One great thing about YouTube is that it has a lot of full runs of short lived shows and I found that it had Nightmare Cafe which only lasted like 6 episodes and debuted in 92. Kind of an anthology series where two deceased people in a diner helped recently departed souls. Loved it as an 11 year old and added it to my list to rewatch. I also liked the concept of Terra Nova (future humans moving back to the Jurassic Era due to pollution) but I think it could be better told in a book form. No Ordinary Family was another along with M.A.N.T.I.S and The Police Academy tv series (yes I’m an unashamed fan of those movies). I guess I’ll throw in the 02 Twilight Zone. Was better than the garbage that Peele did.

One that comes to mind is Avenue 5. Which is one of the few comedies that actually made me laugh because it was smart and subtle and not laugh track bludgeoned obviousness. Expanse is another one where it was cancelled and then picked up again but the extension 3 seasons didn't come close to the quality of the first 3. And I know it isn't GOOD but I still have a soft spot for Krypton because the actors were working their asses off. Yes I know they made the Zod's black but the guy playing the general was so good at chewing scenery that they are forgiven.
I can think of many more series that died to wokeness poisoning before they were cancelled, sometimes long before and the crappy corpse kept riding along until someone at the network realized they were still paying for it.
Dark Matter, Killjoys had a GREAT start and then went full message by season 3 becoming unwatchable. Pretty much the whole Arrowverse went that way with strong season 1 or 1 and 2 and then here comes the stronk wamen. Netflix Castlevania had a great season 1 and then 2 was all about clowning on the White male characters. The First didn't even make it past season 1 until it became all about women and darkies. Agents of Shield is another one, so was Ozark.
I used to watch a lot of TV and I guess I have wokeness to thank for the fact that I watch much less tv now.
Netflix is notorious for having a great first season only to ruin it in the second season
