In the early 90s MTV had a live action thriller called Dead at 21. Jack Noseworthy played a young man who was part of a secret experiment that raised children's intelligence but would kill them when they turned 21. IIRC the season finale involved his character turning 21 and dying so they were kind of painted into a corner if they were going to do a season 2.

IIRC Strange Luck ended its first season by teasing a tie in to the X-Files but it got canned so nothing happened.

IIRC it had problems going to streaming because of all the period music the show used.

Ghosted also got almost completely retooled in the middle of its only season. When it started the characters were going out on missions to investigate stuff for the secret government agency. Then halfway through there are no more investigations and they spend all their time just hanging out in the office.

A one season show from a couple of years ago that I liked was Making History. It starred Adam Pally as the janitor of a small New England college who discovers that his father invented a time travel duffel bag. He uses it to go back to Revolutionary War times and just kind of hang out and make himself look big by stealing modern day pop culture and pretending he invented it. He's joined by a history professor and Paul Revere's daughter and they just kind of screw around in time meeting historical figures played by comedians.

Just remembered a super fun show that had one season on HBO a couple of years ago and by this point isn't getting any more, Los Espookys. A show about a group of horror movie fans who start a business where they fake supernatural events. An example of the sense of humor is how one of the characters starts dating a guy online who says he's a Spanish Prince, when she finally meets him he reveals that he's been lying the entire time and is only a Duke.

Ralph Crammed In posted:I really liked Becoming a God in Central Florida. It was renewed for a second season but then the pandemic hit and evidently it wasn't working out and now it's permanently canceled and no one seems to give enough of a poo poo about it to try to get a second season going Year of the Rabbit, the period piece cop comedy from Matt Berry, also got killed by the pandemic.

12 Monkeys probably wasn't helped by the weird way Syfy released seasons 3 and 4. They both aired on TV but were released as blocks of episodes instead of regular weekly airing. Like the entirety of season 3 aired over one weekend.

Quoting myself because it was recently announced that season 2 of Los Espookys just finished filming.
