Amazing TV shows cancelled after one season

[mayaknew]

What TV shows have you absolutely loved that have been cancelled after one season. Loads for me but 3 that stand out are

Ringer
Flashforward
Away (just heard this has been cancelled which has prompted this thread)

Pan Am
The Halcyon

Yes to studio 60, my so called life and firefly.

Might have to watch them again.

The good guys
Trophy wife
Tera nova

High Fidelity, the series. Produced by Zoe Kravitz. I loved it!

Brief Encounters on ITV. Great cast

Flesh and bone, I think, a series a bout a ballet school on Netflix

Yes I loved that show! Was gutted it was a limited series

American Gothic - 90s programme with Gary Cole and Sarah Paulson, SO good!

If I had a boy I was so going to call him Caleb!

The Passage was great. It was cancelled too soon.. same for Flashforward

Thank you for that @SuddenArborealStop that was an interesting read. It is a shame they never got to tell the whole story but I guess Kevin McKidd would not have joined Grey's if they had so it worked out well for him in the end!

Same - and Merlyn for a girl!

I agree with Forever with Ioan Gruffudd. I don't get into many TV programmes but loved this.

The Living and The Dead! BBC ghost/paranormal drama set in Victorian era. There was much demand for a second series, lost hope that the BBC are going to make anymore now

It's on Amazon prime.

I keep remembering that and wondering what it was.

Can't be arsed to read through the whole thread to see if this has already been mentioned but... Messiah on Netflix.
It was so good, I was gutted to hear they weren't going to carry on to a second series.

The Lost Room and Reaper

New Blood, written by Anrthony Horowitz, a pair of asian and polish young detectives, loved it, and it just disappeared...

The one I always think of on threads like this is Ultraviolet, the C4 series with Idris Elba and Jack Davenport. (not to be confused with the Kate Beckinsdale film which is completely unrelated).

22 years on and I am still miffed it never got a second series!

Reaper ran for two seasons but was very much missed in our household. We never got an ending. 😞

I was really disappointed there wasn't a second series of Eternal Law, the series about angels working as lawyers in York starring Samuel West.

Kidnapped.

It was really good, we were gutted when we realised there wouldn't be a second series. I think it and Studio 60 had the same problem at the same time, they were on the cusp between mainstream TV and streaming services and fell between the cracks.

Also enjoyed these.

Boomers, it was fantastic

Wonderfalls! Really odd premise but super enjoyable. Would especially recommend if you liked Pushing Daisies. I think the whole series is on YouTube.

The last tycoon, amazon

I really got into Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector. Admittedly it wasn’t Oscar winning acting but the plot was enjoyable and so much better than some things which have 3 or more series.

So disappointing.

Flashforward was dire. However long of people looking miserable and being alcoholic or miserable about somebody being alcoholic and the last ten minutes of every episode was somebody saying 'Don't you realise that x time ago, y happened and it was really, really bad?' (in slightly more words than that) and then everybody looking miserable again.
