Sarah Connor Chronicles. They'd just jumped into serious weirdness and the world building lore had developed in a really interesting way.

This is an older one, but The Critic. It was on two different networks and lasted only one season on each network. It was a funny show, but the inconsistent schedule killed it way too early.

Debutant balls are outdated, elitist, and sexist. You said so yourself in your review of Boyz n the Hood.

The Critic was hilarious.

1899

It's a mystery show made by the same people that made Dark and I was so down for it. Then Netflix cancelled it after season 1

Reaper. It was a fun show with a great premise. Basically, a couple sells their sons soul to the devil before he is born. Then on his 21st birthday the devil arrives and informs him he is going to be a bounty hunter for hell. Also, Ray Wise played an awesome devil.

I'm glad to see Carnivàle has already been mentioned. If I could choose only one, that is it. There are many others that have been mentioned that are also on my list though. About the only shows I can think of that I haven't seen mentioned but would also add are Penny Dreadful and Jupiter's Legacy.

[–] yata@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Deadwood. It is still a classic top 5 HBO show, but unfortunately with so much wasted potential and unexplored storylines. I do rewatch it from time to time, but the knowledge of what could have been is kinda detracting from my full enjoyment of it.

Boardwalk Empire. It got more seasons than Deadwood at least, and also had a final episode which kinda wrapped things up, but it was so rushed and contrary to the general pace of the show that it is very jarring to watch.

Legends of Tomorrow

I mean, come on, we just got Donald Faison as Booster Gold in the final episode of season 7 and then they go and cancel it

Number one show I wish wasn't cancelled was Firefly, definitely. And more recently, 1899.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 6 points 2 years ago

Travellers. Magicians. If I had to choose only one, it would be Magicians, that show really needed one last season.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The F Word. It showed a different side of Ramsay and it was more about food than his other ones.

[–] Drgon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Dead like me was just starting to get interesting, when they canceled it and spat out a movie that didn't even try to wrap things up

[–] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I haven't watched TV in many years so these are pretty old. Super disappointed they were canceled.

Seven Days (1998-2001)

Life (2005-6)

Invasion (2007-9)

still salty about Glow and Legends of Tomorrow. Both were set up for, and could’ve been finished with, a final season.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

All good suggestions in this thread, but I'm going to throw it back to Sports Night. It had an incredible cast, great writing, and tons of potential.

Legend of the Seeker

[–] BowserBasher@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The Dark Crystal. That first series was a great build up and the preview at the end of it for the next looked awesome.
