For me it would have to be The Owl House
There are a few good ones I’d love to see, but at the top of my list are Firefly and Sense8.
I think Sense8 wrapped up okay. It was a movie length episode but it felt honest and closed it up.
It did, but I would love to see more of it.
Stargate Atlantis
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.
The writers saw BSG and wanted to make BSG but Stargate. It’s a rough fit hahaha
Yes, absolutely agree.
My one is a show that may or may not have been related to Twin Peaks - after Season 3, Lynch was apparently working on something with a working title of either Wisteria or Undiscovered Night. IIRC it was a tie up with Netflix and was being made by Twin Peaks Productions, which has only ever made TP material, so the chances seemed high.
Unfortunately COVID happened, the project stalled and was eventually dropped, and of course Lynch died not too long ago.
I’d love to know what it was planned to be, TP or not.
RIP David
If you want a trippy show, see if you can find David Lynch’s “On The Air”.
Apparently following the OG Twin Peaks cancellation, there was still a contractual obligation to fill and Lynch pulled together some of the same cast for a wacky 1950s era show about television production.
There are bootlegs floating around from a Japanese laserdisc, but as far as I’m aware, that’s the only home release that was ever made.
7 episodes were produced, only 3 made it to air in the US.

I started watching that once, but found it pretty hard to get into. Should have another go though, thanks for the reminder.
Have you ever seen Hotel Room? 3 unrelated stories, set in the same hotel room in different years. One has Crispin Glover and Alicia Witt and is excellent. The other two are decent enough too. I think they’re all on YouTube.
Not that one, but Four Rooms is a classic. One sequence by Tarantino and another by Robert Rodriguez.
Watching that on shrooms is life changing
Raised. By. Wolves.
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.
Pushing Daisies.
Yes, please and thank you!
Carnivàle.
Oh man, this is a big one. Still worth a rewatch without the ending. That first season especially is so good. HBO lost their nerve and cut the second season budget and pushed them to speed it up.
Had to scroll way too far to find this.
I know netflix has canceled a number of things I liked but outside of that one mexician kunfu anime thing I can’t name off the top of my head so I guess the original reboot
Absolutely would love more Owl House!
Sense8
Yes, I fucking love this show.
The expanse. Last trilogy is fire.
Avenue 5.
Deadwood.
Firefly.
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.

Obvious answer: Firefly
Unpopular answer: Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog.
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
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
Also apparently Joss Whedon is a cunt :(
Rewatching old shows is painful. So much homophobia and sexism and racism was played for laughs
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.
I can’t disagree, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want more.
I for one agree wholeheartedly on both.
Let’s crowdfund Act 4, but done with stop motion Lego.
Crusade (Babylon 5 spinoff)
Freaks and Geeks
Definitely my pick as well. Really good show. “There is a party. And even the geeks are invited!”
