Obvious answer: Firefly

Unpopular answer: Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I for one agree wholeheartedly on both.

The expanse. Last trilogy is fire.

Avenue 5.

Deadwood.

Firefly.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

The good thing about The Expanse is that all of the characters are old in the last trilogy, so we could very well see it down the road with most of the original cast.

Niche show, but Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Holy shit that was a great show and SO well written, but I can see why it wasn't well received on a traditional TV format - if you didn't watch from the beginning and keep watching to the end it wouldn't make a lick of sense. Definitely meant to be enjoyed with a serious watch of an entire series and not episodically.

I would give my left foot for a Season 3.

I just wanted to post this! It felt like they were setting up a really interesting overarching plot with the "backstage of reality", I wish they told us what their plans for that were.

I know not a lot of people liked Stargate Universe, but I would have loved a proper ending there too.

I haven't read the comic, but from what I hear it's pretty different from the show.

Yep. Very good show that absolutely needs to be picked up by another studio. Too bad by the time they do, the kid actor will be like fucking 27. Rip.

[–] Lemming421@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Firefly

Stargate Atlantis

Stargate Universe (yes, almost all the characters was unlikeable, but I’d still have liked a resolution)

Star Trek Prodigy

Star Trek Lower Decks

The Lazarus Project

Stargate Universe.

They killed it when the show just had caught steam.

[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They did the same with Star Trek: Enterprise. It finally picked up momentum in the fourth season when Manny Coto took over as show runner, then they killed it.

Santa Clarita Diet. It's not too late (6 years ago) and they could still bring it back for a finale run of episodes or film.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It's too late (16 years ago) but the show had just started to figure itself out and setup a HUGE cliffhanger that sadly goes nowhere.

There are a few good ones I'd love to see, but at the top of my list are Firefly and Sense8.

Mindhunter, excellent production quality, unfortunately too high production quality for it's own good 😢

I would probably go for Westworld despite it admittedly getting a little out there. If not that, then V.

[–] pbjelly@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Yesssss. This! It was only one season from the ending!

The show felt like it was going off the rails for a while but I really wanted to know where it was going and it’s a shame we’ll never know.

I don't know if you guys have heard but there was this one sci-fi show on Fox that was aired out of order then canceled after only one season. It got a movie for some closure, but would have been nice to continue.

I forget the name... Burnybug or something like that... It's not very well known on the internet, so I'd be surprised if anyone else were to bring it up in a thread like this.

A series that basically nobody knows: John Doe

A guy wakes up in the middle of nowhere, not knowing who he is. But knows literally everything else. Basically walking Wikipedia

First season ended on massive cliffhanger and was cancelled

Archive 81. Absolute S tier banger of a show that Shitflix cancelled after 1 season.

Dark Matter (2015) - They just leave it on a cliffhanger on that after doing a premonition scene teasing about future events? How can you have a prophecy in a story but never have an ending?

spoilerI'm talking about that scene where the Android went forward in time and saw someone resembling Five was talking about a lot of future events, Dwarf Star Conspiracy, etc... during the Time Loop epispde where the Android was sent forward in time.
