Everyone hates when a new good show gets canceled. Sometimes the fans can resurrect a show on a different service and breathe a second chance life for the fans. Here is a list of 9 shows that were, in my mind, cancelled too soon and are still worth a watch.
Beyond(2017)
Holden Matthews wakes up from a 12-year coma and discovers that he now has supernatural abilities, ones that propel him into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. Now that he is out of his coma, Holden wants to figure out what happened to him during the past dozen years and how to live in a world that has changed significantly while he was in his coma. However, perhaps the biggest question of all is why it happened to him beyond this Earth's timeline in the hereafter. As Holden tries to adjust to adulthood, a mysterious woman named Willa warns him not to trust the people around him.
Santa Clarita Diet (2017)

GLOW (2017)
In Los Angeles in 1985, Ruth Wilder, a struggling actress, auditions along with many other women in a fledgling professional wrestling promotion called the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW).

She discovers early on that he has employed her former best friend, retired soap opera actress Debbie Eagan to star in the show. Ruth and Debbie had fallen out with one another after Ruth had an affair with her husband, Mark, who she then divorced. The tension between the two women promises either to make or break the developing show.
Project Blue Book (2019)
In this conspiratorial Sci-Fi thriller set some time after WWII and loosely based on the US government's real life Project Blue Book, Captain Michael Quinn and Dr. Allen Hynek are tasked by the US Air Force to investigate reports of UFOs and debunk them, or at least come up with rational explanations for them. While Quinn, a smooth and tough military type, doesn't care about anything other than doing the job he was given, at first, the more skeptical Hynek quickly becomes convinced that some kind of deadly conspiracy is afoot. Meanwhile, as Cold War paranoia spreads among the population, a charismatic blonde with an agenda of her own befriends Hynek's lonely wife.

Some of these shows were canceled for lack of viewers or budgets that are too expensive. In some cases the networks are completing the story arcs, and finalizing the series. In all cases I think the shows were good, and could have continued and canceled way too soon. Maybe some will get a second chance on the big screens but in all cases, would be interested in your thoughts. Did you like any of these shows? Would you want them to continue? I think my biggest disappointment was the canceling of Lost in Space. I thought this show was a great re-imagining of the show. I will miss that one the most from this list.
For me, some of the shows on your list I didn’t like at all and can see what they were cancelled. I really didn’t like Lost in Space, and couldn’t even finish season 1. Timeless really wasn’t my cup of tea either. Ozark Is amazing, but I think it’s storyline really doesn’t have a lot of places to go and am hoping for a good final season. I’m disappointed that the GLOW storyline won’t be completed though. I’d add Daredevil to this list though, and Firefly.
