For me it would have to be The Owl House
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
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.
Sym-Bionic Titan!
Terra Nova. Not great but interesting concept.
Girls 5eva.
Bloodline. It was cut short, I think. They had to rewrite and compress the ending. Damn that shit was good
Counterpart! The show was cut after season 2 and had a promising premise. Also, the actors were great and the story was really starting to pick up.
For anyone interested: Imagine your reality splitting into two and the resulting consequences a decade later. How much in common would you have with your other self if the split occurred in your childhood, adulthood, or even middle age? What choices before and after define you? Now add a brutal Cold War between the two realities. Would you trust you?
Surprised I haven’t seen this mentioned yet but
Firefly
Had such a cool universe and cast of characters and was getting super interesting right when it was cancelled
The OA
Yeah this one so much. I think its still amazing and the two seasons can each kinda stand on their own, and still have satisfying endings, but just knowing that they had an entire 5 season arc planned out drives me crazy considering how great that show was.
I was so sad to hear about it getting canceled. It wasn’t too long after the release of season 2.
I’ll mention one nobody has said yet: Kaos.
The last episode was definitely setting up a second reason that looked interesting, but then it never happened.
I’ll go with some not mentioned.
1899 - Same creators of Dark, so I feel like it would have been worth it.
Lie to Me- it was one of the “of the week” type shows that kept my interest back then
Freak and Geeks - Crazy it got one season. Almost every single cast member went on to be super famous.
Green Lantern The Animated Series. Would have been great to have a fully finished story for this.
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.
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.
Firefly
Stargate universe.
Battlegate Univactica?
