10 Great TV Shows That Got Cancelled After Just 1 Season
9. Good Girls Revolt
Based on the 2013 Lynn Povich book, Good Girls Revolt tells the real-life inspired story of female employees of a New York magazine in the 1960s. The show was created by Dana Calvo for Amazon Prime Video, and it starred Genevieve Angelson, Anna Camp, and Erin Darke, among others.
Because of the time period and the general aesthetic of the series, it was often compared to Mad Men by critics. However, in the 10 episodes that made it to the screen, Good Girls Revolt never really reached the polished look or the nuanced delivery of the Matthew Weiner classic.
But the foundations were good and there was potential for the series to go up a level, but it never got the time to. The folks at Amazon were impatient and ultimately cancelled it in December 2016, citing low viewership figures as the reason. One slimmer of hope for its revival lies in the fact that the rights are owned by Sony and there have been reports that they are trying to sell it elsewhere.
