NFT: Pick one cancelled/finished TV series to revive for 1 season

LawrenceTaylor56 : 6/19/2019 1:45 pm
Saw this question asked earlier. If you could revive one cancelled or finished TV series for one more season, which would it be?

I second Blood Lines on Netflix.  
johnnyb : 6/19/2019 4:03 pm : link
a dark show. Well acted and written. There was more to tell.

Sopranos, my favorite show, would not be a choice of mine- everyone was dead by the end, even Tony.

Loved the Wire and hated for it to end.

The last episode of The Shield, I though, was spectacular, but where would you go with one more season?

Shades of Blue, with J Lo and Ray Liotta, was excellent and another season would be great (post prison).
Oh crap, no I take that back.

a fictional NFL team. I loved that show. ESPN dropped it because of pressure from the NFL.
The Wire...

David Simon wanted to focus on the Hispanic community in another season. Never happened.

Season five had its moments. I think Simon had a personal axe to grind with the Baltimore newspapers and let that bias turn into personal soapbox. The drug/cop lines were still very good, even if, McNutty's serial murderer plot felt forced.

Would also include Stargate Universe. Well acted and not campy at all. SyFy network screwed them.

I can name three:

Dare Devil
Luke Cage
Jessica Jones

DD and Jones got three seasons, and Cage only two. I would have liked a lot more from each. Iron Fist? Nope. Didn't mind its cancellation.

Firefly was my first choice, but it was already mentioned.


There is a rumor that these shows were canceled so that Marvel or whoever could do their own shows on Disney or something like that but according to the contract that could only happen if another outlet like Netflix hasn't made new shows in X amount of years.

I think it also has to do with conflict between Marvel Television (which did the Netflix shows) and Marvel Studios.

Of Married with Children because the show never got a proper finale and it ended abruptly. I know the simpsons was Fox’s first major major hit... but this wasn’t far behind.

Poor reading on my part. I’ll go with The Wire.


Justified had one of the, if not the most, satisfying endings of any of the series. I wouldn't mess with it.

Somewhat typical apocalyptic type show but with a twist. I think 1 more season would have been perfect.

I know they pretty much closed all the story lines in that last episode, but that show was just so damn good.

And of course, the Sopranos. What the hell happened to Tony?
