What shows had awkward or otherwise poor returns from cancelations? (leminal.space)

When watching a show a while after it's released you can sometimes tell when a show was canceled because a season will end on a big (occasionally spiteful) event.

The following season after it's picked back up occasionally stumbles a bit but I'm wondering what examples can you think of that were especially bad?

Veronica Mars. Incredible first season followed by 2 lesser but still good seasons. They made an incredible kickstarter video for a revival movie that I believe was the biggest kickstarter ever at the time. But the movie was really bad. There was another Hulu season after that I can barely remember watching except for the awful ending.

Some things should just stay dead.

How dare you remind me of that movie.

I also read one of the spin-off books and thought it was pretty good. No idea why the movie was so bad.
