It seems as ifNetflixcancels a new show every week, often when it was just about to get good or even in the prime of its life. I get that maintaining so many series is quite the task and not all of them can get the happy ending we all desire but still,Netflixcan be quite brutal.
What’s the point in investing subscribers investing their hard-earned free time in these beloved series, only to rip them away? That’s why this article is more of a plea to Netflix to consider bringing back some of its best original shows that were cancelled far too early. Also take a look at thebest new films to stream on Netflixand thebest new films to stream on Disney Plus.

Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj – six seasons

If you’ve not had the chance to watch Patriot Act, do yourself a favour and remedy that right away. The US comedy talk show where comedian Hasan Minhaj dives deep into critical issues (both political and non-political) affecting our world is one of the best-produced shows ever to hit Netflix.
Why? Because it balances the serious subject matter in a relatable and simple manner that never feels too overwhelming. Sprinkle in some comedy, modern sensibilities and hard-hitting interviews that are not afraid to ask the tough questions and Patriot Act was a triumph in every sense of the word. No wonder it won an Emmy.
Altered Carbon – two seasons

Set in the year 2384, Altered Carbon is based on the novel of the same name and takes place in the futuristic megalopolis known as Bay City. Starring Joel Kinnaman (season one) and Anthony Mackie (season two) as ex-military turned investigator Takeshi Kovacs, the interesting premise of one consciousness being able to transfer between different bodies was insanely cool, something that could have kept the show fresh for years to come. Just think of how they use regeneration inDoctor Who.

Not only this, but the visual Cyberpunk-like style for Altered Carbon was spectacular, harkening back to the days of Blade Runner. It also sports some slick action sequences that made it stand apart from all of Netflix’s other offerings.
Space Force – two seasons

A Steve Carell-led comedy show from The Office creator Greg Daniels. How could that go wrong? Well, it did, though it still deserved better. While season one ofSpace Forcewas undoubtedly flat, season two started to build on the incredible comedy talents of its supporting cast, such as John Malkovich, Tawny Newsome and Ben Schwartz. It just needed more time. Anyone that has seen The Office (US) will be aware of just how out of place the first season is and even season two isn’t the best of the bunch. A couple more seasons and this could have been another classic.
GLOW – three seasons

There you have it. Five Netflix series that deserve to be brought back from the dead. I’m not asking for much. Just let some shows get to the finish line more.
It doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon withanother Netflix series confirmed to be endingfeaturing stars of Top Gun: Maverick and Hamilton, although this cancellation was not directly down to the streaming platform, for once.
