TV shows you were enjoying that got cancelled

[something daft already!!]

Mr Inbetween.

This, The Wire and Breaking Bad are the only series I have watched through twice

 

[englishpremier]

Been mentioned a lot but I'm another that was hoping for more OA it was great story telling.

Other than that, ones I can remember off the top of my head.

The booth at the end
Dollhouse
The Event
Jericho - though it was getting tedious
Revolution - I can see why it was cancelled though.
Ascension - not sure it was cancelled as such, but certainly could have continued
Wayward Pines
Intruders
Newsroom
Studio 60 - as someone already mentioned
From - was annoying as hell but wanted to at least see if it went somewhere

Imposters - a bit of light watching
Continuum - some 6pm watching

I'm sure there are more. Silly stuff like 'Timeless', or 'Good Girls'

Quite liked first series of Black Donnelys. Disappointed it didn't get renewed.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

Robot Wars was cancelled, came back later on then got cancelled again. I miss that show.

 

[pecnarf]

Taboo was never officially cancelled, but I’m wondering if we’ll ever see it again

if you mean Bbc Taboo with tom hardy, it wasn't cancelled, it was in fact renewed for season 2 but due to number of factors work on it was delayed, currently it expected to air late 2023 to mid 2024.

Travelers

Terra Nove

Notice the theme here? A lot of these are sci-fi, or have some sci-fi element. Many cancelled despite having good to excellent viewer ratings.

Also a lot of Fox shows, I swear they sit with their finger over the cancel button

I’d read from that that we’re all computer nerds at heart rather than the networks having something against sci fi

Firefly the obvious one for me and a few others already mentioned.

Going back a bit now, but I'll add...

Odyssey 5 - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

 

[MR_Punk]

Loudermilk - I really enjoyed this and there is talks of it getting picked up by a different provider.
The League - Wasn't as good towards the end but was still exactly my type of humour.

 

[IvanDobskey]

This guy gets it

I can't stand Mackie at all, terrible actor who's undeserving of the low level of fame he's achieved.

I really enjoyed season one of altered carbon.

But Mackie pretty much killed season two. Only watched a couple and gave up.

They should have kept kinnaman.

 

[IvanDobskey]

Mindhunters was very good
Annoyed they cancelled night sky as it was getting interesting
Also miss the batpoop craziness of raised by wolves

 

[SixTwoSix]

They should have kept kinnaman.

I feel Kinnaman gets a bad rap off the back of the admittedly awful Robocop reboot, he's been solid in most other shows he's done though.

 

[SPG]

Utopia on C4

It was closed off but could have gone a bit further.

 

[chroniclard]

Were lots of these cancelled or just went on long enough to end anyway......

I don't think Kinnaman had much to work with on Robocop. It was just diabolically awful, nothing was saving it

He was good in the killing, season one of altered carbon and for all mankind.

He was great in House of Cards as well.

Mr Inbetween.

This, The Wire and Breaking Bad are the only series I have watched through twice

mr inbetween wasn't officially cancelled - scott ryan, who played and created the character, had simply had enough of the character but has hinted that he might make a re-appearance. i really hope he does.

Dara O'Briain's Go 8 bit . Bit of an obscure one this, was a relatively recent computer game nerd gameshow on Dave with that revolving stage. They used to mainly play retro games and that, and Dara was always good value, a surprisingly fun show. Anyway, cancelled after 3 series for no good reason. You can maybe add that other computer games show Bitz, I recall that kind of stopped all of a sudden.

Also, Time Commanders, I used to absolutely love that show. It came back for a few one off shows a few years back, but with the way the Total War games have developed surely there is more mileage in that type of show.
