What was the worst cancellation for you? (lemmy.world)

"Worst" as defined by you. (It's a blanket question so how you answer is as interesting to me as the content of the answer.)

I thought Firefly was bad, but for me personally Final Space takes the cake. They really screwed the guy over.

You?

After a recent rewatch, I would have to put forward Better Off Ted as top of my list of worst cancellations. Truly underrated when it ran, the writing was witty and sharp, aligning with the humour of Scrubs and Community.

Speaking of, re-watching Community slowly peter-out over the seasons (despite my excitement for the movie!), does preclude me from putting it at the top of the list.

Lastly, for my wasted potential award, I would say Westworld was cancelled just as it sat on the edge of redemption. Season one was a masterpiece, while season two felt like a big retread. Seasons 3&4 were controversial due to the drastic shift in setting to the real (future) world, however the ending of S4 leading back into the Wild West setting was so promising!

I have words on that,

/agree is the short answer. Long answer is too long for this moment. Just, slash agree. It was a planned five seasons and we ended on a low point four season in because we dirty fuckin' humans deserve to end on a low point. But. ...

I was onboard with season 3 and was ok with 4 until they did Maeve so damn dirty. After that I said "fuck this show".
