Agreed. This is always my immediate response.
Firefly. Agreed
Firefly
Yeah, this. It was such an interesting premise, an engaging cast, and really seemed to be going someplace interesting. Would've loved to see it get enough time to find its voice. Even their bottle episode was great fun.

Mindhunter, without a doubt.
I'm still sad when I think of what could've been

Shiny!
I wish the answer here was "Westworld".
That first season was perfect television. And that season finale? My god. I was so excited to watch season 2 and it... just fell short on all fronts. It has its moments, but ultimately failed to measure up to that first season.
Which would have been okay, but then season 3 and 4 happened, and diluted the overall quality of the show to a point where I stopped recommending the show to anyone and just tell them to stick to S1.
I want to live in a timeline where we left off on that S1 ending wondering what could have been.
Pushing Daisies
Itβs been 5,124 days 16 hours, 22 minutes and 54 seconds since viewers were last delighted by the whimsy and brilliance that was embodied by this one little show.
This is very difficult... and we must be very careful indeed...
You shouldn't ask for MORE simply because you enjoyed it.
Friends already seemed to go on endlessly - but most shows are rightly put to bed and overshadowed by newer and better ideas.
Now I'm watching Blue Light and don't miss NYPD blue.... I still watch Kojak occasionally, but I sure wouldn't want any MORE.
Gentleman Jack

Awesome stuff

HBO sucks and I hate them (but Band of Brothers was almost perfect, except that it was a little bit too restricted/condensed/reduced).
Black Mirror
'Nuff said.
- Given that this is a collection of stories, and that I started READING stories a lot more recently (currently just finished
Harrison Bergeron- the second story in "Welcome to the Monkeyhouse" written by Kurt Vonnegut. These stories are brilliant ideas put into short form - perfect.
Quantum Leap
- was almost as good, but a little more formulaic - so I'd vote for Black Mirror to take the flag forward for interesting short stories.
Talking about Black Mirror...
The OA
- Going back in history...
Firefly
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
- Anything of that time with Summer Glau looking incredibly gorgeous. Sure, you know I'm right - even when it's bad, it's just really good.
Scarborough (2019)
- lovely, and took me back to some childhood holidays.
Victoria (2016-19)
- certainly died too early (I love Jenna Coleman).
Tom and Jerry (original style, painted on glass, with no fear of being politically correct or educational).
Pink Panther
-
I know, they DID do more, a lot more Tom and Jerry - but most of that just sucks and I don't know why people even liked the continuation once the original atmosphere was lost. HD brought nothing to Tom n Jerry for sure.
-
Pink Panther owes 90% of it's success to bad drawing, amazing music, and sheer atmosphere surrounding mostly not amazing stories if the truth be told... but it worked so well. Hours of endless fun with just one bucket of blue, and another of pink paint... yes, you know what I'm talking about.
I still have a 'random cartoon' habit with Pink Panther/Tom n Jerry
There isn't much room for anything else in there.
I just wish there had been MORE of them.
Deadwood. The movie was too little way too late.
As a HUGE deadwood fan, i agree. Its probably my overall #1 favorite show of all time. I felt like the movie was Milch calling in before his disease took him completely.
The Expanse
Expanse ended on a good point. We would probably need at least 2 seasons to finish up the final trilogy. If one extra season would be all we got, I'd not want it tbh.

1899 has already been mentioned, so I'll say that Westworld deserved a final season.
Star Trek Enterprise season 5. That show was just starting to get really good.
Would love to have seen the Romulan wars.
firelfy
Game of thrones, but itβs the new series 7 and it rewrites original 7 and 8 and they donβt exist anymore.
Caprica.
They never really gave it a chance. It was slow at first but then started building suspense and drama and I was hooked and then devastated when they cancelled it.
Gravity falls
Pushing Daisies never got the ending it deserved. Everything had to be hastily wrapped up in one entire episode, third season setups were just left as loose ends, and it really didn't do such a great show justice

Stargate Universe. First season was garbage, but from like half of season 2 forward it was really good, and it ended on a huge cliff hanger

The Expanse. The show had a satisfying ending but the books went a bit further into the future and I'd like to see more in the shows.

Reboot, a Canadian CGI kids show about happenings inside a computer, the guardians, the viruses, the web, I used to love that show.
It ended in an intense cliffhanger π

1899
I'm still heartbroken Netflix cancelled it because it had the unfortunate timing of airing at the same time as Wednesday. The directors' previous series, "Dark", was a proper mindfuck.
I will never forgive Netflix for this one. A true wtf. So much money and talent put into it and then canceled because it didn't earn a crapload of money in the first month. Idiots. I'm glad Dark wasn't made now or it would also be canceled after one season.

The Orville. The only show I watched on basic cable at a particular time in ages. Glad they made the jump to hulu, but the 3rd session made me feel like they dumped a couple of seasons worth of plot into it, since they knew they weren't getting another season.
Chuck because I want to see that happy ending and Eureka because I miss the weird combo of sci-fi, comedy and drama
Seven seasons and a movie!
Eh...the last season was really weak IMO. The wheels fell off once Troy left and I think the meme of "six seasons and a movie" willed that final season into existence.
Limitless was sweet spot and had great potential, I liked Chuck and White Collar and Limitless was great series to watch after work and have just fun.
Sense8. There's nothing else quite like it. I really wanted to see more of that story, I'll never forgive Netflix for cancelling it.
