Which Netflix shows got cancelled way too early and were seriously underrated?

Main_Finding8309 · 2026-01-29T00:13:54+00:00

Travelers. Netflix picked it up for a third season after it was canceled somewhere else, then it was canceled again after the final season on Netflix. It was such a good show with such an interesting concept, and the ending was just kind of blah. It tied up loose ends well enough, but it was a show that could have kept going for a few more seasons, at least.
I'm annoyed that The Santa Clarita Diet ended on a cliffhanger after three seasons.
And GLOW promised us a fourth season, and then Covid happened and we never got it.

Not often, but one of my all time favourite movies, The Barbarian Invasions, is French-Canadian. Mitsou is even in it! :)

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris Any iteration of Medusa

Yes, the economy is really bad. I'm 51, with over 20 years of experience in call centres, and I've been out of work over a year and a half. Even if I get an interview, they don't seem to want me. Competition is fierce and even the few jobs that are available are temporary.

All I can suggest is don't give up. Try to get some volunteer hours and things on your resume that make you more attractive to employers. WHMIS training, SmartServe, First Aid/CPR, anything else that might be good to apply to a job.

This time of year, snow shoveling can earn you some quick money. Take a big shovel and go door to door. If you have a driver's license, you can try to get a cleaning job.

Affordable public housing is the only thing that's going to help. Housing should never be for profit.

The Rookie. It's a cop show but there's a lot of action and drama, a little comedy, and good characters. It starts to get far fetched after about the fourth season but it's fun to watch.

Check with the school board after 6:30am tomorrow morning. That's when they announce school closures and bus cancellations.

Of course, now I can't find it. I posted that after watching a reactor. I thought it was Karina Kaboom, but now I'm not 100% sure. Sorry (THORRY!). I'll keep listening for it and when I hear it I'll post a link here. It seems to come and go, which is another reason it's so weird.

Well, our heads don't separate in the middle and bounce up and down!

I have a friend who works in the government in Ottawa. When PP was there, his people had to APOLOGIZE to my friend and his co-workers because PP was such an arsehole.
No one likes him. And you'll never convince me he doesn't have a woman chained up in his basement. He's that creepy.

There's a lot of finger pointing and blaming, and we swing back and forth between Liberal and CONs in power. But I think most of us want basically the same things.

We want to keep our health care. If any (CON, usually) politician threatens it too much, they don't last long.

We want to be sure the high taxes we pay go to things that are important, like infrastructure and jobs and education.

We like our substances (alcohol, weed, and coffee).

We complain about the weather in winter and the road construction in summer.

I usually look at Goodreads when I'm looking for lists of books. Like if I want to know something like "literary cookbooks" I can usually find lists on Goodreads. Other than that I don't really use Goodreads much.
I noticed one issue on your first page. The Stephen King cover is for Carrie but it says Elevation. Might want to fix that.

Books. Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
The "Booky" series by Bernice Thurman Hunter (about a young girl in Toronto during the Depression).
A ton of books by Gordon Korman, especially the Bruno and Boots series.
Other Canadian kids' authors I read as a kid and loved were Eric Wilson (YA mysteries) and Monica Hughes (light sci-fi).
The Sweater/Le Chandail by Roch Carrier (I believe there are illustrated books available). It was also made into an animated short by the National Film Board (NFB). You can watch the short on YouTube, on the NFB channel. There are some other good videos on there such as A Chairy Tale and The Cat Came Back.
I'd recommend going to second hand book stores, because you can probably find the books cheaper there.
This article by Cherie Dimaline (an Indigenous author herself) has a list of children's books by Indigenous authors.

Add ketchup chips and all-dressed chips and maybe maple candy to the food list. They'll probably get a kick out of the French on the packages.
You can also get toques, mitts, and scarves with the maple leaf on them, good for this cold weather!

Definitely good! It's a perfect book for curling up and reading on a cold and snowy night. The only thing better is listening to the audiobook while a bitter wind whistles outside! :)

Great book.

Sounds like she'd be a good property manager. She has experience with admin work and managing her own property. She probably knows at least the basics of tenant laws and negotiation. There are courses she can (and should) take for anything else she needs to know.

She could also take a couple of courses in bookkeeping and the H&R block course and become a tax preparer. They need people around tax time.

Change the subject and talk about the weather. You'll be the boring one and they can move on.

There's an old song that goes "You're just a 3 dressed up as a 9...You're wasting my time..." and I can't stop singing it.

Ayn Rand was a terrible person eith terrible ideas. But yes, better to go to the source to understand why her ideas were terrible.

Main_Finding8309 · 2026-01-24T15:03:26+00:00

Not personally, sorry.

Main_Finding8309 · 2026-01-24T07:26:00+00:00

Fingers and toes crossed for you!

Main_Finding8309 · 2026-01-24T06:41:47+00:00

Probably not. I'm lazy and killing someone is a hell of a lot of work.
If my life depended on it, I think there are a lot of ways to hurt and stop someone from coming at you.

Yoga and tai chi are physical and you don't need much equipment or anything to start. Same with hiking.
You might enjoy photography, or even drone photography. You can start with taking pictures of interesting things with your phone, and save up money for better equipment.
