I'm still vvv bothered that In The Flesh got cancelled, when they set up so many potential interesting things for season 3, and the show was so good you knew they'd do something interesting and unexpected and heartbreaking with it.

British shows get cancelled too easily so I always wait to watch them. I've been burned too many times. I read it's because they usually only have so many slots in their lineup for specific genres so if they want to make a new one of that genre they just cancel what's already out. I'm not sure if that's true?

It was cancelled because the BBC was faced with a lot of budget cuts around the airing date (despite our licence fee staying the same, don't get me started tho) - the channel this used to air on (BBC Three) was taken off air and moved online. It just didn't have a home, sadly.

I think fantasy/concept shows are most often cancelled in the UK, often because they air on the secondary channels, not on the main ones so they never get as good viewing figures compared to how much they cost so they're cut, no matter their quality.

tho tbh I don't think most British shows are cancelled too early, I like that British shows are often short and sweet and aren't allowed to wither and die when they get rubbish and the writers run out of ideas.

The series finale cliffhanger of Popular fucked me up when I was 12, lmao. I think that was the first time I'd experienced a show getting cancelled without resolving anything.

[colorsblend]

Ugh yes! I was so mad.

[chungkingxpress]

I loved Popular but I can't remember a single thing about it.

[_starsprite]

yeah I was devastated, but at least Ryan Murphy came out and said what he had planned and that appeased the Brooke/Harrison shipper in me!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

I will never get over that ending, and never forgive Fox for cancelling it.

Ugh, Fox has always been such a flop network.

FOREVER MAD ABOUT TSCC!! it's been years and i'm still furious.

[pepsi_twist9]

YES. I'm doing a rewatch and it's still so good. I'm also so mad it's been so much better than any of the other Terminator content post

[wendelah1]

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles was brilliant.

[spittingfish]

I think Hannibal fans generally find the ending satisfactory. Most of us just want another season.

[chungkingxpress]

I loved how Hannibal ended.

[foryoursake08]

yeah. Like yes, I guess it technically was a cliffhanger, but I'm happy with it.

[bethmai]

yeah same I loved it. Season 3 was a bit tiresome for me (it felt like a bit of a slog) but it ended perfectly tbh - I don't think another season would do it justice actually.

Rewatching Pushing Daisies this year made me wish they hadn't included the rushed epilogue tbh.
