Thought this was an interesting question and I’m sure there’s lots of suggestions out there.
Firefly

1899
I’m still heartbroken Netflix cancelled it because it had the unfortunate timing of airing at the same time as Wednesday. The directors’ previous series, “Dark”, was a proper mindfuck.
Dark was amazing. I didn’t bother with 1899 after I heard that it was cancelled.
I think I’m developing a fear of commitment with shows these days, with so many cancelations
People have already beaten me to Firefly over and over again so I’ll add one likely to have been forgotten:
Carnivale.
Ended on an unbelievable cliffhanger, left SO MUCH unanswered, could’ve run for another decade. I’m re-mad that this show got canceled now.
Deadwood. The movie was too little way too late.
As a HUGE deadwood fan, i agree. Its probably my overall #1 favorite show of all time. I felt like the movie was Milch calling in before his disease took him completely.
Final Space.
Olan had one season left before the company buried the show as a tax write off
Reading this made me look it up. Final Space was more than a one season show?? Guess I have some catching up to do.
If you missed it, Olan got a deal to put out a hardback graphic novel tying up the show, called Final Space Ends. Upside: a real ending. Downside: not a show, not available digitally(one of Warner’s conditions), and it’s $125. Tentatively scheduled to ship late next year.
So realistically it doesn’t have an ending, because there is a zero percent chance I will ever pay $125 for it…
Adventure Time. It really needed one more season to fully flesh out the storylines they set up. Cartoon Network really screwed them (and other shows like SU) over
Firefly
Expanse, of course
Game of thrones, but it’s the new series 7 and it rewrites original 7 and 8 and they don’t exist anymore.
My Name is Earl
Dirk Gently, the BBC America/Netflix one.
First season, phenomenal! Second season was pretty good, not as good as the first but still good. It set up a lot of things that were then not continued and I just want to know what they had planned.
Also Snowpiercer: You’ve filmed it, you’ve edited it, just let us see it!
(Edit: posted this as a reply to someone else. My bad!)
Fringe
Altered Carbon! season 2 was left open ended because it was supposed to get a 3rd season.
Unironically Mindhunter. I’m so mad it’s been canceled. Such a great show.
