12 Sci-Fi TV Shows Let Down By Terrible Endings

Lasting three seasons, Dark Matter was a solid Syfy series based on the comic series of the same name by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie. The show followed an ensemble cast featuring genre stalwarts ranging from Continuum’s Roger Cross to Silent Hill’s Jodelle Ferladn and boasted a stellar premise.
