Are any of these cancelled TV shows worth watching?

[TranaGreg]

looks like it already ended, at least in the US. I cant really read about whether it has a decent ending without spoilers though.

Is there any way to expand on this without spoilers? I've read that everyone is separated at the end so it really doesnt seem like any sort of closure was written into the season finale which turned out to be the series finale.

yeah, I thought that the final episodes of this season of Counterpart hadn't aired yet but I see that they have. I just haven't seen them yet.

re: colony - it's hard to do without spoiling, but I'll just say that what I look for in a finale is consistency in wrapping up story lines ... and I felt that they were. The fact that everyone was separated in the end (that's not a spoiler since you already stated it) means that obviously it isn't a wonderful ending where everyone walks off hand in hand into the sunset ... which some people want. I don't.

This isn't what happens in colony but I'll use Thelma & Louise as a great example. You knew halfway through the movie that it wasn't going to end with them going back to normal lives. It wasn't a happy ending - but it was a consistent one, and I thought it was really well done.

I loved Counterpart and was sad to see it go. Last I heard, they were trying to get one of the streaming sites to give them a new season.

House of Cards season 5, the last with Kevin Spacey and the first without its creator, was awful. Some of the worst TV writing I'd ever seen. I would not have watched season 6 even if Spacey were still there.

you're smarter than I am ... I ended up watching season 6 ... my bad ... at least they didn't change the opening music & scenes, that was always a good minute and a half.

I loved Jessica Jones Season 1 but thought there was a big dropoff for Season 2. I thought both seasons of Luke Cage were great.

I'm sure it's just the Canadian exchange rate.

Hey, look, it's Fly!

Mrs. ITC and I loved Last Man on Earth. Very funny. There is an ending, but it's weaker than I would have liked.

Worth a watch.

The credits were always among the best parts of the show, even in the good seasons.

thanks for the thoughts guys...

Out of my original list I'm dropping Masters of Sex and probably Counterpart because I really dont think its going to have a satisfying conclusion after getting cancelled. I might give Colony a brief look and see if it grabs me in the first ep, if it doesnt its getting cut also.

I'll give the Marvel shows a shot, and since I'm going to try all but Iron First, I'll try the Defenders also.

Anyone ever watch The Knick? Its on the bubble...

I enjoyed the Knick a lot, disappointed about the loose ends left after cancellation.

This is spot-on. The first couple seasons were pretty damn awesome, can't remember exactly what happens in seasons 3 and 4 but I remember them being quite good, then after season 5 (and before the Spacey scandal) we agreed we just didn't care anymore.

Loved Last Man on Earth - not on par with the all-time comedy classics but always entertaining with a fun cast of characters. Since comedies don't really need satisfying endings (even high concept ones like LMoE) I'm never disappointed with how they end as long as the episodes are quality until the end.
