For me it would have to be The Owl House
Sandman. Only comic I’ve ever really read and the show was surprisingly on point. Even given Gaiman’s evil history I think it’s doing us fans a disservice by killing it.
The second season is coming. But I won’t be watching it. Which really hurts because the comics meant a lot to me.
Was it killed? I didn’t know. Bummer.
Freaks and Geeks
Definitely my pick as well. Really good show. “There is a party. And even the geeks are invited!”
Absolutely would love more Owl House!
Archive 81. First season was great. Loved the audio too.
I really wanted to like it, it started out so interesting. The last few episodes just didn’t go in a direction I liked.
I’ll throw in something most people haven’t watched: The Brink
Firefly
Raised by Wolves
Game of Thrones, but written by the author
Wheel of Time (in case you missed it, it’s canceled)
Years and Years
Utopia (UK, 2013)
I have a WoT quote in my wedding ring so not an entirely unbiased fan. But good riddance to that show. “Alternative turn of the Wheel” my ass
Was Years and Years discontinued/the ending was changed? From how I saw it, it seemed to have a proper ending.
It was just 1 season right? Felt to me it had so much potential to continue, like a buildup to something but noting to follow up
It seemed like a self contained single season to me, not sure what more would have entailed. Could still be interesting though, I suppose
Maybe it’s just that I fell in love with the dystopian world they created and loved to see more. It’s a while ago that I saw it, can’t remember the ending anymore. Didn’t stick but the feeling and the world they created did.
the game of thrones ending was actually written by the author, he gave them the biggest moments that would happen
I heard is wasn’t written by him, as the books aren’t finished yet, but he approved the screenwriters to continue writing and he approved what they wrote.
i worded it wrong it wasnt written by him but he gave the the baseline for what would happen, mainly the mad queen, jon snow’s heritage, and one other thing i cant remember
Yeah but it was written in a Hollywood way. With heroism etc where characters are central, while the books regularly kill main characters and show a much deeper important layer where characters are just disposable tools. That’s why everyone is so disappointed with the seasons which have no books imo.
Crusade (Babylon 5 spinoff)
Final Space.
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.
Did it star a guy whose name rhymed with Latent Billion?
That show has been mentioned several times in this thread.
Nooooo waaay… Realllly?
Waaaaay - Firefly.
No, I don’t think that’s right… It was like Inflamedinsects or something similar… It was super low-key, not a lot of people have heard about it, zero chance someone on Lemmy would post it.
Fox did the same thing with Firefly. Showed the episodes out of order and cancelled after one season. It also got a movie years later.
Seems like I had heard someone mention something similar once but dont remember much about it
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
That sounds like a cool premise!
I always talk about this and also have the feeling no one knows about it. In any case I think I read somewhere that the idea was going to be along the lines of “right before you die you have a moment of clarity where you know everything, John had had a boating accident that led to that moment and he came back from the death”. Honestly knowing what the future looked like sometimes I’m almost glad it got cancelled, because I think that would have been a bit of a boring explanation.
Yup, the creators talked about the planned premise
I kind of like it. Depending on how they reveal it and build up on it
I think about that last shot, looking up at the bartender all the time. Weirdly the only other thing I can think about the main character being in is blade 3.
HarmonQuest
Mindhunter, excellent production quality, unfortunately too high production quality for it’s own good 😢
Yes man it’s a damn shame that one got canned, it was solid
Red Dwarf, but with both Naylor and Grant continuing on from before the split. It felt to me that the quality dropped once they fell out and Grant left.
GoT, shame it got cancelled after GRR ran out of material, what would a sixth and seventh series looked like? Not some badly written, overly nasty, fan fiction, but actual quality as we had in the earlier seasons and books?
True Detective season one, by that I mean actually carrying on that plot line with the abuse cult rather than the “reboots” with new casts and settings in the future seasons. Those are great, I still want those, but I also want more of what we had in season one.
Hannibal, its time to revisit this overly stylized wardrobe of a cooking show
If HBO were smart, they’d just call Redo on the last one or two seasons with new, but seasoned writers. I rewatch genre shit like this all the time, but I can’t be bothered with this one because the ending is so rushed. I constantly want to, but not once since the ending.
I’d sign a petition demanding it. D and D lost star wars but I wonder if any assisting writers, hbo managers etc got sacked for not stopping it.
I’d like to see the end of Utopia.
They set up a lot of things and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see how they played out.
Wonderfalls
Also Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me
Yes all of Brian Fuller’s shows deserved better
