The Expanse. I'm still surprised how far they managed to pull it off. And when they finally cut it short was due to finding out one of the main actors being abusive, making the situation rather unsustainable. Sad they had to end it up a bit earlier than the books, but happy they carried the plot and the story arcs all the way until there.

I read all the books and short stories, the narrative jumps 30ish years into the future. If they weren't canceled, how would they deal with that?

Have you seen For All Mankind?

Yeah that's a very good example. It still looks a bit cheesy, but i think that's also fine.
