TV shows with endings that live up to expectation (no spoilers) 15:02 - Oct 1 with 11929 viewsJ2BLUE

Please don't post any spoilers for the shows

I'm tired of watching tv shows where the ending is a disappointment (Fortitude, GOT, Lost etc etc). The endings always feel rushed and lacking any real conclusion.

Please name some decent shows where the ending is worth the wait and the investment of watching several series.

Cheers

I loved it. Even the final season. Just the last episode I hated. Can't violate the no spoilers request but it was just ended in the worst way possible. Made zero sense.



Cheers all, i'll have a look at some of your ideas.


The main problem with the ending of GoT was it was too rushed. Certain character beats would have worked a lot, lot better with a bit more time to breathe.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

I thought the last episode of Twin Peaks tied up all the loose ends.


It was almost too neatly rounded up.

Six Feet Under is said to have had one of the best endings of any series. I personally liked Mad Men too.


Agreed! It’s almost the perfect ending.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the single best show that has aired in the last 10 years.

SUCCESSION. Two series so far, lots of twists and turns and superbly written. Great dynamic between the family and the business issues.

The last episode of Bodyguard a couple of years ago was the best bit of TV I've ever seen.

Breaking Bad
Mr Robot
Man in the High Castle

All had an ending that did the preceding seasons justice.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Maybe because it hasn’t ended?!

I liked Justified but blowed if I can remember the ending.

I might give that a rerun sometime if there's not much else around.

I liked Longmire, though I realise it's hardly up there with the greats and doesn't seem to be popular. I still haven't found the last series yet.

Noted...... although each series is a dramatic ending in itself.

Breaking Bad.

Any of the Fargo series. Watch the film first. Series 1 and 2 are brilliant, Series 3 slightly more difficult watch but really stays with you. Each series is set in the same geographical area as the film, and with similar themes, but in different eras, with a few call-backs which show that, although distinct, they are in the same "universe". Because each series is a self-contained story it means they have a proper narrative arc and resolution.

Seconding Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, and my wife is seconding Mad Men.

I know what you mean about the cliched endings, though. Got to the end of Suits and they did the whole "and then she married a Prince" thing in a bizarre live broadcast, with all sorts of celeb cameos. Weird.


For me the Fargo series is one of the most underrated shows ever made. I absolutely love them, so well written.
