phaolo: Thanks.
Btw, does it have some partial conclusion along the way or is every season open ended like S1?

phaolo: I'd add Californication
avatar
phaolo: Ah yes, S1 had a kind of nice ending.
The rest is just more mess to extend the series.

Aturuxo: Westworld, the first season could be watched as standalone. It's an open ending, but I wouldn't mind if it ended there (I'm a bit wary of where they plan to go from there).
avatar
phaolo: A full open ending is not too suitable for the list, though.
I'm a bit skeptical about that series, because the concept of the original was nice but already very thin.
They should have made just a movie remake.
Also, we already had other famous adaptations about theme parks going out of control..
From what you wrote I think you would like WW. The ending of S1 is IMO a bit two-fold. It works as staging ground for S2 but could also work as ending. There is closure to all the meaty questions and story strings.

Oh, that's good then. Thanks :)

HunchBluntley: it got cancelled

phaolo: Oh, unfinished series are another fugly beast.
Like I said -- Netflix brought it back for one more after AMC dropped it, so I would assume that they were able to wrap things up (or that seasons 3 & 4 were each self-contained). I don't really know, though, since I didn't feel the need to keep watching it after season 2, since it wrapped things up pretty well. :)

I didn't quote the rest of your post, because I was talking in general.
Anyway, I must say that I had never heard of a "resurrected" series after cancellation, before that comment..

It's happened quite a few times with U.S. series, especially in recent years, with the rise of subscription-based streaming services. Besides The Killing, off the top of my head I can think of The Mindy Project (FOX dropped it, Hulu picked it up), Longmire (A&E --> Netflix), Arrested Development (cancelled by FOX, resurrected by Netflix several years later), Scrubs (I think it went from NBC to ABC), Medium (NBC to CBS, I believe)...and I'm pretty sure there are some other easy examples that evade my recollection at the moment. Edit before posting: Oh, Family Guy (was on FOX, I think wound up on some other channel for a bit after being canned [not sure about this part], then came back to FOX and became a hit), American Dad! (FOX to...TBS? I think?), Futurama (resurrected by Comedy Central years after FOX pulled the plug), and the unfortunately-named Cougar Town (ABC --> TBS) as well.

Supergirl (CBS -> CW), although CBS didn't officially call it a cancellation...

phaolo: - Jojo Bizzarre adventure S1 (it ends properly, with maybe a short hint about a sequel, but I read mixed reviews about the rest).
The rest is worth watching they're just different. Stardust Crusaders is sorta Episodic monster of the week stuff. Though there is an overall story.
Diamond is Unbreakable is great.
The second Arc (part 2 of Season 1) is still my favourite overall.
MST3K was cancelled by Comedy Central and renewed by SciFi where it was eventually cancelled for good.

I think that's when my complete mental breakdown started. :P

Thanks Omega.
Each one ends properly, right? (no open endings)

Aye, proper endings.
Any opionions about The Walking Dead series?
I stopped at S1, because I didn't like the characters at all.
Also, zombie survivals become boring after a while, without any new concept.

P.s: Telltale's later game (S1) was way better due to Clem & Lee!

Yeah, no point in following TWD show more than that, either. If you're into comics, I'd recommend it, a lot better than the series (I started with the show, then switched to the comics when I learned the show was based on them).
No, none of those are worth watching more of (or any of, really)

Try:

The Practice + Boston Legal
Six Feet Under
Deadwood
The West Wing
The Wire
MASH
Farscape

and about 200 other shows first

possibly one of the worst shows I've ever watched (only watched season 1, forced myself to get through it to see if it happened to get any good) - seriously vomit-inducing HORRIBAD

Orange is the New Black is also right there with that - simply one of the worst shows EVER - I didn't make it through the first season it was so atrocious it made me sick to my stomach

Well.. your reaction is a bit extreme lol.
For me the worst in my list are still ok, like 7\10.
Maybe our tastes are too different. :P
