Oh god yes. So good that it'll be hard for me to watch again
Take it sleazy.
Breaking bad.
And better call Saul
Star Trek The Next Generation has one of the best, if not the best, finale to an ongoing episodic tv series ever. I don’t want to compare it to the kind of shows that are just one big story split up into hour long chunks, because that’s a totally different style of show and many have good endings. But for shows that are mostly separate, TNG did it better than any show I can think of.
It did a fair, but not gratuitous amount of fan service, and it was all in service of the actual plot. And it still somehow felt like a good episode of the show. But it also perfectly bookended the show back with the very first episode of the show. It was as close to perfect as you can get.
So, five-card stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit.
Marvellous finale.
Man this quote is just so good.

The Wire
Rome
I mean, The Wire was virtually perfect TV. Everything about it was good.

Justified.
Fringe (I like season 5, sue me).
Farscape (the miniseries has some bumps but the actual end is solid).
In a couple months I hope to be able to say The Venture Bros. 🤞
Fringe is an absolute masterpiece beginning to end and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. NO NOTES.
It was uneven, but s2 and s3 were incredible pieces of television, and I even loved s1.
Amen on all.
The last few episodes of farscape were incredible, need to get a clean copy and Starr again.
Six Feet Under
Satisfying and tear-inducing. I know people that still tear up to this day when they hear the ending song. Great show.
Dark
Better Call Saul
Sopranos
Mad Men
Quantum Leap (original series)
Star Trek TNG

Lost
Surely you're joking.
Absolutely not! I love the ending and don’t understand the hate it gets.
I loved Alias. Super 8. MI3. Star Trek. But JJ rode the "magic box" thing a little too hard in phase 2 of his career there. I like a lot of what Lost had to offer but that last season was a real cop out. For the most part, instead of answering questions from the series they just made up new questions in the last season and answered some of those. It was some real hand waving BS.
JJ had very little to do with Lost after the first half season. He just helped set up some of the initial mysteries and left it to Lindelof to try and sort out the resolution. Lindelof went on to do some amazing series... the Leftovers and Mrs Davis both have good (although somewhat ambiguous) endings
But JJ rode the “magic box” thing a little too hard in phase 2 of his career there.
Alias had the Rambaldi device. JJ rode the "magic box" all his career.
"Hello my name is Christian Shepard and I'm here to guide you into the gates of heaven"
Futurama. It has at least 3 very satisfying endings.
Frasier
a lot of people hated it but i personally liked How I met your mothers end
No, I totally agree! A standard "happily ever after" would have been so boring. The ending we got gave context to why Ted was sharing the story with his kids. I was "surprised" at first, but really I think if people consider how the alternatives they wanted would have played out, it wouldn't have been meaningful.
I would like to participate in this thread, but I'm too big a fan of unsatisfying endings...
Regular show
Bad Sisters
Claes Bang was the MVP of that show. The performances were all great, but he was just so perfectly 'the prick' that the entire show held together. If he hadn't nailed that character we'd have felt a whole lot more shitty about cheering on attempted murder.
100%. What a prick indeed. He is an amazing actor.
Every time he called Grace 'mammy' my wife clenched up. If I ever want to piss her off now, I call her 'mammy'. But it's risky.
Don’t be a prick 😉 you know what happened to him!!
12 Monkeys
Just starting s2, the series is dense, in a good way but still.
