Scavengers Reign and Raised by Wolves
villainy@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Scavengers Reign was fantastic and its cancellation was a travesty.
Raised by Wolves was very good too but man… Scavengers Reign…

Tuca and Bertie. Netflix cancelled it, then HBO made another season. But just before releasing it HBO cancelled it for a tax break. It’s heartbreaking to think of the writers and animators pouring their lives into it just for nobody to ever see it.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 days ago
I forgot which other network did the same thing, created a movie than cancelled for tax breaks, I think it was warner brothers?

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.
TheLoneMinon@lemm.ee 5 days ago
Oh damn, really? I thought I read season 2 was a go but that was a cursory google months ago. Fuckin Netflix.
Condiment2085@lemm.ee 4 days ago
I just double checked and yeah it’s cancelled. Here’s a quick article:
grehund@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Recently? The Peripheral, and Kaos.
InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 5 days ago
Kaos was so much fun, needed another 3-4 seasons.

Better off Ted.
Pushing Daisies.

Sort of counts, but KOTH.
Fox took it off the air FOUR episodes from the finale to “make room for The Cleveland Show” of all things, the worst offering from those Family Guy clones imho.
Luckily, Adult Swim was kind enough not only to pick up KOTH, but to air those last missing episodes as well, and I have it all torrented by now of course and it was easy to find, but still, fuck Fox for that one (amongst other things, but I want to punch the specific exec that decided to do that right in the eye just one good time.)

- The expense

The expense
A multi-season, high-tense drama series where Gary attempts to expense his lunch through SAP.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 days ago
I haven’t watched the show, apparently they purposely end it because the new books is a time jump
demphos@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Utopia was really a good show
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 days ago
Deadwood. It was my favorite show ever. They made a movie a couple years ago to wrap things up but it’s not the same
d00phy@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Lots of really good ones here. I’ll add Flashforward.
InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 5 days 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 5 days 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?
DemandtheOxfordComma@sh.itjust.works 6 days ago
Westworld…
Zozano@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Still haven’t watches the last season… I don’t see the point now.
timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
I think we gave up somewhere in season 3. No idea which season was the last. First season was awesome and by the third I had no idea where they were going with it. No desire to know at that point either.
waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Patriot
CaptSneeze@lemmy.world 5 days ago
The best show that I still can’t convince anyone to watch. Excellent pick.
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days ago
Tbf it’s a tough sell, “I’ve seen The Patriot before, I don’t need to watch it again except maybe the ‘Aim small, miss small’ scene” “Oh it’s a completely distinct entity with a close title? Oh ok, yeah sure I’ll put it on the list.” *Never watches half of the list*

ha, I forgot about this show - I remember it being well made
MimicJar@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Terriers.
Terrible name for a fun show.
Mild Terriers last episode spoiler
The last episode has the two main characters drive off in different directions, knowing they’ll probably never see each other again. It’s actually a beautiful ending, but I wish they could have reunited.
hamburgers@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Yup, that is one of my favorite shows. So good. Donal logue and Michael raymond-james work so well together.

Arrested Development.
The Expanse.
Skavau@lemm.ee 6 days ago
Expanse left at a time jump, so it’s not implausible it could come back.
CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 6 days ago
The Expanse
Read the books, starting at book 7. The plot in the show is almost identical to the plot in the books. It shouldn’t be too hard to just pick them up.
However, the books are better than the show. I thoroughly enjoyed reading books 1-6 in preparation for reading 7-9. You get to read from various characters’ point of view. It’s so much deeper than the show.
You even get chapters from the point of view of...
Protomolecule Miller.
And the point of view of...
Random other people consumed on Eros. Seriously creepy shit! They didn’t die. They can’t die.
breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 4 days ago
I’ve read them all but I’m still bummed that the show got cancelled. Although, a lot of the stuff that happens in 7-9 feels kind of unfilmable to me. But, hey, they’re adapting 3 Body Problem which is insanely unfilmable so who knows.
I actually think the show complements the books really well – probably because the authors were so involved in the production. In a few cases, I think they were able to fix some mistakes in the books on a second go around and also added to the world in brilliant ways too. Belter Creole as a spoken language, for example, doesn’t really exist in the books and was created for the show. It’s also interesting replacing the subjective view of the point of view characters with the objective view of the camera. In the first book, it just bounces back and forth between Miller and Holden. You don’t really know what’s going on system-wide because they don’t. Having that perspective shift is really cool and it’s done in a way that feels cohesive and consistent with the world of the books.

Stargate Atlantis and universe, Star Trek enterprise, Les moonves destroyed the last good series. , nutrek just suck balls. The animated series attempts to cure that though, the live actions are so bad, STD, Picard and snw is not as good as it looks.
Atlantis and universe was under MGM so they had significant financial problems , been plaguing them for years, also the low viewership retired the whole franchise. The show runners allegedly said it’s not possible for another series, due to “societal climate”

AOS was fully under Disney and was canceled because of the lack of support due to infighting between Ike Perlmutter and Kevin Feige.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 days ago
sad, they couldnt work out a deal.
boughtmysoul@lemmy.world 6 days ago
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.

Colony … www.imdb.com/title/tt4209256
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 days ago
Yeah, that’s probably the big one for me, with Jericho being a close second.
I generally don’t like alien invasion plot lines because in most of them there doesn’t seem to be a reason for the aliens to invade Earth. But with Colony there seemed to be a reason for the invasion, it just wasn’t quite revealed. To conscript humans to be soldiers to fight against some other alien race… I guess? They really left us hanging there.
Jericho would’ve been worse, but at least they made a mini-series to explain things and give an ending. Well and open-ended kind of ending, but we can kind of imagine how the rest of the story would go. With Colony, we didn’t get that.
Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 4 days ago
Jericho mini series? Can you elaborate?
Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days ago
Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet and it deserves to be on these lists h Archive 81.
Such a great suspense show that was really starting to go somewhere by the end of the season.
Hugin@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I also liked the show. However your comment about " [it] was really starting to go somewhere by the end of the season" is a good example of why it didn’t get another season.
Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days ago
Yeah, that sounds like I’m saying it found it’s groove or something, I know.
What I was actually trying to say is that it stood on it’s own as a psychological suspense show, but then by the end of the season they inserted several twists and turns that made it something more. It would have been fun to see what they could do with a season 2.
veeesix@lemmy.ca 6 days ago
The recent ones that come to mind are 1899, Scavenger’s Reign, and Infinity Train. All with good premises and cancelled prematurely.

I know that everything has to come to an end. By I hoped for more parks and recreations. I wouldn’t even mode a different crew. Different city. Just keep Ron Swanson .

Nick Offerman is an absolute gem.
I want to see him in a sitcom directed by Dan Harmon.
