...and I mean ones that didn't reach their logical conclusion & ended abruptly leaving you disappointed & feeling kind of high and dry.

I'll start.

Vinyl
StartUp
The OA
Banshee (though can't remember if that went all the way)

I'm pretty sure Ray Donovan also had at least another season to go & that was probably my all time favourite.
 
There was this show called Siberia which was a fake reality show set in Siberia. It was kind of like a supernatural'ish version of Survivor and just got more mental as the episodes went on. Ended on one hell of a cliffhanger never to see the light of day again. It was oddly quite good.
 
Banshee did get a ending, Ray Donovan got a movie to finish it up.

Biggest shock was Evil , 4 seasons and was doing very well with viewing numbers but Paramount decided against it and no one else has picked it up even after the cast tried too,

Netflix shows:

Glow,
Marco Polo,
Love,
The Good Cop,
1899 (still bitter about this one)

Amazon shows:

Man in the High Castle,
The Tick,
Hand of God,
My Lady Jane,
Outer Range.
 
I enjoyed the santa clarita diet and pretty sure it got cancelled, along with Deadwood many years ago, I know they eventually released a film which in theory tied things up but haven't seen it as I now feel I'd need to rewatch the original series again first

Yes, I’d forgotten that one. Wasn’t it about people escaping a deadly virus? Couldn’t have been timed better given that I saw it in 2020ish

Yes, that was excellent
 
Dark Matter (2015) - was a nice easy to watch show reminiscent of many similar shows without aping them and was just getting to an interesting place when they killed it.
Travelers - great idea and still had a lot of ground it could cover.
Lockwood and Co - another nice easy watch that was just getting interesting then never renewed.

Also mourn Firefly.

Kind of related - shows I'd love to see reinvented with more time spend developing the premise:

Stargate Atlantis - though hard to replace some of the characters.
Terra Nova

Not a series - but the cliff hanger ending of Spiderman: Across The Spiderverse was hella annoying. And are they even ever going to release the next one?
