Still Upset: Fans Can't Get Over These Canceled TV Shows, Netflix Series Lead Complaints

TV fans on Reddit have been offering up the TV shows they felt were cancelled too soon.

The growing landscape of television in the streaming era means the stakes for success are much higher, meaning some shows do not last for their full intended run. Recent shows such as And Just Like That…  and Gen V both have been cut short recently, and one Reddit thread asked telly addicts to name the ones that hurt the most.

In the r/television subreddit, a discussion began with the question: “What series got canceled that you’re still mad about?” At the time of writing, the post had 68 comments, putting forward a variety of titles.

The most mentioned show was Mindhunter , the Netflix show produced and directed by David Fincher, which followed FBI agents during the 1960s and ‘70s during the beginnings of the process of criminal profiling. The show included portrayals of real life serial killers such as Ed Kemper and Charles Manson. It was cancelled in 2019 after two seasons, but fans have often called for a return.

Netflix cancelled another show that is mentioned several times in the discussion – Santa Clarita Diet . The dark comedy starred Drew Barrymore as a suburban mother who shows signs of becoming a zombie, with her family doing their best to seek out a cure. “Timothy Olyphant in a grotesque comedy and Netflix FUCKING CANCELLED IT!” raged one commenter.

Other notable mentions include Carnivàle , HBO’s dark fantasy that was cancelled two seasons into a planned six season run in 2005. “Cut too short,” lamented one fan . Joss Whedon’s sci-fi classic Firefly was mentioned twice, while there were also calls for comedy drama Pushing Daisies , which lasted two seasons, and Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance , which had just one season on Netflix.

One poster made a plea for Westworld , which was cancelled in 2022 after four seasons, ending with narrative uncertainty that is yet to be resolved. “I know its not well liked by most people here, but I loved it” read the post. “I hate that we’ll never get a proper send off now that a reboot movie is happening.”

Last year, military-themed comedy Boots made headlines after being cancelled after one season, following criticism from the US government.
