Yeah me too… but knowing how Josh Whedon operates, fuck Josh Whedon
I still rewatch the series and movie every few years and get pissed off at the end all over again.

Santa Clarita Diet. I just liked the characters, the actors have some real strong performances, and the plot was going down some interesting paths with the society of zombie hunters.
My name is Earl. One more season and it could have been perfect.
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

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?
Oh my god yes Dark Angel, still kills me. And also SCD, great show, and the combo of Olyphant and Barrymore? Be still my beating bisexual heart!
The forever answer to this is Firefly.
But as for others: Babylon 5, Threshold, Black Books.
I don't think Black Books was cancelled as such, I just think Dylan Moran was done.
Are we not counting cancellations by the writers?

Westworld. It was the final sason, had already been renewed, was already in pre-production, and they paid all the actors. But new management trashed it for a tax writeoff
Cowboy Bebop, the live action one.
I know that a lot of teh fans of the original anime series hated it, but I never liked that and really enjoyed the live action one.
Also Star Trek: Prodigy.
Carnivàle was the first time I was hurt by a cancellation. It is still the hurtest hurt.
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".

Better Off Ted was SO GOOD 😭
Edit: Almost forgot about Day 5. It was a Rooster Teeth webseries and some of that showed in the script and acting, tbh. But holy shit it was such a cool premise. Big mad that I'll probably never find out wtf happens to that world.
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.
Ahhhh thanks didn't realise

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 really wish we could enact a law or something that said "if you want to take on an established series, you have to finish it"
Maybe we could start with "if you want to take on an established series, you have to use the actual story, not your fanfic of it"
Almost Human
Karl Urban and Michael Ealy made a great pair.
Farscape
One more season instead if the 2 part TV movie we got trying to hastily wrap it all up.

Constantine.
the matt ryan one? yea they cancelled that too fast.
Marianne, and The OA.
Raised By Wolves
It was a polarizing show, but my sci-fi heart loved it. Also the intro music was hauntingly beautiful.
I went over the wikipedia entry, and that show is just as weird and opaque as I remember it.
We never really got any answers to a lot of questions in the show. I actually loved how weird it was.

Stargate Atlantis
Stargate Universe.
SEASON 1 did the series in, too much boring drama, not enough aliens or tech episodes. i heard season 3 was more juicy if they had continued, more background on the planet builders.
also SGA was going to the same route if it had 6 seasons.
Veronica Mars should've had a solid 7 seasons in a row
I feel like I’m beating a dead horse about this now, but Scavenger’s Reign and Infinity Train.
Inside Job
