TV shows you were enjoying that got cancelled

[rp2000]

Counterpart, intelligent sci-fi with a great performance from J.K.Simmons.

I forgot this one! Show was awesome and ticked all the boxes for good sci-fi. Was gutted when it was cancelled after season 2.

Nothing to do with Mackie, season 2 was just badly written

Season 2 definitely was, but Mackie can be blamed for not even trying to be the same character as season one, a gap that gets even more jarring

Spoiler

once the original Kovacs gets brought back and they end up together on screen

What was the new quantum leap one... That had promise but i think it was killed off by the writers strike

Also Lethal Weapon! Was enjoying that until they axed the guy playing Riggs.

Both seasons were badly written. Mackie phoning it in didn’t help.

Does this at least get some kind of ending or is it just - bam, over, questions remain unanswered? I've been considering watching it for some time but the fact it got cancelled makes me hesitant, appears to be a show entirely up my street.

It kind of ends, but is left open to the series continuing, if you know what I mean.

It's definitely still worth watching.

Terranova!

Journeyman?

I did enjoy that, I think it was around the time Prison Break, Heroes and maybe even Breaking Bad was out so struggled for ratings.

 

[something daft already!!]

Counterpart was good.
Police Squad
I quite liked Swamp Thing.
Vinyl

Lucifer didn't get cancelled it ran through to completion. It just moved from Amazon to Netflix.

Forgot about Reaper that was good.

Amazon cancelled it. Netflix bought the rights to it and brought it to an accelerated conclusion.

Was Police Squad cancelled or did it just evolve into movies? Agreed though, it would have been great to have had more of it.

Rome

 

[whiskycycle]

still think this should have been continued

 

[SPG]

Dark Matter
Counterpart
Raised by Wolves
OA (Criminal this was dropped, I love a well written WTF is going type show)
Expanse (even if the last couple of books were complete cack, maybe they will when the actors are older)

[MookJong]

Mindhunter, I was shocked and gutted that ended.

 

[Flibster]

My Name Is Earl
Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - Shame they put 3 seasons worth of storylines into the second half of the season when they knew they were getting cancelled.
Daredevil
Almost Human
Ash vs Evil Dead
Futurama - multiple times... and it's coming back again!
Deadwood

 

[Doobedoo]

[Darujhistan]

I wouldn't worry too much with some of these shows the way Hollywood/Major Studios operate these days they'll all be remade sooner or later.

 

[MarcLister]

Firefly

My first thought.
