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?

The X-Files return. 2 brief seasons that felt like they were designed to make sure no one asks for any more of the show ever again.

There are a couple of fantastic episodes sprinkled in there though. One is like a Black Mirror episode with Mulder and Scully being chased by a malevolent AI. There are a few that seem like they came straight out of the 90s monster of the week episodes too.
