Before it is even wrapped up, do you waste your time with it?
Sometimes it’s really frustrating when you start watching a show only to find it got cancelled after a season or two.
Some are definitely worth a watch though. |

More seasons that had a known plan of how many seasons beforehand (unless they swan dive) would be amazing. Just one series of one well planned is way better than a series that gets dragged out to oblivion.

I really enjoyed Alcatraz, about prisoners from the past who somehow committed crimes in the present day.
Turned out Alcatraz had a time machine thingy which is how it happened, which was revealed in the last episode.
It ended on loads of cliffhangers and cancelled after 20 odd episodes.
I was fuming  |

Sometimes, depending on if the makers managed to wrap matters up somewhat.
An example being Knightfall which was superb - until it was cancelled- but the makers did at least manage to cobble together a hurried ending (but an ending nonetheless)  |

Definitely DO watch Deadwood, which was the most perfect television, and Firefly.
Southland, which was an excellent LA cop series.
Pushing Daisies, which only had a season and a half before its axing, but which was sublime.
And G.L.O.W was great too.

I seem to be a curse on this score! Always finding shows I love only for them to be cancelled mainly as they’re American but American audiences don’t take to them! Very annoying
In terms of those I’d recommend of this ilk:
Firefly for sure
Lie to me
Timeless (fans were able to campaign for a wrap up last few episodes but it was a GREAT show)
Quantum leap (that wasn’t the intended ending)
Gilmore girl (ditto)
Travelers
Studio 60 on the sunset strip
The nine
Pushing daisies
You see my point!

"Name a series worth watching that got cancelled
Mindhunter"
I don’t think it’s been cancelled, just the actors and producers are busy on other projects.
Season 3 was slated to start production late next year I believe? |

Why does there need to be more than one series ?
The first series is always the best.
I think all shows should be one series and never made again.
Is it a waste of time to read a book if the author doesn't write a second book of the same title with the same characters in it....... ??? NOPE ! |

Bloody annoying when they get cancelled. Prodigal son was great and also instinct was good, well at least the bringing back Criminal Minds. |

Dave Fincher wanted to pursue other projects over mindhunter so the cast got released from their contracts.
There was also a lot of comments about viewership to cost ratio so it doesn’t look like it’ll be coming back
Which is an absolute shame as it’s such a well made and interesting show |

I’m still peeved that Beecham House was not renewed after it’s one and only season.
I rather fancy the given the sumptuousness of the production, ITV deemed that the inflated budget weighed up against the ultimately disappointing viewing figures was reason enough to shelve it.
I did read however that the writer is still holding out some hope that the show might yet be picked up by another source.
Here’s hoping…. |
