Currently rewatching Mindhunter. Absolutely brilliant show and I could watch it again and again
I can't believe it's been cancelled and we won't see a series 3 ☹️ apparently it costs too much to make, although I really can't see it costs that much especially with shows like stranger things which must cost millions!

What other series are you gutted have been cancelled?

Neighbours was my guilty pleasure, I’m gutted it’s gone. Been watching it for over 30 years.

The OG Charmed
Supernatural (looking forward to the spin off in oct)
Grimm
Shadow hunters
Was daredevil but he is coming back (yeaaaaa).
And most shows netflix puts on and cancels after 1 or 2 seasons without a conclusion.

I love The Last Post, was so sad not to have a 2nd series.

The Following

Great Night Out (got green-lighted for S2 and then cancelled).

Rescue Me - on Sunday evenings with Sally Phillips. I loved it!

I’m still sore that the BBC chose not to give us another series of ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’ after the follow-up a few years ago. There was still so much more story to tell. But they went with the Porridge remake because it’s cheaper, apparently.

Bit obscure but I really think they should've made more seasons of The Murder Game, a reality show back from the early 00s where the contestants had to solve a fictional homicide case for a cash prize. Absolutely gripping, really scary and hilarious at times - can't believe they didn't make more of it. You can at least find a shit VHS copy of all the episodes on YouTube.

I loved this if it’s the BBC show you refer to! I enjoyed the bit at the end in the creepy dark place and it’s the first thing I think of when I see a similar place now. Off to look on YouTube…

I agree with Mindhunter. Such a great show, I really don't understand why it's been cancelled Confused

PuppyMonkey · 19/08/2022 22:17

I noticed on Threads I’m on recently, a thread I started three years ago about my lust for Tench from Mindhunter got randomly resurrected and it’s really made me want to watch it again.Grin

My lusting aside, there was so much more to explore with Mindhunters, it had only really just got going. All those real life cases.

Tench though, sigh…

GrouchyKiwi · 19/08/2022 22:19

The book Mindhunter, by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, is fantastic. It's what (who!) the show is based on.

TerryWoganFanGirl · 19/08/2022 23:03

The Borgias
Alcatraz
House of Elliott
The Upstairs Downstairs remake with Keeley Hawes
And Desperate Housewives because no matter how bonkers it got I just still loved it

grannyjacob · 19/08/2022 23:27

Rome, Oz (truly weak ending to the last episode), Deadwood, Whitechapel, Spooks.

LyndaLaHughes · 19/08/2022 23:34

I'm glad it's not just me saying "Alcatraz". Was gutted it was cancelled as I thought it was brilliant.

I'd love to see an updated version of My So Called Life. See how it all worked out for them. I have never seen a man so beautiful as Jared Leto at that point in his / my life.

<Swoon>

God yes, beautiful is the only word for Jordan Catelano..... Glad to see Im not the only My So-Called Life fan still holding a grudge over its cancellation!
I listen to that Juliana Hatfield song from the Angels episode occasionally, can still remember the chills of the 'how did you die?' moment

Mind hunter
dead like me
The Event

Rhubarb01 · 20/08/2022 08:46

@twilightcafe thanks for the link. That was an interesting watch. I can see what they were trying to convey, but they were probably right not to broadcast it. My curiosity has now been satisfied 🙂

Jaguarxxx · 20/08/2022 08:52

I agree about Mindhunter. There are so many directions they could have taken the show in.
Absolutely distraught there'll be no more Motherland as well.

Jaguarxxx · 20/08/2022 08:55

@PuppyMonkey it was me! I resurrected it after only just discovering the series and having a good binge! I was looking for my tribe Blush

I’m glad you found us! GrinThank you for reminding me about it, I reckon someone, somewhere will see the light and decide to do a brand new season…

I'm still getting over Dallas and Dynasty being cancelled

There was a similar ‘what would you do’ kind of show called ‘the control room’ that there was a few episodes of and it was fantastic. I think that was BBC.

it was dragons den kind of contestants in a cobra type set up given a scenario to manage. They had an infectious disease, rouge airplane not communicating and riots made up of young people angry at the unfair distribution of government funds to the elderly. It was really good, I think there are still a couple of episodes knocking around YouTube.

Totally agree about Mindhunter. An amazing series.

also agree about Spooks - yes, a bit samey but so watchable and thought characters were great. Will always love Ros - Hermione Norris character. Probably one of best female characters created on UK Tv.

Moonshine5 · 20/08/2022 12:51

Mindhunter
Blackish
Derry Girls
Elementary
Superstore (prefer Amy free episodes)

Giggorata · 20/08/2022 12:52

Firefly
Angel
Stargate Universe
Hannibal
The Irregulars

Does anyone remember Spooks code 9 where they were all new recruits on BBC3?

completely ruined it for DP when I appropriated S Club 7’s theme song to sing ‘spooks club’ whenever it was on Grin
