“I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.”

I’m getting into a terrible habit of really getting into a television series, really enjoying it, and then finding out that it’s been cancelled.

This leaves me with no resolution to a lot of things; character arcs, plot lines, and a proper ending.

I used to really find this quite annoying but it’s sort of fun now to see how many shows I can curse by enjoying the first series!

Whilst I’m doing this I’m going to be posts looking at all these shows that I’ve watched so far that just end leaving characters returned from hell and a main character with her throat ripped out!

I’m also going to count shows that had a film to tie things up, as they never really do (looking at you Firefly).

There will eventually be a list on this page linking to each, here are some off the top of my head.
