Beat me to it, Malice. And not even a full season.

I liked Rowan Atkinson as Maigret but they only did 2. Could have been long running

North Square
Party Animals

I came on to say Flash Forward!

I remember Journeyman with Kevin McKidd (Owen from Grey's Anatomy). He was a reporter who would travel through time involuntarily. At one point whatever he had done in the past meant that he ended up with a different child in the present so he had to undo it. It ended after one series abs I cant remember if that was resolved or not!

PrivateSpidey · 21/12/2020 19:38

I really enjoyed The Good Cop on Netflix, with Tony Danza and Josh Groban. It had a good premise and the series ended on a bit of a cliff hanger, it's a shame they didn't make any more.

Yes to My So-called Life!!

ExplodingCarrots · 21/12/2020 19:40

Firefly and invasion. Invasion finished on a cliffhanger too Sad.

grauduroi · 21/12/2020 19:42

Firefly as well, glad they made the tv movie to tie it up.

OllietheOwl · 21/12/2020 19:42

There was a series called Vinyl on Netflix which I loved. I think Mick Jagger produced it. Never got a second series which I was really surprised by!

pinkbalconyrailing · 21/12/2020 19:44

def flash forward. I still want to know what was the girl's vision!

Chewbecca · 21/12/2020 19:45

Well, it wasn’t amazing, it was a bit rubbish but DH and I still wish the second series of Outcasts was made.

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 21/12/2020 19:47

The Dallas re boot was brilliant, gutted that it got cancelled. 666 Park Avenue only ran for one series, such a shame.

Whalewithnosnail · 21/12/2020 19:47

Studio 60 on the sunset strip- I wish there had been a second season.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 21/12/2020 19:50

I can’t remember what it was called, probably Ambassadors, but there was a great sitcom with David Mitchell as a jaded British ambassador. Iirc Robert Webb was a Julian Assange figure holed up in his embassy. Anyway it was funny and could have done with more seasons.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 21/12/2020 19:53

Limitless wasn't bad, even has Bradley Cooper in as his character from the film version.

There was also a series were there was a group of people who thought they had been in on a spaceship for 30 years but it was in a bunker underground. Didn't even end properly.

smeerf · 21/12/2020 19:56

Came here to say Studio 60 and see I've been beaten to it! We watch the Christmas episode every year and our second son is named after Cal.

LyndaLaHughes · 21/12/2020 19:57

Alcatraz with Sam Neill. It was brilliant.
