      Was Years and Years discontinued/the ending was changed? From how I saw it, it seemed to have a proper ending.

        It was just 1 season right? Felt to me it had so much potential to continue, like a buildup to something but noting to follow up

          It seemed like a self contained single season to me, not sure what more would have entailed. Could still be interesting though, I suppose

            Maybe it’s just that I fell in love with the dystopian world they created and loved to see more. It’s a while ago that I saw it, can’t remember the ending anymore. Didn’t stick but the feeling and the world they created did.

      the game of thrones ending was actually written by the author, he gave them the biggest moments that would happen

        I heard is wasn’t written by him, as the books aren’t finished yet, but he approved the screenwriters to continue writing and he approved what they wrote.

            Yeah but it was written in a Hollywood way. With heroism etc where characters are central, while the books regularly kill main characters and show a much deeper important layer where characters are just disposable tools. That’s why everyone is so disappointed with the seasons which have no books imo.

    I haven’t seen this one mentioned yet, Daybreak.

    Teen drama series about teens trying to survive in a zomble apocaylse, it was well written but what really makes me want a season 2 is the cliffhanger that shifts the entire show on it’s head.

    Throughout the series, Josh (the main character) is trying to get a girl called Sam, in the finale Sam rejects her because she notices he wasn’t really in love with her. Josh was just trying to play a hero getting a damsel in distress, it was a amazing breakdown of toxic masculinity that makes so much sense if you rewatch the series with the twist in mind. Sam then becomes the leader, the position that Josh has been working for the whole series and that’s the cliffhanger. I remeber people getting mad because those were the exact types of people Josh was. A season 2 could have gone even deeper into the toxic masculinity angle and that would have been awesome.

        I think it’s would have depended if it were made as a planned story, or open-ended one that ends when it gets canceled. And after Buffy, my guess is it would have been more focused. On the other hand, it was on a more major network, obviously with way less freedom.

    Raised by wolves. Like, more than anything. I want to know what happens so badly.

    It was such a unique, utterly batshit crazy show that just really started going off the rails in the best possible way at the end of season 2. There was something so hauntingly bleak about it all that I fell head over heels in love with and its cancellation hurts to this day.

    Really like earth 2. This point it would have to be a reboot. I swear there was a British version that was somewhat decent that was also cancelled but I cant remember its name.

    I’m surprised no one mentioned My name is Earl, it’s a tv show about a guy who wins the lottery and is immediately hit by a car, he then hears about Karma so he decides to turn his life around by making amends for all of the wrong things he did. It’s a very fun comedy, and it was cancelled on a cliffhanger because the producers specifically asked if they were getting a next season and were told yes.

    This one is the one that hurts me the most, because they knew how the ending was going to be, but didn’t got thr chance to film it, and it would have been perfect. Essentially he would have gotten to an item on the list that he just couldn’t do, whenever he tried something would prevent him from doing it, and it would seem that karma was against him. But then someone would come to him wanting to make amends for something they’ve done to him, and he would ask where the person got the idea, and it would be because someone made amends to him, and he would keep pulling at that thread until he found out that he inspired people around him to make their own lists, and those people inspired others, and so on and so forth so he would feel that he finally did more good than bad and would tear up the list and continue with his life. Oh, and the cliffhanger? It wouldn’t matter, it was just going to be an excuse to bring some celebrity, they didn’t even knew who the father was going to be.

    PS: if you liked My name is Earl, and you weren’t aware there’s another TV show by the same people called Raising Hope which is the same style of comedy, with a bunch of the same actors, and they make constant references to MNiE.
