The answer is always firefly

Firefly

Raised by Wolves

Better Off Ted

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.

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.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I would have loved to see how they planned to resolve that cliffhanger.

Santa Clarita Diet and Carnivale. HBO axed Carnivale, Deadwood and Rome back to back, and I still hold a grudge.

Edit: Enterprise and Lower Decks also still sting. Lower Decks is ao fucking brilliant and I hate that no one watches it!

Mind hunter, surprised i didn't see it mentioned

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!

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.

A lot of good answers already. I'll add Santa Clarita Diet. It's a nice little show.

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.

I'm still not over Firefly. Or the Orville.

Recently? Probably Kaos

I'll never forgive Amazon for cancelling The Tick.

Ash vs Evil Dead and Chucky

Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles

Really, Westworld, but no one had mentioned TSCC yet.

I was quite upset by The Peripheral recently. And although it didn't release to much fanfare, Constellation.

Travelers

Or

Stargate Atlantis

Firefly

The Glades

Venture Brothers

• Firefly
• Sense8
• Somebody Somewhere

EDIT:

• On Becoming a God in Central Florida
• Kaos

Glow

Better off Ted.

Pushing Daisies.

Futurama

Arrested Development.

The Expanse.

Final space

Lots of really good ones here. I’ll add Flashforward.

Better off ted.

Show was brilliant

Westworld..

Recently? The Peripheral, and Kaos.

V (2009)

Deadwood. It was my favorite show ever. They made a movie a couple years ago to wrap things up but it's not the same

Kaos. That season 1 had me and my partner fucking hooked and they pulled the plug so fast it was hard to even finish it.

Teen Titans ended with a cliffhanger and then Cartoon Network put out Teen Titans Go! just to add insult to injury. Certainly the pettiest thing I've been angry about for nearly 20 years.

The OA

Scavengers Reign and Raised by Wolves

Millennium. X-Files spinoff with the venerable Lance Hendrickson.

2 seasons, although they managed to wrap it up at the end pretty well considering.

One of the most visceral, amazing shows ever made.

Ugly Americans.

Patriot

Better off ted.
Avenue 5.
Alien Nation.
My Name is Earl.

The recent ones that come to mind are 1899, Scavenger’s Reign, and Infinity Train. All with good premises and cancelled prematurely.
