For me it would have to be The Owl House

      Dr Horrible had a great ending. That show is as pure and perfect as it can be. Also, Firefly actually got a good ending unlike so many other shows.

      Firefly has aged like fine milk. It is painful to revisit. A few quality moments/episodes here in there, but a lot of problems. The anti-hero thing did not age well

        Also apparently Joss Whedon is a cunt :(

        Rewatching old shows is painful. So much homophobia and sexism and racism was played for laughs

        I haven’t rewatched firefly in over a decade I think. What has aged so terribly? Also why is the anti hero thing so bad? Played out now?

          It came off as (in a good way) edgy and nuanced back then, but now it just comes off that Mal is a selfish asshole with incredibly flexible morals that are somehow glossed over because “I did it for my crew.” For example: People always like the train job and point to it as an example of how he has a heart of gold, but ultimately he created problem that threatened the community, and his “act of heroism“ was deciding not to do a cruel and criminal act designed to enrich himself. We’re supposed to think that was all OK because he didn’t take a closer look at the crime he was committing? That’s just lack of accountability.

          The brown coats also are clearly confederados. I don’t want to glorify people who won’t let go of the US civil war.

          Jayne? Disgusting to watch. Especially all that we now know about Baldwin.

          And how many times do we have to hear Mal call Inara “whore”?

            Those are all good points though I disagree a bit with the brown coats/confederates but I get what you mean.

            I think I’ll let that show sit in my memory as it is. Without rewatching any of it I can definitely see the issues. Especially Jayne thinking more on it

              Yeah I would say if you ever really want to revisit it, just be very particular about which episodes you watch lol

      The good thing about The Expanse is that all of the characters are old in the last trilogy, so we could very well see it down the road with most of the original cast.

    Niche show, but Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Holy shit that was a great show and SO well written, but I can see why it wasn’t well received on a traditional TV format - if you didn’t watch from the beginning and keep watching to the end it wouldn’t make a lick of sense. Definitely meant to be enjoyed with a serious watch of an entire series and not episodically.

    I would give my left foot for a Season 3.

      I just wanted to post this! It felt like they were setting up a really interesting overarching plot with the “backstage of reality”, I wish they told us what their plans for that were.

      I know not a lot of people liked Stargate Universe, but I would have loved a proper ending there too.

      I haven’t read the comic, but from what I hear it’s pretty different from the show.

        The only reason I didn’t say Universe is because I didn’t really care for it. The tone was too different for me and wasn’t the Stargate I loved. Atlantis felt very much like SG-1 but with a different setting, enemies, etc, and it was cancelled to focus on Universe.

      It had the ol “eh it’s the last season just like writers do whatever the fuck they want” thing happen, and behold, there were several great episodes in the last season.

      Yep. Very good show that absolutely needs to be picked up by another studio. Too bad by the time they do, the kid actor will be like fucking 27. Rip.

    Firefly

    Stargate Atlantis

    Stargate Universe (yes, almost all the characters was unlikeable, but I’d still have liked a resolution)

    Star Trek Prodigy

    Star Trek Lower Decks

    The Lazarus Project

    There are a few good ones I’d love to see, but at the top of my list are Firefly and Sense8.

      They did the same with Star Trek: Enterprise. It finally picked up momentum in the fourth season when Manny Coto took over as show runner, then they killed it.

      Mini rant: I went to an anime convention (ConnectiCon) and was wicked excited to see that Pirates of Dark Water had a time slot. I’d finally get to see the full run!

      Then someone had the bright idea to play it in a different time slot to cover something that fell through and so it wasn’t played in the schedule time slot (due to rights issues or something?). I’m still annoyed.

      I should probably just find an alternate way to watch it, it’s been over a decade since that convention.

    Santa Clarita Diet. It’s not too late (6 years ago) and they could still bring it back for a finale run of episodes or film.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It’s too late (16 years ago) but the show had just started to figure itself out and setup a HUGE cliffhanger that sadly goes nowhere.
