Gone Too Soon
Series that were 86d too soon and could have done quite better on OTTs (Disney excluded). Network television (in my not so humble opinion) breathed its dying breath last decade. There's not much left that isn't brainless zombie fodder.

- CreatorDavid PastorÀlex PastorStarsSean TealeAllison MillerEddie RamosA man attempts to thwart a giant corporation that seems to have unlimited power.Excellent future dystopia. Now that 'Fleck and Damon have a new network... maybe???!!! A do over???!!!
My series review was added to the series page on November 23, 2022. - CreatorKenneth JohnsonScott PetersStarsElizabeth MitchellMorris ChestnutJoel GretschAn extraterrestrial race arrives on Earth with seemingly good intentions, only to slowly reveal their true machinations the more ingrained into society they become.File this under "Did I hit a nerve?" This reboot of an older series struck a nerve with certain people during the time of airing. There were remarkable similarities with current events and people at the time of airing.
- CreatorBrannon BragaDavid S. GoyerStarsCourtney B. VanceJoseph FiennesJack DavenportA special task force in the FBI investigates after every person on Earth simultaneously blacks out and awakens with a short vision of their future.Great premise, awesome cast, but it could have benefited from better writers to plug some gaping plot holes.
- CreatorNick WautersStarsJason RitterSarah RoemerIan Anthony DaleWhen a man goes looking for his missing girlfriend, he stumbles upon a government conspiracy that is bigger than the President himself.Same as Flashforward, epic premise, awesome cast, but could have benefited from more time and better writers to evolve the story without so many time jumps.
- CreatorJosh AppelbaumAndré NemecJeff PinknerStarsJames WolkKristen ConnollyNonso AnozieA team comes together and searches to find out what's causing a rash of violent animal attacks.Gone too soon, didn't hit the target audience. It would have been fantastic on Paramount+, Prime or HBOMax.
- CreatorEric KripkeStarsBilly BurkeTracy SpiridakosGiancarlo EspositoFifteen years after a permanent global blackout, a group of revolutionaries seek to drive out a tyrannical militia that's taken over the former United States of America.Good cliffhanger for a cliffhanger sadist. Very frustrating. I can't picture a redo down the road because this was the cast to do it. This was a rare top notch, perfect cast.
- CreatorDavid S. GoyerDamian KindlerStarsCameron CuffeGeorgina CampbellShaun SiposThe untold story of Superman's grandfather as he fights for justice on his home planet.SyFy gives up too easily. This is the last series I've watched on that network. I'll wait for OTT instead of being disappointed with a premature cancellation.
I'd 150% love to see this revived on HBOMax. - CreatorRyan J. CondalCarlton CuseStarsJosh HollowaySarah Wayne CalliesPeter JacobsonIn the wake of a mysterious alien invasion, a family fights to stay together in a new world order.Sad set of circumstances caused the cancellation. It was great while it lasted. Cliffhanger was brutal though.
- CreatorJosh FriedmanStarsLena HeadeyThomas DekkerSummer GlauSet after the events in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Sarah Connor and her son, John, try to stay under-the-radar from the government, as they plot to destroy the computer network, Skynet, in hopes of preventing Armageddon.This was better than most of the movies. You know I'm right.
I'd love to see this revived on HBOMax or Paramount+. - CreatorCraig PearceStarsLaurie DavidsonOlivia DeJongeEwen BremnerA drama about the lost years of young William Shakespeare after his arrival to London in 1589--when theatre was like rock'n'roll, and a young man with a dream changed the world with his words.Another series that could have fared quite well with a mature audience on an OTT.
