, just keep the plot moving along while abuse Battlestar Galactica camera work to ratchet up the tension.
I get bleak, but this was bleak with no point, which is just sadness.
Hugin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I enjoyed the space adventure parts but every time they broke out the stones I lost interest.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Season 3 was going to rectify the lack of alien arcs. It got cancelled before that. And MGM had money problems too

Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles

Travelers
Or
Stargate Atlantis
Kolrami@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Stargate Atlantis was cancelled, but at least they made it home. Those Stargate Universe people are in for a lifetime of torture.

SGA was getting fucked by all the sg:1 writers that moved across and just kept writing sg1 with new names, it was a bit of a mercy kill
Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Sga was cancelled for sgu unfortunately because MGM was losing slot of money, they needed a cheaper show

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

I stopped watching new / incomplete shows after that.

Better off Ted.
Pushing Daisies.

Better off ted.
Show was brilliant
MintyFresh@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’d watch a spinoff of just those two scientists. They had such good chemistry together.
GingerGoodness@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
Zozano@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I thought the show ended with the movie and it wrapped things up?
GingerGoodness@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Trouble in Tokyo? I guess it wrapped things up in the sense of it finished its own story, but didn’t really resolve or conclude anything that was left hanging in the show.
To be fair to the creators, the comic version of TTG does fill in some blanks about Terra’s cliffhanger in issue #51, which is basically super condensed version of what I would have expected to be included in the season that got pitched and turned down.

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Im still debating on spending the $125 to get the book that finishes it.
grehund@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Recently? The Peripheral, and Kaos.
InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Kaos was so much fun, needed another 3-4 seasons.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Pushing daisies was a hard pill to swallow. Such a great quirky show.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
And, from that same era, Dead Like Me.
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Both Brian Fuller shows
Steve@communick.news 2 weeks ago
It sucks that it was only two seasons, but it did have a clean ending. No cliffhangers, or anything begging to be finished. I was happy with that.
d00phy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Lots of really good ones here. I’ll add Flashforward.
InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Oh god, this one should win.
It actually felt like there was a point to all the story threads, like they were trying to pull a Lost but actually had a plan in the beginning.
d00phy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Right!? There was some weird stuff going on, and the way the show started was pretty solid. Did they even finish the first season?

Firefly
AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I wonder how the person who’s decision it was to cancel firefly feels about this now. Do you think they were under a lot of pressures because of funding, or they just weren’t that into the show, or was there a new show they wanted to divert funding to. Wonder what the story was there.
