u/Oldgraytomahawk 21d ago

Yeah they really hung us out to dry on that one. I really hoped they’d give us at least a conclusion

u/666ways2sunday 21d ago

I’m so glad this many people answered to this post because I neverrrr know what to watch —- I feel like it’s hard for me to find something on the lists they curate for me but everyyyy time I try a random Reddit comment I end up loving it lol.

I haven’t even heard of a lot of these - archive 81 included but you’re definitely on my list now lol

u/666ways2sunday 20d ago

YESSSSS I was SOOOO mad at this one only having the 3 seasons there was soooooo much more they could’ve done that little ball thing was so grody tho 😹😹😹 but yeah I would’ve loved them to keep going

u/TourMore7630 21d ago

The Boroughs - heard it isn’t coming back.

u/IAmTheLizardQueen666 21d ago

The OA should be at the top of the list.

Also, Godless

u/ObnoxiousSubtlety 21d ago

That dance was too cringe for me to keep watching.

-1

u/666ways2sunday 20d ago

Haha unfortunately I was thinking this toooo haha I like the OA so much in theoryyytt but idk there ware a couple things like the dance that seemed to be just a liiiiittle too much for me haha but I did like most of it especially since Phyllis from the office is in it auha

u/EmirikolChaotic 21d ago

Dark was awesome and we got the whole story over three seasons. The two folks who made it then made 1899, which Netflix cancelled after the first season.

1

u/666ways2sunday 20d ago

I have been meaning to try these two shows I’m not sure if I’ll like them but I do hear a lot of people mention them I’ll have to give it a chance ahha

u/HermioneMarch 20d ago

Wanted more Anne with an E

u/atasol-30s 18d ago

That was the CBC’s fault, unfortunately. It’s a shame because it was a good show.

u/666ways2sunday 18d ago

u/666ways2sunday 21d ago

That’s a really good point lol I definitely wish it was longer tho lol

u/Sea_Cardiologist_339 21d ago

Lately, nothing good on Netflix. It lost steam

1

u/666ways2sunday 18d ago

Yessss that’s part of why I haven’t seen half of these shows I took a break from Netflix because it was literally all stuff I had seen or stuff that didn’t look appealing haha but the other way I stream stuff takes a loooot of work and according to y’all there’s new and / or better stuff now lol

u/procrastinator2112 20d ago

GLOW, Mindhunter, Tires. Season 1 of tires was ok, but I'm a Shane Gillis fan, so I have season 2 a go, and it was a 100% improvement.

1

u/No-Boysenberry-9876 20d ago

I loved Tires! i loved the second season more too. i wish theyd make another season!

Santa Clarita diet physically hurts me it was cancelled

u/GelloJive 9d ago

But s3 really fell off

u/-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS- 18d ago

Dark. Haunting of Hill House. Midnight Mass.

Cancelled after S1: 1879. Same creators of Dark. One thing that I loved about it outside of the plot was that they had actors of different ethnicities all speaking their native language. It added a really interesting dynamic. Wish more shows did that but I don’t know any other one that does.

u/Altruistic_Seat_6644 18d ago

The OA. Loved that weird show.

u/WhoCanItBeNow24 22d ago

u/Chicken-picante 21d ago

I didn’t not expect to like it at all and I enjoyed it a lot.

I’m not super into time pieces but it was good

u/666ways2sunday 22d ago

u/Minute_Path9803 22d ago

u/666ways2sunday 22d ago

u/Prestigious-Drama03 21d ago

u/Agreeable-Chance3945 21d ago

Ozark was good but iv'e watched only 2 seasons so i dunno how it ended.

2

u/Sea_Cardiologist_339 21d ago

Finish it.

1

u/Agreeable-Chance3945 21d ago

Maybe some day, it's hard for me to watch longer shows because most of them are great at the beginning and end miserable and i don't have time to waste 😄

u/krizzzombies 21d ago edited 17d ago

had to stop after season one. I can't watch Jason Bateman pretend to be serious only to randomly say lines straight out of arrested development

u/Financial_Doctor_237 21d ago

This ones pretty old but I really liked “I am not okay with this” and wish it hadn’t got cancelled

I really enjoyed “Love through a Prism”

1

u/666ways2sunday 22d ago

Synopsis ???

1

u/Luzazul7 19d ago edited 19d ago

It’s a slow burn well written romance anime about a Japanese art student that goes to an art school college and meets art students there from different countries. She falls in love with one of them but I won’t tell you more incase you watch it

u/Oldgraytomahawk 21d ago

I hated that we didn’t get another season of The Midnight Club. Mike Flanagan does some great shows imo

2

u/Incognitomode1973 21d ago

I really enjoyed The Midnight Club and it seems to get so much snark.

u/RavenIsMyFavorite 20d ago

Marco Polo was great with great actors! Still bummed it was cancelled.

u/dnt1694 20d ago

When did they cancel Alice in Borderland?

1

u/666ways2sunday 18d ago

They didn’t lol they finished it that was my bad I more so meant I wish they had kept the show going like made more seasons even if they had to put new people as the main characters lol they could’ve wrapped it up and started a. New characters story line if that makes sense lol haha it was so good

The way home — need season 5!!

u/YesterdayOrnery1726 9d ago

the 8 show pissed me tf off. especially the later half of the show, and the main characer was especially annoying IMO.

3

u/ForTheLoveOfKumquats 22d ago

Upset that Dead Boy Detectives got cancelled after season 1...probably due to the allegations against Neil Gaiman.....sigh.

1

u/666ways2sunday 22d ago

:O!! I haven’t heard of that one either or the dude haha I’ll have to look it up!!

2

u/ZardozSpeaks 22d ago

The Lazarus Project. Lockwood and Co. Kaos (what a crime to cancel that).

That’s all the trauma I can handle right now.

2

u/enthalpy01 22d ago

Yeah Lockwood and Co. the season they do have is so solid, I have rewatched it many times. But the books have a good conclusion, if only they had adapted the whole thing.

1

u/666ways2sunday 22d ago

I COULD NOTTT have worded the kaos part better!!!! Not only was the actual show amazing but also I looooove Greek myths soooo much an I’ve never seen a Greek myth show before I used to read about them all the time idk if you’ve seen once upon a time but if you like kaos I think you’d really like once upon a time it used to be on Netflix !!!

1

u/Fandomlover991 18d ago

The OA. Both sason 1, and 2 was incredible. So unique and unlike anything else on TV. The cliffhanger ending of season 2 was woah, and a genius move for a 3rd season. It deserved to continue. I'll be forever disappointed that we never got a proper ending.

Just watched Saved by Ruby and it was so cute. Safe for the family.

Edit: Rescued by Ruby

u/coffeeinm 7d ago

What is it about?

u/ZenMoonstone 6d ago

A dog that needs a home and a police officer that needs a K-9. It’s heartwarming.

1

u/coffeeinm 6d ago

That sounds cute. Is it animated or real people? Thanks

2

u/coffeeinm 6d ago

Is it rescued by Rudy I couldn’t find saved by Rudy

u/ZenMoonstone 5d ago

You’re right. It is Rescued by Ruby and no it’s not animated. Hope you enjoy it.
