What's a show that should've gotten cancelled or ended SOONER than it did?
Too many "what got cancelled too soon" questions, what's a show that went on too long?
Hard mode: no The Walking Dead

All the characters? Discovery is the Michael Burnham show. It’s a shame she’s such a terrible person.
I’m on the fence about your comment. I agree that many of the 50 page inspiring monologues were hers. But I’m failing to see what makes her a terrible person. Hotheaded, poor impulse control, not a team player (wait am I talking about myself?), sure. Implausibly permitted to lead time and again in a way that makes it difficult to suspend disbelief, absolutely. But terrible? She’s not space Karen.
The very first episode she attacks her commanding officer and ultimately gets her killed. Her direct involvement in starting the war that killed hundreds of millions is up for debate.
She continually puts her own opinions first and ignores or undermines direct orders, and those around her if they disagree.
There’s precedent in other Star Trek shows where the violate orders which are obviously wrong, but the ones she breaks aren’t.
And despite being raised by Vulcans, she has the emotional control of a 12 year old.
An awful character, and definitely the fault of the writers and not Sonequa Martin-Green.
