I don't think it was the greatest series ever but I would've liked to see an Eyewitness Season #2. The two main characters really grew on me.

One of my all-time favorite tv series is Terra Nova and it's still, to this day, so upsetting!! I don't understand why Fox canceled the series because it had such a good premise. It followed the lives of the Shannon family, who were struggling in a dying world caused by centuries of pollution. The Shannon family has the opportunity to join the Tera Nova program and go back in time to a point where the Earth is young and fruitful. They get the chance to make a new life for themselves and we get to watch them figure out the new world they live in, complete with dinosaurs and adventure. I highly recommend this show to everyone, if you're reading this at least go watch the trailer!

Firefly is probably on here somewhere. Constantine only got 1 series. It was pretty good. What bugs me is services like Netflix that pull down a show before you finish it. I still haven't finished Fringe.

I just recently found out that I am not okay with this was canceled, it was a very fun tv show. Granted it had a pretty stupid plot but I thought it was enjoyable. I don't understand why Netflix keeps canceling the shows I like.

I was very disappointed when I found out that Netflix cancelled I'm not okay with this and The society. Especially because they had already renewed both shows for a second season! I hope they will change their mind again, but I doubt it.

One that I've been mourning a lot recently is The OA!
Knowing that I will probably never get to know what happened after that cliffhanger keeps me awake at night.

I usually do some research before I start watching a show to make sure it didn’t get cancelled. I would hate to start a series only for it to end on cliffhangers.

I loved The Society and wanted to know what happened next. Was very disappointed when I found out it was cancelled. Many years ago there was this amazing show called "Forever" they cancelled that too. People even put up petitions asking them to continue, but it didn't happen. I hate it when they do that. They should have at least done a few episodes and given it an ending.

Most recently we were disappointed that the series Almost Paradise was cancelled after 1 season. Christian Kane is always fun to watch and the entire cast had a great chemistry. But at least we have the Leverage reboot to look forward to. 🙃

I wish Netflix hadn't canceled Messiah season 2. Why people confuse art and religion is beyond my understanding. Though I never watched the series mentioned by you, I can relate to your feeling of disappointment.

No doubt everything you mentioned would have been a great series, add See & The Witcher to it.
