After been desperate to watch the gifted and not finding it anywhere cheap, hurrah, Disney plus has it. Loved it...till I found it was cancelled after season 2 Sad

More that gutted me:-
Firefly
Dollhouse
Dark Angel
Hex

There’s probably more that I will add but these are off the go of my head

The New Normal

I really liked it, no idea why it was cancelled 🤷🏻‍♀️

Carnivale- if it was made a fews later I think it would have got a few more seasons, or at least a conclusion

There was a brilliant show called (I think) Flash Forward and they bloody cancelled it, leaving the audience on a cliffhanger.

Party Animals
Cabin Pressure

Santa clarita diet

Indian Summers. Proper devastated that it was cancelled.

My So Called Life. That was cancelled a long long time ago and I’m still not over it

Seconding, I really enjoyed that.

Flash Forward! Yes definitely that was so annoying.

Also, Jericho. That was really good!!

HappyHappyHippocampus · 17/05/2021 14:21

I second The Santa Clarita Diet. Not least because Timothy Olyphant is just so swoon worthy Blush

@Letshavesometea

Santa clarita diet
Yes!!! Was so gutted they cancelled it.

Also Pushing Daisies- I loved it and wish they'd continued.

FIREFLY

still not over it! Grin

although it does mean that it’s preserved forever as a perfect and infinitely rewatchable little series and never had the chance to degenerate into game-of-thrones-style-disappointment territory.

CrazyCatsAndKittens · 17/05/2021 14:22

I’ve noticed a lot of Netflix shows get renewed so they end on a cliffhanger, but then Netflix changes it’s mind and cancels it.

I must admit I was a bit gutted to hear that The Last Kingdom will end this season. There are still quite a few books to go.

runwithme · 17/05/2021 14:23

Flashforward had so many unanswered questions!
Also Rookie Blue and Southland. There were a few seasons of those but not enough

FatCatThinCat · 17/05/2021 14:23

V

They cancelled both the original and the remake without finishing the story. Very disappointed by it.

ChessieFL · 17/05/2021 14:23

Perception starring Will from Will and Grace and The Mysteries of Laura starring Grace from Will and Grace!

ZombeaArthur · 17/05/2021 14:24

My so-called life.
Freaks and geeks.
Pushing daisies.

At least they tried to wrap it up with a film but it still left me with lots of questions.

I mean, who were the blue hands?

What was the shepherds story?

Why in the program are reavers created by watching other reavers but in the film it’s a chemical?

Santa Clarita Diet!! I couldn't believe it when they cancelled it.

mrsnietzsche · 17/05/2021 14:30

Glow Sad (again on Netflix) - such a pity, they had even started filming a new series when Covid meant they had to call it off, leading to it being cancelled.

RainBow725 · 17/05/2021 14:30

I agree with Southland and also Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Soubriquet · 17/05/2021 14:30

Shannara Chronicles

I really enjoyed that and it for cancelled
