Thank you all for the show recommendations
Firefly
Honestly? With the benefit of hindsight, I’m actually pleased it wasn’t given the chance to become a Dollhouse.
The movie gave closure, and we left the characters in a good place.
Dollhouse gave us 5 seasons of content in one, and ruined itself in season 2, and many other shows have just run until everyone was sick of them, before getting an anticlimactic ending anyway.
FIREFLY
If you like firefly there’s another show similar that was also cancelled too soon. Darkmatter. I actually prefer it over firefly tbh.
Game of Thrones. Sad we never got to see past season 6…
Serious answer: I just heard The Peripheral got cancelled after Westworld also got cancelled :l
Re Peripheral …. Seems to be a victim of the strike, according to Wikipedia. Last I heard it was renewed for a season 2. But they canceled it anyway.
The Walking Dead.
Should have been cancelled like 9 seasons earlier.
Took me a few seasons to figure out that every season was the same. “I think we’ve found a place to settle down, but there might be a problem…”.
Yeah but for the first few seasons the problems were new and interesting at least.
First season was directed by Frank Darabont who is awesome at making great movies from written works of art. Then AMCunts saw this and fired him after awesome season one and replaced him with Glen Mazzara who never made anything worthy of note. They also doubled the number of episodes for same content and requested that more episodes are shot indoors to make everything earn more money. And it fucking worked.
I stopped watching when they introduced horrible CGI and fake gun effects (no knock back, no shell ejection, no slide movement).
I’d argue the first few seasons - apart from the horrible acting from time to time, and prolonged passages just to stretch time, and filler episodes, and dumb people, and…
Yeah, it was shitty from the beginning.
That and the stupid Hyundai always looking like it just rolled out of the shop.
I was with them up to the end of the second season with the farm.
After that they fell into the cycle of characters having to be excessively stupid to inject drama.
I stopped watching at the point where they pretended Glenn was dead, but he was actually hiding under the bin. Not because it was a cheap trick, but mostly because that was the point where I realised I no longer cared who was alive and dead.
I stopped watching when Glenn finally died. Mainly due to the fact that I found out through social media because I missed the first episode of that season when they revealed who got beat with Negan’s bat, and everyone on social media ruined the reveal.
He was my favorite character, and I know in the comics he dies much earlier than in the show, but I lost interest after that.
The expanse.
Although I would’ve loved to see them complete the entire story I was still pretty satisfied with how they left it (other than the edits they made for Alex’s story).
It didn’t got cancelled to be fair. It was a great show that run much longer than it’s viewership can support, and it was announced way earlier that the story will be wrapped by 6th season.
The Expanse universe is not abandoned either. Telltale Games just launched a new Prequel adventure game a few days ago: https://store.epicgames.com/tr/p/the-expanse-a-telltale-series
