Thought this was an interesting question and I’m sure there’s lots of suggestions out there.
Firefly!!! FFS this should always be the #1 answer
Agreed. This is always my immediate response.
Firefly. Agreed

Was gonna say, kids these days don’t know the pain of 2000’s Fox!
At least we got serenity to kinda tie up lose ends
I didn’t want to see them quickly tied off though, I wanted to see them expand into grand story arcs.
A reboot would be very welcome.
I’d love to see a whole spinoff just on Book’s back story. I’m so curious about who he was and what lead him to become the Shepherd we know and love.
I am mixed. A reboot would be nice but everyone, myself included would compare it to the nostalgia in our head.
Also I have heard that Whedon is somewhat problematic now. If that is true we would probably want someone with less baggage at the helm :(Found this that I need to read to see whats up https://www.vulture.com/2021/05/complete-timeline-joss-whedon-allegations.html
Hopefully he isn’t an ass.
Edit: Welp I read that. It is gross. Whedon hasn’t commented on it but a whole host of his cast and crew are accusing him of lots of bad stuff including one part where they said he wasn’t allowed to be alone with Michelle Trachtenberg when she was 14.
I obviously have no idea if any or all of the accusations are true.
The one true answer.
Yeah, this. It was such an interesting premise, an engaging cast, and really seemed to be going someplace interesting. Would’ve loved to see it get enough time to find its voice. Even their bottle episode was great fun.
Hi Randall Munroe!
Firefly. There is no other answer for me.
Came here to say this. The movie helped but not as much as another season.
There is nothing really close. Better off Ted is an obvious if distant number 2 for me.
FIREFLY. PREACH IT @moops

Firefly 😭💀
Shiny!

I almost said none of them, until this comment and remembered how that shows ends. Man what a weird episode to cut it on
It was a crime! Good effort with the movie though even if it felt like a bit of a forced wrap up
yea there was a lot to try and tie together. Decent job all considered
I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar.
The Expanse
Expanse ended on a good point. We would probably need at least 2 seasons to finish up the final trilogy. If one extra season would be all we got, I’d not want it tbh.
They could finish the series with a final season if you cut out the politics after the time jump. Really just take the last book and maybe a few parts from 7 and 8 and you could make a complete story.
It could be done some way I’m sure, but I’m not sure if it would be as good as it could. We saw what a rushed final season can do to a show with GoT (extreme example, I know).
I’m still comfused why they included the Weird Dogs story though, it left the show more open ended for apparently no good reason.
Me too! So much. At least we have the comics!
Fringe
Veronica Mars or Gravity Falls
I second gravity falls. It’s a great show if you haven’t watched it
The VM of the original series or the VM of the movies and reboot? I think her character changes so much and I’m not sure i would want to follow her down her new, dark path.
OK, who am I kidding, I would totally watch another season.
Mindhunter, without a doubt.
I’m still sad when I think of what could’ve been
Pushing Daisies never got the ending it deserved. Everything had to be hastily wrapped up in one entire episode, third season setups were just left as loose ends, and it really didn’t do such a great show justice
Yup. Great show, left hanging. Dang you ABC.
I wish the answer here was “Westworld”.
That first season was perfect television. And that season finale? My god. I was so excited to watch season 2 and it… just fell short on all fronts. It has its moments, but ultimately failed to measure up to that first season.
Which would have been okay, but then season 3 and 4 happened, and diluted the overall quality of the show to a point where I stopped recommending the show to anyone and just tell them to stick to S1.
I want to live in a timeline where we left off on that S1 ending wondering what could have been.
Seven seasons and a movie!
Eh…the last season was really weak IMO. The wheels fell off once Troy left and I think the meme of “six seasons and a movie” willed that final season into existence.
The Orville. The only show I watched on basic cable at a particular time in ages. Glad they made the jump to hulu, but the 3rd session made me feel like they dumped a couple of seasons worth of plot into it, since they knew they weren’t getting another season.
Gravity falls
