      they cancelled blood of zeus, because they dint want to continue the series, it was meant to go on for another 3 seasons. also heard netflix made any showrunners from cancelled shows legally unable to go to another network to continue the series.

      ROP was pretty bad, shouldve been cancelled, also it costed billions for 2 season. i believe it sucked up all the budget that couldve gone to the other prime shows, like invincible, WOT,etc.

    The Santa Clarita Diet

    It was stupid fun and a different take on the zombie genre with black humor (making death or violence humorous…not the racist one) and only had about one more season to wrap things up

    Fuck you Netflix

    Also …can I add Dark Angel?

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I’m not a big Terminator-head, only seen half of the movies, but that was the version of Terminator I really got into.

    TSCC ENDING SPOILERS, STAY OUT

    The decision to end the show by having John jump into the post-apocalyptic future was wild, from a production standpoint. You have this show that’s in permanent danger of being cancelled and you go “What if we set up our ending so the next season is guaranteed to blow the budget because we can’t just film in present-day California any more?” It was a great hook, but I wonder whether they could have gotten a third season if they’d presented a smaller target.

      I loved this show! But the abrupt “ending” just left so many plot points unanswered that I can’t rewatch it at all, because I get disappointed. The acting was quite impressive, especially Lena Hedley (Sarah Connor), who went on to play Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones

        A lot of great performances, absolutely. And the long-form presentation is really what gave Summer Glau room to do the kind of “robot becomes human” work that is not really possible in the movies.

        I agree that the ending is kind of too specific to be satisfying. I don’t mind ambiguous or open endings that leave you wondering (maybe forever) what will come next, but the ending we got told us too much and not enough at the same time.

        TSCC ENDING SPOILERS, STAY OUT

        I feel like cutting the episode slightly early would have worked better if they wanted to craft a “maybe we’ll get a season 3, maybe this is the end” situation. If the cliffhanger was “Will John stay in the present or jump into the future?” and the show got cancelled there, there’s nothing promised about where this story is headed and the possibilities for what adventures come next are basically endless. Instead, the show told us exactly what direction the story was going in and then … didn’t do it. That’s worse to me.

    Much less a cancellation and more of a “setup and abandoned”.

    Season 1 of Picard setup a new and interesting crew for a spin off series. Never happened.

    Season 3 of Picard did so again, but it also looks like nothing will come of it.

      Picard, what a shit show. 3 completely disconnected seasons with 3 completely separate agendas. It’s the only show I can say “just watch season 3, you’ll be fine”.

        Yep. I still don’t understand how they thought it’d be a good idea to remake Battlestar Galactica 1984 in season 2.

      picard was just a bad series overall, not as bad as STD, but was pretty bad. and snw tries to rectify that, but it still not a good show.

    The Patriot on prime it’s the best show nobody’s watched. Black Summer on netflix was a sensational zombie show they really shouldn’t have cancelled

      Just Patriot, The Patriot is that Mel Gibson movie people think I’m talking about when I tell them they need to watch Patriot immediately.

      Perpetual Grace LTD was pretty good too, probably saw less views because it was exclusive to another premium channel no one cared enough to pay for.

    Wheel of Time. Incredible story that I’ve read and reread since I was a child, combined with a stellar cast and some minor changes to have better LGBTQ rep. It got really good and then they axed it.

      I watched it well after it stopped airing and went in completely blind. I’m glad I did because I never would have watched it had I known it was dropped.

      My disappointment that it was cancelled and without even the typical half-assed conclusion to the story is immeasurable, but it left me with a lot more sympathy and understanding towards fans of other series that met similar fates like Firefly.

    Raised By Wolves

    It was a polarizing show, but my sci-fi heart loved it. Also the intro music was hauntingly beautiful.
