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.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It seemed like a self contained single season to me, not sure what more would have entailed. Could still be interesting though, I suppose

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

the game of thrones ending was actually written by the author, he gave them the biggest moments that would happen

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] wosc@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago

Sym-Bionic Titan!

[–] BackwardsUntoDawn@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

Scavengers Reign 100%

other notable mentions are Pantheon and Sense8

[–] svtdragon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Cursed.

Shadow & Bone (but what I really want is the six of crows spinoff).

WoT.

Dead Boy Detectives.

[–] dontbelasagne@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

I haven't seen this one mentioned yet, Daybreak.

Teen drama series about teens trying to survive in a zomble apocaylse, it was well written but what really makes me want a season 2 is the cliffhanger that shifts the entire show on it's head.

Throughout the series, Josh (the main character) is trying to get a girl called Sam, in the finale Sam rejects her because she notices he wasn't really in love with her. Josh was just trying to play a hero getting a damsel in distress, it was a amazing breakdown of toxic masculinity that makes so much sense if you rewatch the series with the twist in mind. Sam then becomes the leader, the position that Josh has been working for the whole series and that's the cliffhanger. I remeber people getting mad because those were the exact types of people Josh was. A season 2 could have gone even deeper into the toxic masculinity angle and that would have been awesome.

I'm here to see if anyone else said this. 100% agree!

I need to know if the male affection and hand sniffing continued to escalate!

[–] mlk6450@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

House of Cards

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Bookie. Possibly my favorite show ever.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 3 points 17 hours ago

Really like earth 2. This point it would have to be a reboot. I swear there was a British version that was somewhat decent that was also cancelled but I cant remember its name.

Space: Above And Beyond

Babylon 5: Crusade

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 16 hours ago

Dark Matter (the 2015 one, not the new one which is totally different but also sci fi and has the same name for some reason)

[–] trungulox@lemm.ee 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Raised by wolves. Like, more than anything. I want to know what happens so badly.

It was such a unique, utterly batshit crazy show that just really started going off the rails in the best possible way at the end of season 2. There was something so hauntingly bleak about it all that I fell head over heels in love with and its cancellation hurts to this day.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 17 hours ago

Stopped at first season after I heard it was cancelled. Really wanted to know what's the point of this honey pot planet and that wierd snake thing. Really like the concept of the show

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Loudermilk.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 points 15 hours ago

The Patriot on prime is one of the greatest tv shows I've ever seen, worth watching even though it was cancelled after 2 seasons. Barely anyone has watched it but it doesn't have a bad episode

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Constantine series. Damn is it good

[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Firefly. Specifically, Shepherd Book's backstory.

GLOW!
Covid really put the smackdown on that one

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Didn't "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" get canceled?

I desperately want it back.
