For me it would have to be The Owl House
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)
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.
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
Scavengers Reign 100%
other notable mentions are Pantheon and Sense8
Sym-Bionic Titan!
Cursed.
Shadow & Bone (but what I really want is the six of crows spinoff).
WoT.
Dead Boy Detectives.
Magic City
House of Cards
Bookie. Possibly my favorite show ever.
Obvious answer: Firefly
Unpopular answer: Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog.
I for one agree wholeheartedly on both.
Let’s crowdfund Act 4, but done with stop motion Lego.
Dr Horrible had a great ending. That show is as pure and perfect as it can be. Also, Firefly actually got a good ending unlike so many other shows.
I can’t disagree, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want more.

Also apparently Joss Whedon is a cunt :(
Rewatching old shows is painful. So much homophobia and sexism and racism was played for laughs
And that’s just Xander.
I haven’t rewatched firefly in over a decade I think. What has aged so terribly? Also why is the anti hero thing so bad? Played out now?

Those are all good points though I disagree a bit with the brown coats/confederates but I get what you mean.
I think I’ll let that show sit in my memory as it is. Without rewatching any of it I can definitely see the issues. Especially Jayne thinking more on it

The expanse. Last trilogy is fire.
Avenue 5.
Deadwood.
Firefly.
The good thing about The Expanse is that all of the characters are old in the last trilogy, so we could very well see it down the road with most of the original cast.
Niche show, but Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Holy shit that was a great show and SO well written, but I can see why it wasn’t well received on a traditional TV format - if you didn’t watch from the beginning and keep watching to the end it wouldn’t make a lick of sense. Definitely meant to be enjoyed with a serious watch of an entire series and not episodically.
I would give my left foot for a Season 3.
So many good characters, so many potential plot lines. Allan Tudyk is good in everything he does
I just wanted to post this! It felt like they were setting up a really interesting overarching plot with the “backstage of reality”, I wish they told us what their plans for that were.
Pushing Daisies.
Yes, please and thank you!
Stargate Atlantis
I know not a lot of people liked Stargate Universe, but I would have loved a proper ending there too.
I haven’t read the comic, but from what I hear it’s pretty different from the show.
The only reason I didn’t say Universe is because I didn’t really care for it. The tone was too different for me and wasn’t the Stargate I loved. Atlantis felt very much like SG-1 but with a different setting, enemies, etc, and it was cancelled to focus on Universe.
The writers saw BSG and wanted to make BSG but Stargate. It’s a rough fit hahaha
Yes, absolutely agree.
It had the ol “eh it’s the last season just like writers do whatever the fuck they want” thing happen, and behold, there were several great episodes in the last season.
Better Off Ted
Such an amazing show. Predicted the future along with Idiocracy
Raised. By. Wolves.
Yep. Very good show that absolutely needs to be picked up by another studio. Too bad by the time they do, the kid actor will be like fucking 27. Rip.
Obligatory Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles mention.
