I must admit, I am feeling quite terrible at this moment. All I can think about is getting back what I have lost. My fellow fans of the show My Lady Jane are also feeling the same way. We are all devastated after learning that Amazon has decided to drop the show after just one season. It leaves us with a never-ending void, wondering what happens next in the life of our beloved protagonist who narrowly escaped a beheading.
Sadly, this is not the first time we have been left hanging on a cliff, with no resolution in sight. It's no wonder we all have trust issues! It's incredibly frustrating to become so invested in a TV show, only to have it end with more questions than answers. While we understand that every series must come to an end, there are some that deserved a proper farewell.
Let's take a look at a few shows that ended abruptly, leaving us all wanting more. One of the most shocking examples is the cancellation of Angel. Despite its popularity, the spin-off series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was dropped after just five seasons, without any decline in ratings. This left fans shocked and disappointed, as they could no longer watch Angel and his team help people with their supernatural problems. And to make matters worse, the creators decided to leave us on a cliffhanger, with Angel's fate hanging in the balance as he prepared for a final battle.
Another show that left us wanting more is How I Met Your Father. As a spin-off to How I Met Your Mother, it promised to reveal the story of how a parent met their children's father. After nine seasons of teasing and hints, we finally meet the mother in the series finale. It was the ultimate payoff for sticking with the show. However, fans of How I Met Your Father were left bitterly disappointed when the show was cancelled after just two seasons, never revealing the identity of the titular character. What a letdown!
My Name is Earl is another show that had a premature ending. The main character, Earl Hickey, realizes that his life could be better if he stops doing bad things and tries to right his wrongs. Over four seasons, he works his way through a list of all the naughty things he has done, seeking forgiveness and trying to be a better person. But just when things were getting interesting, the show was cancelled, leaving us all wondering if Earl ever completed his list.
Another show that ended before its time is The OA. After being missing for seven years, a blind woman returns with her sight restored, telling a group of people the story of her abduction. The creators had planned for the show to have five seasons, but it was cancelled after just two, leaving fans with an unexplained ending. The final season revealed a meta-twist, with the characters finding themselves on a TV soundstage in a different dimension. It was a mind-bending plot twist that we will never get to see play out.
Netflix also received backlash for cancelling Shadow and Bone, one of its most popular shows. Starring Jessie Mei Li and Ben Barnes, the show ended with a major cliffhanger, with a character becoming king and another discovering new abilities. It's a shame that we will never know what happens next, but at least we can turn to the books for some closure.
The mysterious series 1899 starring Emily Beecham and Aneurin Barnard also suffered the same fate. After just one season, viewers were left desperate for a second, as the final episode ended with a major plot twist. Unfortunately, the second season never came, leaving us all hanging with no resolution in sight.
It seems like some shows just can't catch a break. Lockwood & Co., a supernatural thriller, was cancelled before it even had a chance to take off. The leader, Anthony Lockwood, was about to reveal a major secret about his past when the show was suddenly cancelled. We will never know what was behind that locked door...how frustrating!
Last but not least, The Midnight Club is another show that ended before its time. Despite being written to play out over several seasons, it was cancelled after just one. The show followed a group of terminally ill young adults who form a pact to communicate beyond the grave. But just as things were getting interesting, the show was cancelled, leaving us all with nothing but unanswered questions.
It's a shame that so many great shows were cut short, leaving us all feeling disappointed and wanting more. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. We can only hope that in the future, our favorite shows will get the proper send-off they deserve. Until then, we will just have to imagine how things could have turned out.
