After Kaos was canceled by Netflix, what shows went on way too long?(Picture: Netflix)
In the last few months, some of our favorite new shows have been cruelly cancelled by TV bosses, leaving fans devastated and threatening to cancel their many, many subscriptions.
Kaos, on Netflix, is one of the latest casualties, meaning the world won’t get another look at Jeff Goldblum’s efforts as Zeus anytime soon, while the Brothers Sun, Dead Boy Detectives, The Witcher and Squid Game are among those already axed.
Upset viewers have complained in their droves on social media, questioning why they bothered putting their time and effort into a show for it to end on a cliffhanger, while some less successful shows seem to go on forever.
Yes, we are still hugely bitter that the Society was canceled out of absolutely nowhere after the season finale bombshell.
In light of the latest round of cuts, we decided to take a look at some of the programs that should have ended way sooner than they actually did.
The OC – 2003 – 2007

Teen drama the OC first hit our screens in 2003, following troubled teenager Ryan Atwood (Ben McKenzie) as he’s taken in by Sandy and Kirsten Cohen (Peter Gallagher and Kelly Rowan), and ruffles feathers with the privileged locals in Newport.
The series ran for four years and took viewers on a journey, showing the character changing his bad boy ways as his relationship with neighbor Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) grew, as well as giving us the bromance of dreams between Ryan and Seth Cohen (Adam Brody)
Don’t get us wrong, the OC was so much fun and introduced us to Sandy’s legendary eyebrows, but there are some who have argued that it could’ve just stopped after that first batch of episodes.
Reddit user Honey_toes vowed: ‘I loved the OC so so much and I will die on the hill that if it ended in the pilot it would have won awards (I am alone on this hill). But each season after was sadder and more ridiculous.

‘Had it been canceled after the season 1 finale we would still be lauding it as a seminal work of aughts teen culture, unjustly canceled before it reached it’s potential. But it’s kind of a goober, now.’
‘The OC was never as good as season 1 (which is a HIGH bar for any show to clear tbh) but I think there’s a lot of good stuff in season 2 and season 4,’ Craphole-Island insisted. ‘Season 3 was a real slog but I thought they ended well with season 4.
‘I don’t want to live in a world without Marissa shooting Trey to Hide and Seek.’
Side note: Ending the OC before season two would’ve meant no Olivia Wilde as purple-streaked Alex Kelly, which would have been a crime!
