The one true answer.
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.
Firefly!!!! FFS this should always be the #1 answer
Agreed. This is always my immediate response.
Firefly. Agreed
Looks down at tshirt.... Yup
Firefly ππ
Shiny!
Firefly. There is no other answer for me.
Came here to say this. The movie helped but not as much as another season.
Mindhunter, without a doubt.
I'm still sad when I think of what could've been
firelfy
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.
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.
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. 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.
Chuck because I want to see that happy ending and Eureka because I miss the weird combo of sci-fi, comedy and drama
People have already beaten me to Firefly over and over again so I'll add one likely to have been forgotten:
Carnivale.
Ended on an unbelievable cliffhanger, left SO MUCH unanswered, could've run for another decade. I'm re-mad that this show got canceled now.
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
Game of thrones, but itβs the new series 7 and it rewrites original 7 and 8 and they donβt exist anymore.
The Tick. Any iteration really, but cartoon or Amazon version over the Fox live action.
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
Stargate!
SGA - there was a planned season 6 where Atlantis ended up going through time, then to the triangulum galaxy and more time hijinks. Atlantis Vs Atlantis and peace in the Pegasus galaxy. You can find it on the josephmallozi blog as Stargate Atlantis virtual season 6
SGU - had so much potential and season 2 was good. It ended with the crew going into stasis to travel the gap between galaxies...
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.
Better off Ted
Pushing Daisies
ETA: I should've finished reading this thread. Of course these two would be mentioned!
Dirk Gently, the BBC America/Netflix one.
First season, phenomenal! Second season was pretty good, not as good as the first but still good. It set up a lot of things that were then not continued and I just want to know what they had planned.
Also Snowpiercer: You've filmed it, you've edited it, just let us see it!
(Edit: posted this as a reply to someone else. My bad!)
Gravity falls
I was gonna say Raised by wolves and Adventure Time, but I see those have gotten the deserved attention so I'm gonna add Kidding. Not because it was left in a bad way, but it was just an amazing show.
...but I mean Raised by wolves just hurts, it was just peaking goddamnit!
Fringe
Star Trek Enterprise season 5. That show was just starting to get really good.
Would love to have seen the Romulan wars.
Final Space.
Olan had one season left before the company buried the show as a tax write off
