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

@Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady

Banished. It was a BBC drama about the Australian penal colony. It was bloody brilliant, fantastic actors and ended on a cliffhanger...and then they cancelled series 2! It was years ago and I'm still not over it. I've reached the first season 3 times 😅
Oh my days yes! This was so good and the cast was brilliant and then it was just done!

What was the show with Ioan Gruffyd where he was immortal and every time he got killed he was "reborn" in water?

CathyorClaire · 17/05/2021 20:29

The Path on Amazon Prime.

Forever. It was mentioned upthread

Gruffudd, even. It was called Forever.

@Faultymain5.

Thanks, Cross post. I didn't recognise the title till I looked him up on IMDB.

RusholmeRuffian · 17/05/2021 20:34

Deadwood

exLtEveDallas · 17/05/2021 20:36

Oh just thought of another one - Agent Carter. Bloody hell I was bereft.

NowWeAreSuckingDieselFella · 17/05/2021 20:42

Hart of Dixie
Smash (weirdly I was thinking about it last night!)

stealingbeauty · 17/05/2021 20:42

I also liked a Netflix show called Gypsy which was cancelled after only one season. I don’t think it’s been mentioned in this thread. I think I was about the only person to enjoy it 😄

TheWitchwithNoName · 17/05/2021 20:43

Outcasts
Ascension
The passage

And I'll add Glow but I hadn't realised til this thread 😭😭😭

Also upset they didn’t renew The passage but please read the books. They are so good and to be honest I don’t think the TV series would have ever lived up to them Smile

ThirtyCharacterUsernamesOnly30 · 17/05/2021 20:50

American Gothic
The Ghost Whisperer
Blood Ties
Sunset Beach

SappysCurry · 17/05/2021 20:51

Southland

Yes I loved that show. I got really excited about seeing Sully from Dr Quinn as the dad.
Faultymain5 · 17/05/2021 21:08

It was at this point she realised she watched way too much TV.

sparklesandmoresparkles · 17/05/2021 21:11

So many on here already

Firefly (of course!)
Rosewood
Flashforward
Alcatraz
Charmed (that had run it’s course. Was still gutted at the end though!)
Castle
Rosewood
Rizzoli and Isles
Stumptown
And guilty pleasures Vampire Diaries and The Originals

fruitbrewhaha · 17/05/2021 21:13

Last man on Earth.

It was so funny, and the last show introduced a new story line that I will never know what was going to happen.

eandz13 · 17/05/2021 21:19

Santa Clarita Diet and Damnation! I need to know more!

33goingon64 · 17/05/2021 21:20

Giri/Haji. Kelly MacDonald, Will Sharpe and two really dishy Japanese actors. Just the right blend of thriller, humour, gentle humanity... It was brilliant, but no second series.

SaltedCaramelIcedLatte · 17/05/2021 21:22

@stealingbeauty

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

Another one, the latest version of the tomorrow people, that did need more seasons
