Not sure if it counts as a cliffhanger, but Westworld set itself up for a second season and then just nothing.
Err weren't there 3 seasons of Westworld?
Doesn't look like anything to me
i was told if i enjoyed it, i should stop watching after season one and watch the movie instead.
My Name Is Earl's series finale is now a reddit post
Every cancelled show should be so lucky as to have a writer finish the story, even if it's just the outlines of a script.
Santa Clarita Diet :(
Finding out that Netflix cancelled this was up there with Firefly getting cancelled. This show was so damn good
Careful, you'll upset the Firefly fandom.
The worst part for me is they built up 3 seasons worth of story and lore just to forget it completely. Such a waste.
True. If they had cancelled it after one season, I probably wouldn't have been as annoyed but 3 seasons and then a cliff hanger just why...
Raised by wolves had so much potential. So did stargate universe.
Fuck you for posting censored garbage
I know it's fucking annoying, that's how I found it though
I would just uncensor it first. Emphatically.
Here, like this. I want to do this to every meme.
Sadly I don't have those skills and it doesn't bother me enough to make the effort
I just edited my comment to include it. Maybe I'll just start doing this, constantly, for my own satisfaction.
Do it!
Any love out there for ReBoot? Absolutely revolutionary show and it ended on a cliffhanger.
Reboot was the first one I thought of too. Such a fantastic show that didn’t get a real ending.
"Two by two, hands of blue."
I'm a leaf on the wind.
So 'The Lost Room' had a lot of unrealized potential. It at least managed to tie up and close the main loop.
Maybe it came too soon vs the concepts of anomolus objects become popular later.
Terriers.
It's a great crime drama with comedy mixed in. Has nothing to do with dogs and is just one of those unfortunately names shows.
As a mild spoiler the show actually has a great ending. It certainly sets up for future seasons and I really want to watch those seasons, but given that it was cancelled, it's actually a solid ending.

This is fine, and if you are writing your season finale with no new deal in place for more, this is what you should do. You don’t have to close the door on the characters’ adventures, just leave them in an appropriate place for the previous season’s threads.
You have to “Calvin & Hobbes” the finale.
TV producers and showrunners are too fucking greedy.
They all act as if it's still the year 1995 and they're dropping cliffhangers like crazy as if they're gonna run for 8, 9, 10 seasons - despite knowing full well that most of the shows out there these days are never making it past season 1 or 2.
Compare this to almost every popular book series. Books works on the basis that although it's a series, each individual book holds up as a satisfying experience with a beginning, middle and end. Every book leaves you wanting more, but yet, still happy with what you're read.
The Jack Reacher TV series works wonderfully in this way because - surprise surprise - it's an adaptation of the books. Every season is its own crime, and every season wraps that case up nicely.
More of that please - I want to watch shows which respect me as a viewer, not shows which mess me around.
Flashforward and Stargate Universe both ended on cliffhangers after two seasons within a year of each other. Just as I was healing and willing to give TV a chance again, they canceled Helix. Also on a cliffhanger after two seasons.
Fuck.

Clone High’s first season did this. Two decades later, the show got revived. Good news too, because IMO the new seasons are even better than the original.
If you started the show ages ago but haven’t checked out the new episodes, I highly recommend it.
Didn't it get canceled on another cliff hanger, though?
Incorporated and Alphas. I'm still really annoyed at Netflix for cancelling Altered Carbon and Shadow and Bone as well. They don't deserve my money if all they do is back out of finishing stories.
Can you imagine if they made a second season of altered carbon? After how good the one season was I’m sure it would have been great
I was pretty upset when Kaos got cancelled. I didn't even think I'd like it, but absolutely loved it. I guess the creator has three seasons in mind, a short series, and they cancelled it after one.
Mad disappointed. It still plays okay as a first season, but my god I want to know what happened next
The Dark Crystal series. ;_;
I'm still bitter about Reaper getting cancelled
If you are a television show and end a season, any season, on a cliffhanger, fuck you, I'm not watching, I will not endorse anymore you using tired cheap tricks as a crutch for a lack of creativity, talent and regard for your audience.
The O frickin A.
Not a TV show, but there was a book my 6th grade teacher read (i forgor the name) where some unknown nuclear disaster happened, and a very small village in a valley survived due to the geography. Pretty much everyone dies trying to explore outside the valley to find answers, leaving only the main character left.
At some point a stranger in a radiation suit wanders in, finds the untouched valley, and immediately drinks from a radiation contaminated river and gets sick. Some stuff happens between the two of them, but in the end the main character takes the radiation suit and wanders out into the wasteland. As far as I know, there's no sequel despite heavily emplying the story isn't over
The moment a show ends in a cliffhanger, it gets removed from the fave show list.
Teenage Bounty Hunters!
I have to assume you have never loved a person like I did.
