Best 1 season wonder TV Shows
Mostly Drama, Crime, Thriller, Mystery, Medical & Action TV Shows
All would have deserved a second season, some of them were so epic in my opinion they should still be going strong for many and many seasons. Too bad they got cancelled.
But all are still worth watching, even if they did not last.
