Firefly
The Expanse.
Firefly.
I don’t think The Expanse was really cancelled rather than it was ended at a story point that makes sense to continue from sometime in the future. There’s something like a decade long time skip and a huge thematic shift between books 6 and 7.

Too soon…
Firefly
Raised by Wolves
Better Off Ted
Raised by Wolves was very trippy but it felt like they knew where it was going and the acting was fantastic. At least it was as original as it gets.
Why was it cancelled exactly?
Limitless. It was just starting to get to the good shit when they cancelled it!
I was also upset by Star Gate Universe’s cancellation. I hadn’t been a fan of StarGate prior to its release. Seen a couple bits here and there but never just watched the show. After going through SG-1 and Atlantis, I can see why OG fans didn’t like Universe. But I still think it was great on its own, as someone who knew nothing about the OG series when I saw it. But, if they do re-explore the same story and ideas, I’d want it to be the same campy shit that SG-1 was, instead of the serious tones Universe had.

In order that I remember them now
- Drive
- John Doe
- The OA
- Sense8
- Limitless
- Dollhouse
- Tru Calling
- Dark Matter
- My So-Called Life
- Witchblade
- Carnivàle
- Probably more, I’ll add them as I think of them
Firefly would make the list, if I watched it while it aired. But I didn’t see it till later.
Sense8 being cancelled was a crime
I cancelled Netflix because they cancelled Sense8 and The OA.
All time? Freaks and geeks. Was becoming the quintessential coming of age show, had hard lessons that were from the point of real kids growing up. Each character was relatable in their own way, and should have gone on for years.
Second to that is Arrested Development. And yeah it was rebooted but the cast had moved on. The show was on a great role and was just ahead of its time. The episodic nature of it just wasn’t popular then.
Firefly and Pushing Daisies are staples in these conversations, so I’ll throw in a less common one: NCIS LA.
I watched that show for over a decade. It was something predictable and comfortable. The show ending was like losing my favourite hoodie I’ve had for 14 years. Does it really impact my life? No. Do I miss it nonetheless? Yes.
Ash vs Evil Dead and Chucky
Ash vs Evil Dead was incredible
A lot of good answers already. I’ll add Santa Clarita Diet. It’s a nice little show.
Futurama
Which time lol
Raised by wolves. Atheism vs Religion into the stars. It was so good and so much of the buildup was about to come to fruition. GAH!
Needs a petition
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I would have loved to see how they planned to resolve that cliffhanger.
Glow
ReBoot. One of the most incredible, ground-breaking shows of its time, but it ends on a cliffhanger. I’m still holding out hope that we’ll get a movie to tie up the loose ends someday.
Alphanumeric!
I’m a little teapot…
Prepare to taste the blade of my… butterknife?!
“I’ve always wanted to do that.”
