I very much mourned for 'The gifted' series. I was a little bit relieved when Sense 8 was given a somewhat befitting end.

I was watching a movie called La Brea. The thing is I don't even know if they canceled the series. I hope it hasn't been canceled for real because I've been anticipating the next season. It's gonna hurt me if they eventually cancel it

I feel this so much! I remember when Shadow and Bone was announced to release on Netflix and being so excited to see some of my favourite book characters hit the screen (as much as I enjoyed Shadow and Bone, I was really there to see the crows). Personally, I thought it was a pretty good adaptation and while season 2 wasn't on par with the first, I was so so excited for season 3. Until Netflix did what it usually does with good shows: They cancelled it and I was devastated. So much of the story was left, especially with the crows and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why they would do that.
From what I saw online, it had a pretty big fan base as well, especially from dedicated readers. I'm still not over it and I don't think I will ever be :cry:

Inside Job. I liked it so much better than Big Mouth and Netflix ended season 2 on a cliffhanger and now I’ll never get to know what happens.:(

Seriously, right! I loved that show. I still hope they somehow renew it - but I know they will not. The cast and the story was fantastic.

I hate that feeling! One show that I was disappointed didn’t continue on past the first season was Spinning Out, which depicted life of figure skater dealing with Bipolar Disorder. I also really was enjoying Mindhunter but we never got a third season.
