      Re Peripheral …. Seems to be a victim of the strike, according to Wikipedia. Last I heard it was renewed for a season 2. But they canceled it anyway.

        Shit I liked that show and the story. I guess at this point don’t watch any streaming shows. They are getting to have the google effect it’s all getting cancled before the story finishes so why start.

        It was cancelled right as it found it’s footing. It’s like the studio forgot that every Trek show takes about 2 seasons to really find itself and that it then takes a few seasons for the people that wrote it off to give it another chance.

      Oh, Terminator was so good. Lena Headey was great as Sarah Connor.

    My Name is Earl. One of my all time favorites and it was surprise cancelled on a cliffhanger.

      If you want closure, here’s what was planned for the ending:

      Garcia said the finale would begin with Earl getting stuck on a really hard list item, frustrated that he would never finish crossing everything off his list. “Somebody shows up at our motel door,” added Suplee recently, “finds us at the bar, and starts to make amends to Earl for something.” Earl would then question where the man got such an idea and “goes back and finds all these people who have lists, who are out there trying to do good, and it all comes back to him. He was the beginning of this.” Garcia concluded, "Earl eventually realizes that his list started a chain reaction of people with lists and that he’s finally put more good into the world than bad. So at that point he was going to tear up his list and go live his life. Walk into the sunset a free man. With good karma.

    I don’t think The Orville was officially cancelled but there doesn’t seem to be any plans for more as far as I know. The last season was great and set up more potential storylines.

      Took me a few seasons to figure out that every season was the same. “I think we’ve found a place to settle down, but there might be a problem…”.

          First season was directed by Frank Darabont who is awesome at making great movies from written works of art. Then AMCunts saw this and fired him after awesome season one and replaced him with Glen Mazzara who never made anything worthy of note. They also doubled the number of episodes for same content and requested that more episodes are shot indoors to make everything earn more money. And it fucking worked.

      I stopped watching when they introduced horrible CGI and fake gun effects (no knock back, no shell ejection, no slide movement).

      I’d argue the first few seasons - apart from the horrible acting from time to time, and prolonged passages just to stretch time, and filler episodes, and dumb people, and…

      Yeah, it was shitty from the beginning.

        I was with them up to the end of the second season with the farm.

        After that they fell into the cycle of characters having to be excessively stupid to inject drama.

        I stopped watching at the point where they pretended Glenn was dead, but he was actually hiding under the bin. Not because it was a cheap trick, but mostly because that was the point where I realised I no longer cared who was alive and dead.

          I stopped watching when Glenn finally died. Mainly due to the fact that I found out through social media because I missed the first episode of that season when they revealed who got beat with Negan’s bat, and everyone on social media ruined the reveal.

          He was my favorite character, and I know in the comics he dies much earlier than in the show, but I lost interest after that.

          Yeah, that was almost the breaking point for me aswell. And IIRC it was a last episode of a season aswell. Fuck that cliffhanger.

    Rome on HBO was a solid show covering an exciting time in Roman history. Sucks that they only had 2 seasons.

      It was too expensive to rebuild the set after the fire. I loved that show.

    Stargate universe ended on a cliffhanger, stargate atlantis ended without dealing with the wraith threat or the evil asgard etc. Star trek enterprise’s cancellation resulted in one of the worst most hated last episodes in scifi. Quantum leap ended without ever resolving the main plot. Inside job like most of netflix’s decent shows, got killed off for stupid reasons.
