Game of Thrones would not have improved with more seasons. The problem wasn't that they didn't have enough time to finish it, it's that it was unfinishable. There was almost no way to provide a satisfying conclusion. It's true of pretty much every series that lived and died by constantly escalating conflict with no resolution.
Colony
Counterpart! The show was cut after season 2 and had a promising premise. Also, the actors were great and the story was really starting to pick up.
For anyone interested: Imagine your reality splitting into two and the resulting consequences a decade later. How much in common would you have with your other self if the split occurred in your childhood, adulthood, or even middle age? What choices before and after define you? Now add a brutal Cold War between the two realities. Would you trust you?
Outer Range for a newer cancellation, Dark Matter and Kings still sting.
Black Donnellys
Oh, yes. Which reminds me, Reaper.
Marco Polo. Such a shame Netflix chose to drop it.
Warrior. My God what a good show.
Wheel of Time, it kept getting better then they stopped.

seconding Stargate Atlantis. all they needed was one more season, and the outline floating aroind the internet from one of the writers of what that would look like kicked ass
also have to say Super Android Metalder, which is a weird case- the show was cancelled and a rush ending was written, and then the show that was gonna take it's place had delays so they ended up stretching out that rushed ending. that lead to a very wonky set of final episodes for a show that deserved much better
I know netflix has canceled a number of things I liked but outside of that one mexician kunfu anime thing I can't name off the top of my head so I guess the original reboot
I would love to see more of Class of 3000 with music videos that had closer visual distinction as season 1 instead of season 2 where they toned down the different animation styles for the music videos. I want more Jalapeno Head Sunny in my life.
That, or a continuation of Chop Sockey Chooks. That show had what I'd consider an extremely unique setting ( I can't recall any other giant mall cities ) and a visual style that I really like. Though, I'd love it more if they made it more of a PG-13 style so they could get away with cooler things, but you know that would never fly.
Bloodline. It was cut short, I think. They had to rewrite and compress the ending. Damn that shit was good
Didn't "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" get canceled?
I desperately want it back.
The 4400 Terminator chronicles
Lie to me. It was a fun, different crime/drama show. It deserved to at least wrap up a few things.
Girls 5eva.
Inside Job
The trifecta of 2005 TV shows:
- Threshold
- Surface
- Invasion
The 2005-2006 season was an absolute disaster for new, promising sci-fi shows.
