Also Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me
Yes all of Brian Fuller's shows deserved better
Red Dwarf, but with both Naylor and Grant continuing on from before the split. It felt to me that the quality dropped once they fell out and Grant left.
GoT, shame it got cancelled after GRR ran out of material, what would a sixth and seventh series looked like? Not some badly written, overly nasty, fan fiction, but actual quality as we had in the earlier seasons and books?
True Detective season one, by that I mean actually carrying on that plot line with the abuse cult rather than the "reboots" with new casts and settings in the future seasons. Those are great, I still want those, but I also want more of what we had in season one.
Hannibal, its time to revisit this overly stylized wardrobe of a cooking show

My one is a show that may or may not have been related to Twin Peaks - after Season 3, Lynch was apparently working on something with a working title of either Wisteria or Undiscovered Night. IIRC it was a tie up with Netflix and was being made by Twin Peaks Productions, which has only ever made TP material, so the chances seemed high.
Unfortunately COVID happened, the project stalled and was eventually dropped, and of course Lynch died not too long ago.
I'd love to know what it was planned to be, TP or not.
RIP David
If you want a trippy show, see if you can find David Lynch's "On The Air".
Apparently following the OG Twin Peaks cancellation, there was still a contractual obligation to fill and Lynch pulled together some of the same cast for a wacky 1950s era show about television production.
There are bootlegs floating around from a Japanese laserdisc, but as far as I'm aware, that's the only home release that was ever made.
7 episodes were produced, only 3 made it to air in the US.

Surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet but
Firefly
Had such a cool universe and cast of characters and was getting super interesting right when it was cancelled
Archive 81. Absolute S tier banger of a show that Shitflix cancelled after 1 season.
Dark Matter (2015) - They just leave it on a cliffhanger on that after doing a premonition scene teasing about future events? How can you have a prophecy in a story but never have an ending?
spoiler
I'm talking about that scene where the Android went forward in time and saw someone resembling Five was talking about a lot of future events, Dwarf Star Conspiracy, etc... during the Time Loop epispde where the Android was sent forward in time.
I'll mention one nobody has said yet: Kaos.
The last episode was definitely setting up a second reason that looked interesting, but then it never happened.
Final Space.
Sandman. Only comic I've ever really read and the show was surprisingly on point. Even given Gaiman's evil history I think it's doing us fans a disservice by killing it.

Clone High
Duckman
Mostly because both ended with shocking cliffhangers.
Inside Job could have continued but I am not sure they had a bigger story planned.
I’ll go with some not mentioned.
1899 - Same creators of Dark, so I feel like it would have been worth it.
Lie to Me- it was one of the “of the week” type shows that kept my interest back then
Freak and Geeks - Crazy it got one season. Almost every single cast member went on to be super famous.
Green Lantern The Animated Series. Would have been great to have a fully finished story for this.
Ash vs Evil Dead
Firefly
The 4400
Top Gear (the UK version)
Edit: As a side note, I would love to see a Eureka reboot

Last man on earth
I loved this show so much. I just started rewatching it last night. I'm a big fan of Will Forte and as happy as I am we at least got 4 seasons, I was always a little surprised at it's popularity. It always felt very niche, but still aired on a rather popular network.
Absolutely would love more Owl House!
HarmonQuest
Terra Nova. Not great but interesting concept.
In recent memory:
- Swamp Thing (cancelled after one season on a cliffhanger iirc)
- Y: The Last Man (cancelled after one season but at least all of the season 1 sub plots ended nicely)
- Stargirl (like The Owl House, which I agree with, had a good and pretty satisfying ending but still ended prematurely)
- Sandman & Dead Boy Detectives (not going to watch Sandman season 2, Dead Boy Detectives ended on a pretty major cliffhanger and I was enjoying it)
