British shows are known for making really short seasons, which is why Fawlty Towers is one of the best shows ever made despite having just 12 episodes. The Syndicate is a British drama that lasted a full decade from 2012-2021, 23 episodes total. Just a year after The Syndicate started in 2013, ABC aired a US remake called Lucky 7. Not living up to its title, Lucky 7 was yanked after just 2 episodes never to air on TV again.
