As an Argentinian, seeing Dark Angel as the number one pick is kind of weird. A problem the show had and wasn't mentioned on the video was that it was too similar to Cybersix, it even was accused of plagiarism.

You should check out "Hap and Leonard" it was one of the best TV shows made and had one of the best TV chemistry in the lead actors.

Netflix almost cancelled Sandman despite it being them admitting that it was one of their most watched shows of the year because they expected it to do ST and Bridgerton numbers.

[@MrJagermeister]

And no one wants to watch a show that will end on a cliffhanger and get cancelled so we wait to see if it gets renewed, making it more likely they cancel it when it isn’t in the global top #10 long enough. Also with streaming, the whole point is to watch when you want, not when it releases. They need to let shows grow an audience. The Office, Parks and Rec, Community, and so many of their big hits now took a while to build up a following.

Bryan Fuller also created Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls and produced Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, all of which were canceled. He has joked about what bad luck he has. Apparently NBC contributed to Hannibal’s demise as well. They wanted him to cast a American actor as Hannibal, and when he chose Mad Mikkelson they got mad and stopped supporting it. So it’s a miracle the show lasted three seasons really.

What I absolutely loved about 1899 was the use of different languages. Because when you grow up in Europe ( or me, as the creators, a fellow german) you are used to having an assortment of languages around you. It makes life so much richer.

[@Amelia-vk4jt]

Yes I loved it too I'm mixed and grew up in Belgium so I speak quite a few languages like a lot of Europeans so this was such a treat to watch a show that makes you feel so surrounded by languages and makes me feel how I grew up plus knowing it came from the same makers as dark you knew it would be great shame we never got to see just how much 😭

[@elinasopanen6766]

I'm from Finland and speak multiple European languages so it was really cool to use all those languages while watching the show! I also love that the crew was made up of people from all around the World, who all spoke different languages. Such an authentic project.

[@camelopardalis84]

@@elinasopanen6766 Speaking a lot of languages is really not that big a deal regarding how many people do it, at the very least in absolute terms. I only speak two (German natively and English well enough to understand everything and be able to say almost everything) and have good-ish skills in a third (French). Other languages like Spanish, Italian and Dutch I understand to a very minor degree. But I like hearing those three (and the alluded to others) a lot and am always curious to see how well I understand what's said or written in them. A film or much rather a t.v. series using a variety of langauges sounds very appealing to me for these reasons and there must be so many other people with languages skills comparable to mine who feel the same way. Plus there are all the people who just happen to be pretty much perfectly quintilingual who could easily follow almost everything that's being said and for whom all these langues being used would make a story just better - more interesting, more authentic, or funnier because of the added opportunity for jokes or other humourous things.

[@elinasopanen6766]

@@camelopardalis84 Yeah that's cool. I was only pointing out the languages thing because (almost all) shows that incorporate characters from different countries are just lazy, and still make foreign characters speak English (like I love Sense8 but why do they use a loophole so all the characters speak English in their home countries or with their families?). But in 1899, they fully embraced the mess of having so many languages and the language barriers and difficulties. The characters didn't just switch from languages, there were so many that never spoke any English! There were eight main languages, and I counted at least a line or two for eight more. I have never seen anything like it at least.

I still remember when Hannibal was cancelled and Bryan Fuller, the series creator, went on social media trying his hardest to get the show picked up by another network.

The cancellation of 1899 is the reason I don't watch TV anymore. It inspired me so much as a storyteller, like I cannot stress the impact this show had on me. ... and then it was cancelled. It was basicly sent to its death, no promotion, released between Wednesday and the World Cup. The moment the first 28 days were over, it was cancelled. It was what broke me; I just stopped watching anything that wasn't a limited series or a concluded story, I stopped caring about what these streaming companies put up, when they only care about the next pop culture hit and not about the art of storytelling.

He’s so dorky yet likable and Wyatt Oleff stole the show. The ensemble cast is really strong as well. This show is so accurate to the teenage experience while still being quirky and a little offputting. I loved Syd and Stan’s friendship so much, because we need more healthy male/female friendships in media. And then to leave it on that cliffhanger? Absolutely insane. I need closure.

Maybe it's for the best for this one. Season one covered the source material fully, except that the original ending took a depressing turn and Sidney ended her life out of guilt in the novel.

Our Flag is the one that hurt the most for me. I love that show so much. What really stinks is that the creator only wanted it to be three seasons, but it got canceled after season 2. Why not just let them have season 3? Or even a film to wrap up the story they'd already written? Frustrating. Max is on a spree of cancelling shows and also sometimes deleting them from existence. There was a MASSIVE fan-led campaign to get a renewal for Our Flag (they even bought a billboard in Times Square NYC) or to get other networks to pick it up for the final season, but it didn't happen. Makes me wonder if Max is setting the cost of rights to shows at an astronomical price or something... which means no Max shows can get a second life there or anywhere else. IDK

[@Somethingwicked91]

Me too, just right now. I literally stopped the video to go check. Because the forecast was kinda positive, they were talking about wrapping things up in season 3, all the ideas and how the new season would do a thing will they/won't they shows don't do that often - show the couple's life after they get together. And I got so excited... At least they didn't end the second season on any major cliffhanger (probably sensing they would push their luck), but with somewhat of a resolution for everyone.

I was and still am so disappointed it was canceled and with so much to be developed and so many questions to be answered, it is definitely a show that deserves a second chance.

Another show that was infamously canceled was Anne With An E. From stunning cinematography to powerful performances, based on the Anne of Green Gables books, Anne With an E is a story about a young orphan girl named Anne navigating through life and growing up. It handles numerous social issues such as gender inequality, racism, and bullying in the 1890s. I will never forgive them for canceling this show especially for the stupid reason of Netflix ending their partnership with the other studio that helped make it, CBC.

[@waltersgonnagoon]

I'm still angry with netflix for doing that - Anne with an E was one of the rare shows that ended up being near-perfect despite being so different from the books. The way it dealt with a diversity of topics while still remaining engaging was one of my favourite things about the show. The acting, the cinematography to the costume design - everything was beautifully done. It was and still is, in my heart, a tragic ending to one of the best shows I've seen.

[@OverAnalyst]

Sounds like it was a good update. I'd skipped it because already saw the 1990s miniseries (Anne of Green Gables & of Avonlea). They were so beautifully done. They didn't deal with things like racism though. Will give this new one a chance (braced for a too-early ending 😕). Thanks for the rec.

A cancelled show I really missed was Reaper. It was in the early 2000's and got cancelled because of conflicts with airing schedules against America's Got Talent. The story followed Sam, a 21 year old who wasted a lot of his potential in school and now works full-time at a large hardware store (that he hates) along with his friends. On his 21st birthday, strange things start happening around him. That's when his parents sit him down and tell him that, before he was even conceived, they sold his soul to the devil because his father was severely ill. Instead of taking him straight to hell, the devil (played by Ray Wise who was perfect for this role) decides it's better if he keeps him alive and has him work as a part-time reaper of sorts. But, instead of claiming souls, he is tasked with capturing/returning souls that have managed to escape from hell. It was a good comedy show that ended on a major cliffhanger with countless unanswered questions due to its sudden cancellation midway through its second season.

This was at a very rough time in my life mentally, and she has helped me get through a lot of things I've need to work on for a while. I really hope this show comes back, not just because I think it's good and should have that cliffhanger resolved, but because with our circumstances surrounding it, it has a very special connection to my girlfriend and I.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency being cancelled makes me so sad, the first season of that show is nearly perfect and I will never forgive netflix for cancelling it after season 2.

[@Mrdavis0613]

I seriously thought I was the only person who watched Impulse. That show was beyond amazing

[@NicoFitz]

Ikr!! I had to scroll so far to find a comment in here about it (yours is the only one I've seen!) which leads me to believe not many people watched it 😢

[@misstricksandtipps]

I am so sad about Shadow and Bones being cancelled, not because of the main plot, but because of the crows spin off.

[@daryatrafimava]

same!!!

[@Sylarah15]

I was so disappointed that Netflix choose to not just do a Six of Crows adaptation from the start. I thought it was pretty universally agreed that the Six of Crows duology was by far the better story AND the fan favorite, so prioritizing Shadow and Bone over it was always a weird choice to me. Like, they must have know everyone wanted the Crows, hence them being shoehorned into Alina's story in the Netflix show?

​@@Sylarah15in hindsight, it was such an obvious decision it actually hurts.

[@zaram1492]

There shouldn’t have been a shadow and bones series… it should have been a six of crows right from the start.. what a waste because the cast was brilliant

[@khaelthas293]

I love the crows.😭

Timeless being cancelled still hurts me. Sure we got a movie wrap up but the movie just convinced me that the next three seasons they had planned would have been epic

[@DisabledDoll]

I like the way it leaves the opening for another series down the line

[@JuLiane]

Timeless being cancelled still makes me angry. I mean, at least they got the last two episodes to finish it, but there's not enough Flynn in it for me and I was not happy about how they ended his arc. Also, Firefly ended way too soon and I don't like the movie that much either 😢 And Our Flag Means Death.... still not over it.

[@ButIamAStick]

Thats because Timeless got accused of plagiarism by the producers of the hit spanish tv series: "Ministerio del Tiempo" (Ministry of Time) that was proven that the Network was in talks to adapted in the USA but then cancelled and made Timeless with an almost identical synopsis. They arrived at an extra official settlement and i think Sony didn't want to be in more trouble so they cancelled.

Dark Angel, Reboot, Altered Carbon, Dollhouse, Tru Calling, Harsh Realm, to name a few.

[@emilyt182]

I 1000% agree, Dark Angel truly was ahead of its time! I was a kid when it came out and I mostly remembered Jessica Alba and the "dog looking guy" lol. I watched it again as an adult and I'm truly bummed it was cancelled. The closing song is still stuck in my head after all these years!

[@TheOxydium]

Dirk Gently's Detective Agency is the cancellation that broke my heart. Only got 2 seasons, it was just a unique gem.

[@marianr.2155]

It was fucking great. Sadly, the cancellation had more to do with its creator comitting s*xual assault than with netflix’s dumb choices. To this day I think the best way I’ve ever seen a character being introduced is Bart and Kens’ first scene. Nothing can top that.

[@ceg8677]

Thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly S1! S2 was also good, and has a line that has since been in high rotation in my husband's and my vocabulary ("but you said that, maybe?" Sgt Friedkin, ep1) but I didn't think it was as strong.

[@samanthasea2088]

​@@marianr.2155it's so sad we never got to see Bart and Ken's relationship go full nuclear with her staying at Blackwing. Also missed the opportunity to expand Bart's range after the season finale where she sorta lost all hope to be a better person.

Two shows that I’ve always felt deserved a second chance are Prodigal Son and The Wilds. - Prodigal Son is about a forensic psychologist named Malcolm who advises the NYC serial killer unit (idk the official name lol) to catch the city’s most dangerous killers. But his own father is a notorious serial killer who has been locked away in an asylum for years and Malcolm thinks he may have witnessed one of his murders as a child when it comes up in a new case. So now he has to start a relationship with his dad again in order to help the police. Malcolm also fears he is like his dad and chose his profession to try and undo what his dad did. His family is also old money and are heavily involved in the stories. It was such a good show with an amazing premise and Michael Sheen played the serial killer father so well. The show was really good at exploring their dynamic and ended on a cliffhanger when it got canceled. - The Wilds was about this group of teen girls who get stranded on a tropical island when their plane crashes. They each have recent traumas and think that they were going on a retreat to deal with those traumas but this “retreat” was a cover and the plane crash is a controlled experiment. Minor spoiler, the girls find out that the same experiment is being done to a group of boys and that’s what season 2 is about. Sadly due to budget cuts because Amazon put all their money into that lord of the rings show, season 2 had less episodes to work with and wasn’t received as well, however people still wanted a season 3 because season 2 ended on SUCH A CLIFFHANGER that it’s impossible to have any peace with the ending of the show.

[@sassafrasfruit]

I was sooo obsessed with Prodigal Son! The case of the week format occasionally slowed the show down for me, but the ending of the first season was amazing, and had so much potential! I wish we had a 3rd season, because Ainsley's arc was so fascinating to me and season 2 set up so many questions about just how messed up she actually is. The whole family dynamic was so fun to watch, the cast was great. Such a shame barely anyone watched it, tbh I think it was overlooked in the sea of many many many other police procedurals.

[@noobmasterruben5167]

Infinity Train, The OA, 1899, Santa Clarita Diet, Glitch Techs and The Owl house deserved more seasons

[@nicemuse1956]

Did Santa Clarita diet not get a proper ending?
