I actually think the cancellation of 'The Society' was the right call, even though everyone in my friend group is still mad about it.

After that cliffhanger with the bus, the writers had clearly painted themselves into a corner with the whole 'parallel universe' thing, and I think a second season would have just been a mess of confusing explanations, so what specific plot point from a canceled show did you think was actually better left unresolved?

Seriously, that ending of 'The OA' was perfect as it was.

Man I gotta say I really disagree. That ending felt like a cop out to me. All that buildup across two seasons and we just get a school shooting that might or might not be real? It dodged every question the show set up. The mystique was cool and all but there's a difference between artistic ambiguity and just not finishing the story. I wanted some actual answers about the dimension jumping and the movements and the whole OA mythology. Ending it on a cliffhanger with a maybe massacre just left me annoyed not moved. Felt like the writers wrote themselves into a corner and found the easiest way out.

Agree completely with wade_lewis on this. That ending left me staring at my screen for a solid five minutes just processing it. They took a huge swing and actually stuck the landing, which almost never happens. Trying to tie it up with a normal bow would have ruined the whole weird magic of the show.
