5 brilliant OTT shows cancelled too soon without a proper goodbye: Anne with an E to Mindhunter
Streaming giveth, and streaming taketh away, usually right after a cliffhanger. These five shows built loyal fandoms, got great reviews, and were axed before they could tie up their stories. Grab tissues, a petition link, and maybe the source novel. We never got to see Anne and Gilbert building a life together, or more whackiness of Lady Jane, or the Darkling solution in Shadow and Bone. Sigh,…
For every streaming platform that brings us new shows, it also takes away beloved titles before they can conclude their stories. Five Korean dramas and an American revival stand out as prime examples of this trend. These series built devoted fanbases and garnered critical acclaim, but were abruptly cancelled, leaving viewers with an unsatisfied void.
Anne with an E, a beloved adaptation of LM Montgomery's classic, was abruptly terminated just as its characters' romance reached its climax. Fans had anticipated a full life together, as envisioned in the books, yet were left with only a partial resolution. Similarly, Shadow and Bone, based on Leigh Bardugo's novel series, was cancelled after two seasons, leaving Alina's uncertain fate and the planned Crows heist unresolved.
Lady Jane, an original historical drama, concluded its single season on a sweet note but never returned to explore its potential storylines. iCarly's revival, though heartfelt, ended with a cliffhanger, due to the return of its absent mother character, Carly's mother.
