Best One Season TV shows

I know there are many One season planned limited series, but I am speaking of One Season shows that got cancelled after only one season.
Here are three that I really liked:
1. Firefly - I have literally watched this series five times through and cant believe it got cancelled. The movie Serenity was a nice concession, but would have loved to have seen these characters developed over several seasons.
2. Awake - this was a really cool show about a detective that would switch between two alternate realities every time he went to sleep. In one reality his wife was alive, but son died in a car accident. In the other the son was alive, and the wife died in the accident. You never really knew which reality was "real" and he would use clues from one reality to solve cases in the other.
3. Alcatraz - this was a show about how all the inmates and guards from Alcatraz vanished in 1963, but then began re-appearing in current day San Fran, having never aged. The show was investigating what happened and kind of focused on one case per week, it was actually really cool.

Wish we could have gotten another season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

I don't know if it was intended to be one season or if it was intended to be a limited series, but the HBO series The Night Of was really good. It came out in that Serial/Making a Murderer hay day but I enjoyed it.

Obligatory: Firefly
I also really liked Caprica, the prequel show to BSG, and wished it lasted longer.

I liked The Riches with Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver.

It's Firefly, and only because of a perfect storm of bad marketing and cable TV fragmenting audiences. Otherwise, if the show was good, it would have lasted longer.

The Job with Denis Leary. Tighter, lighter version of Rescue Me.

Taboo - one of my all-time favorite shows. They still claim to be making another season. Ha, yeah right.
I bestow double 5* on both of these shows, fn sucks they were never renewed or brought back later.
