      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.

        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 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.

    The Expanse. The show had a satisfying ending but the books went a bit further into the future and I’d like to see more in the shows.

      i don’t remember the details but The Expanse isn’t outright cancelled. they need to wait for some license or something to expire

        My understanding is it’s pretty much canceled. I think it was left a little open, but after the whole Cas Anvar thing it’s pretty much dead. To be fair, the last 3 books would be hard (and expensive) to do right.

    This is very difficult… and we must be very careful indeed…

    You shouldn’t ask for MORE simply because you enjoyed it.

    Friends already seemed to go on endlessly - but most shows are rightly put to bed and overshadowed by newer and better ideas.

    Now I’m watching Blue Light and don’t miss NYPD blue… I still watch Kojak occasionally, but I sure wouldn’t want any MORE.

    Gentleman Jack

    • Awesome stuff

    • HBO sucks and I hate them (but Band of Brothers was almost perfect, except that it was a little bit too restricted/condensed/reduced).

    Black Mirror

    'Nuff said.

    • Given that this is a collection of stories, and that I started READING stories a lot more recently (currently just finished Harrison Bergeron - the second story in “Welcome to the Monkeyhouse” written by Kurt Vonnegut. These stories are brilliant ideas put into short form - perfect.
    Quantum Leap
    • was almost as good, but a little more formulaic - so I’d vote for Black Mirror to take the flag forward for interesting short stories.

    Talking about Black Mirror…

    The OA

    • Going back in history…

    Firefly

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

    • Anything of that time with Summer Glau looking incredibly gorgeous. Sure, you know I’m right - even when it’s bad, it’s just really good.

    Scarborough (2019)

    • lovely, and took me back to some childhood holidays.

    Victoria (2016-19)

    • certainly died too early (I love Jenna Coleman).

    Tom and Jerry (original style, painted on glass, with no fear of being politically correct or educational).

    Pink Panther
    • I know, they DID do more, a lot more Tom and Jerry - but most of that just sucks and I don’t know why people even liked the continuation once the original atmosphere was lost. HD brought nothing to Tom n Jerry for sure.

    • Pink Panther owes 90% of it’s success to bad drawing, amazing music, and sheer atmosphere surrounding mostly not amazing stories if the truth be told… but it worked so well. Hours of endless fun with just one bucket of blue, and another of pink paint… yes, you know what I’m talking about.

    I still have a ‘random cartoon’ habit with Pink Panther/Tom n Jerry

    There isn’t much room for anything else in there.

    I just wish there had been MORE of them.

      It’s been 5,124 days 16 hours, 22 minutes and 54 seconds since viewers were last delighted by the whimsy and brilliance that was embodied by this one little show.

      For anyone put off by the fact that it only had two seasons, it is still well worth watching. It was excellent. I would gladly watch two more seasons.

      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.

      I need more Veridian Dynamics.

      Also, casting Linda as Ted Lasso’s wife and having her say “Ted” was one of the most jarring experiences I’ve had watching TV. All suspension of reality was completely broken.

      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.

    Reboot, a Canadian CGI kids show about happenings inside a computer, the guardians, the viruses, the web, I used to love that show.

    It ended in an intense cliffhanger 😔

      So, um, kind of a monkey paw situation here…It did get an, ahem, “reboot”…Which was a hybrid live action/CGI show. It’s not another season, and that’s honestly probably the most disheartening part of it. Like you pulled enough together to do something more Reboot-related and that’s where you went with it?

      It’s just…There. It’s not very good, and it’s not even so bad it’s good either. It’s more like a live action Code Lyoko than Reboot tbh, and it can’t even get that right.

      That used to be one of my favourite shows! That and Beasties. I completely forget how Reboot ended the series though.

      And Electrovagrant is right, there was a second show that got made but it wasn’t watchable. It didn’t seem at all related really, just shared the same name.

        Omg yes! I genuinely forgot reboot: guardian code exists, I watched 1 episode and I didn’t liked it at all
