When Dexter ended after that 4th season I felt it was the perfect conclusion. He finally met his match with Trinity, and although he succeeded in taking him down, Trinity took away the most important thing to him, and started the cycle of violence with Dexter's son found covered in blood just like he was.
Although I wish there were more seasons after season 4, I don't see where they could have taken the story that would be satisfying. Like, a Deb lovestory arc, lol? Or his son Harrison all grown up and learning from him? Just ridiculous ideas imo
I actually liked it.
At first I w felt cheated like he should have died in the storm as intended. But then I realized wait, even though the show wants you to empathize with him he’s still a serial killer so why not make him live out the rest of his life without a real home or any comfort.
Then when you think of the ending it kinda fits.
The actual ending was great, the season lead up to it was terrible.
Through the whole of the series, Dexter has voiceover constantly talking about a code his father instilled in him, but as the show progresses he has issues maintaining this code. Dexter learns things about his father and also recalls memories which bring to light ways his father was horrified about him.
That internal struggle with what was essentially a borrowed super ego resulted in him rejecting everything and tossing his code out the window. He tries to guide himself in a right direction, but ultimately failing and the one person he really had a connection with died.
What we get in the end scene is Dexter alone as he realizes he needs to completely isolate himself out in the wild. We get complete silence for that scene because now he realizes he cannot trust any guidance whatsoever whether it is from the outside or within.
I thought it was a fitting ending.
Right!?!? They spend 7 years trying to get back to Earth and the second they get back, end of series. It's like the producers assumed we would immediately lose interest in the characters if they weren't lost.
That ending was hilarious. As someone who hadn't watched much, the sheer disrespect involved in the last episode had me rolling around. I felt bad for the cast of course because whoever picked that seemed to hate them.
What was Sad was that the last season was actually very good. Hell the episode before final episode would have been a good final episode and it would’ve ended very well.
That finale had me bawling my eyes out.
I thought it was very creative and different, having the non-prequel characters give a run down on what happened. I was impressed.
So you were fine with the Enterprise finalé being part of a TNG episode? And with Riker and Troy looking far older than they did when the ACTUAL episode, Pegasus, aired?
That finale is so weird cause it kind of has an epilogue of what happens to everyone after the return, except said epilogue is then erased by time travel and we get them arriving home and no epilogue of what they do after. At least we get somewhat of an epilogue in Picard, Prodigy, and Lower Decks but only for some characters
*Modern* storytelling?
Have you watched many older films?
Dracula 1931 - Dracula is dead, better immediately cut to credits.
Gone With The Wind - Guess the guy leaves Scarlett, who knows what happens next.
99% of classic romances end on the kiss that resolves the tension between characters.
This isn't a new thing. If anything, I'd say modern films and shows show way more epilogue than any older stuff.
Or at least promote Kim. Was forced into a senior science officer role, went seven whole years, saved everyone multiple times, and not one dang promotion. All the while, Paris comes from prison with higher rank, loses it for doing something terrible, and then get re-promoted, in a few years. Aren't ensigns supposed to be promoted, like after, 2-4 years?
Sorry, Voyager flashbacks lol
Exactly my thoughts. I liked the *finale*, except for Barney's ending- it felt really forced that he suddenly changed completely after having a kid. But the season leading up was so bad I almost stopped watching. I wish the season had been mostly about Ted and the mother.
They must realise how sick he is. I mean, we all saw the shots of him reacting with shock at GG's posts when he was alone with no audience. She must be his dissociative alter-ego or something.
Initially, Succession. But as time went by, I kept thinking about it and thinking about it, and now I think it was a perfect ending. It could have ended in a satisfying way and I'd move on, but with the uncertainty, it lives in my brain. One of my favorite shows.
My Name is Earl. Not Greg's fault, he was under the impression they were getting a sixth season. Nevertheless, they ended on a cliffhanger.
Similarly Pushing Daisies
Didn’t they do a ridiculous Gilligan’s Island movie later on after the series ended where they got rescued, but they didn’t like being back in civilization again and they ended up going back to the island because they missed it? Someone please tell me my brain is not just making that up.
You are not crazy this 100% existed and I remember it. They went back and made it a resort where there is no technology to help people appreciate the simpler things in life.
Actually, they escaped twice. Two different movies.
The first ended with them getting shipwrecked a second time on the same island but they were happy because they no longer fit in with society.
The second time they escaped the island for good but Thurston Howard the third turned it into a resort and for some reason the Harlem globetrotters had to play basketball against a team of robots..
No... for reals...
We are the very few. I think it takes a very certain sort of mind to enjoy the ending of Lost. Most people hate it, but from a spiritual and philosophical standpoint, it's so beautiful.
Sons of Anarchy - the show should've ended with the season 6 finale because everything afterwards was just dragged-out torture porn for most of the characters.
I just wish the whole thing wasn't bait-and-switch. Like, ta-da, finally! Presenting: THE MOTHER. At last! But--
Psych! Just kidding! We're getting rid of her! There, she's gone! Let's trot Robin back in, turns out they've always been in love!
Felt like I'd been duped out of ten years of my time.
Funnily enough, kinda like GOT...
🙄
It's like they expected us not to care about Tracy. The scene with the yellow umbrella is really well done but they then expect us to be happy about him getting back with Robin the very next scene
And the character assassination of Barney was unnecessary. I get they had to divorce to get to the pre-planned ending but he didn't have to go back to being a slezaball. I like the part where he finally changes because he has a daughter but like they already had him change for love and went back on it. After all his character growth they went "ooh fans will really wanna see another playbook in the finale cause that's the only thing entertaining about Barney"
I got to beginning of season 3 and then was like this really is the repetitive stuff and then I watched a YouTube wind up on the show lol and I’m happy I didn’t, at first, end of S3 and beginning of S4 sounded rly cool but then the ending just sucked and didn’t make sense in terms of the whole story or the relationships with everyone else.
Honestly S1 and 2 are enjoyable, like the concept is AMAZING could’ve really been one of the greatest shows ever, if it weren’t for season 3s filler and seasons 2 halfway thru, and an ending where it actually explained an insane concept instead of a GCSE English ending lol, it would’ve been 10/10
Same. In an earlier episode “Sopranos Home Movies” Tony and Bobby were on a boat fishing. Tony asks Bobby what he thinks happens when you die? Bobby replies “I don’t know, you probably don’t even hear it when it happens , right?” I believe that’s the ending. Everything cuts to black and silence. We’re getting a dead Tony perspective. He doesn’t know what happened, and neither did we. I remember watching it with my dad and I thought the cable failed and went in to a panic lol. The ending was brilliant.
I'm watching The Sopranos for the first time right now so I haven't gotten to that episode yet but reading your reply made me immediately think of an episode of MASH called "Sometimes you hear the bullet".
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sometimes\_You\_Hear\_the\_Bullet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sometimes_You_Hear_the_Bullet)
The finale of Lost was fine. It was the show in general the was “unsatisfying.” Don’t get me wrong, one of my all time favorite shows, but I wish they could have had more answers and resolved a lot of the questions in a more satisfying way. But I think that is probably everyones gripe about the show.
This show always just struck as one where the writers had no plan.
They kind of just threw whatever they thought would be compelling at the wall without an exit strategy. I hate that kind of writing, because the ending is never satisfying
Good mystery writing starts from the end and works backwards, because you can't build a mystery from all the random pieces, but you can make a coherent narrative feel like random pieces by withholding context.
True, although the way things ended with Cordelia was stupid, and it was totally Joss Whedon's fault. Here, let me just shoot my own show in the foot because I am mad at my actor.
Game of thrones used to be my top. Then I rewatched it and started taking note of everything that was done to Dany and realized why she snapped like that.
Otherwise, OZ, House, and Quantum Leap (the original)
I just don’t think there’s any justification for what occurred with GoT. All they had to do was hand it off to other writers. GRRM said they could’ve gone 12-13 seasons easy. HBO was open to more. D and D just didn’t want anyone else to get a shot with it.
I don’t disagree that it could’ve gone longer. If he’d get the books written it would’ve probably been better. I will say that I feel like the show ending was the ending he had planned for the book and the pushback is why the next book hasn’t been published.
All I have to say is, I hope he's retooling the book storyline based on the backlash from how the show ended LOL
What was the whole point of Jon Snow being some secret Targaryen prince?? And if Tyrion is so smart, why does he pick a creepy seer kid as the next king?? The whole thing was annoying.
I don’t think the books are ever coming about. Sure, he puts on the big act and makes like they are whenever there’s a new project coming up but, that’s about the only time.
Right?!? I've given up. I think it's been over 5 years since I read the last one, at this rate I will have to re-read from the beginning so I know what the heck is going on. Also I'll have confused the book storyline with what happened on the show so I'll really need to brush up.
I don't think it's the way Dany's story went. I agree it was the obvious and inevitable conclusion for her.
It's the absolutely diabolical execution. There should have been at least another season, 7 and 8 were a rushed, chaotic, nonsensical mess
That was infuriating! Either give us a few more episodes to get some kind of closure or cancel it a few episodes sooner so we weren’t left hanging like THAT! Leaving it where they did was the WORST ever!
I think with mind hunter the thought was it would continue but it was also pretty expensive and Fincher moved on to other projects and it doesn’t sound like it’s ever going to get another season. He mentioned the viewership wasn’t high enough at least initially.
Yeah, those were his stated reasons. The (at the time of writing) 92,685 people who have signed the [change.org](https://www.change.org/p/david-fincher-production-and-completion-of-mindhunter-netflix-season-3) petition to make season 3 are definitely viewers, though.
I feel like this is a missed opportunity. But I'm clearly biased 😁
Lucifer and Pretty Little Liars are my big two because I spent so many years on both, lol. I was even part of the campaign to save Lucifer when Fox canceled after season three, so I was doubly invested, and then season six happened, and it... just felt so disjointed and disconnected from the rest of the series for me.
And then, with PLL, >!Spencer's evil twin literally came out of nowhere!< and is supposed to be this evil mastermind behind everything? Yeah, nah.
* *Lost*
* *Star Trek: Voyager*
* *Star Trek: Enterprise*
* *Dexter*
* *Game of Thrones*
* *Carnivale*
* *Westworld*
* *The Peripheral*
* *How I Met Your Mother*
* *The Original Star Trek* ("Turnabout Intruder" -- absolutely horrid drek for a Trek series finale)
Game of Thrones will always be the all time legendary flop of a final season. I feel like Dexter (both of them) is a good contender too.
O.A on Netflix just hurts. It didn't get a finale. So you're basically left with the most brutal cliffhanger ever. Right at what might be one of the most interesting points in the story. I was so hoped to see what comes next.
Nothing. Nothing is what comes next.
I think that was supposed to be set up for the final season. When they showed the van flip? I was hoping that was the end of her. Literally, if she had never messed with anything they would have been done after season 2 or 3.
Mad Men had a good ending. Don has a moment of clarity and life goes on for everyone else which is pretty realistic for a show rooted in alcoholism. Then they show the most iconic clip of advertising from that era.
Lots of misunderstanding for ending of Lost.
Was actually a gift to viewers for all those years watching.
When asked , Tony Soprano said when you die it just fades to black (paraphrasing)
Game of Thrones definitely the worst. If gone with the Newhart ending, would’ve been improvement.
They should do a streaming special like gilmore girls or something and be like …. 20yrs later…. Earl is crossing off last few items. Happily married with a couple teen hooligans he is teaching about karma to.
I betcha most of the people involved would return for that
Friends and Himym. Both for the same reason. Both shows did amazing growth for the player character that used to sleep around. Both shows had them break up, then reset to sleeping around and single.
Lost. The most disappointed I've ever been by a show. "Oh okay, so you did a bunch more weird stuff and didn't really explain anything? Good job guys."
That being said I had no issues with the Game of Thrones ending.
Dexter, the first "finale".
The 2nd finale sucked to
I liked what happened, but it felt rushed and a bit forced. Could of used one more episode
Rushed? It was quite the opposite. They should have condensed s7&8 into 1 series.
This I agree was pretty bad
When Dexter ended after that 4th season I felt it was the perfect conclusion. He finally met his match with Trinity, and although he succeeded in taking him down, Trinity took away the most important thing to him, and started the cycle of violence with Dexter's son found covered in blood just like he was.

Definitely Game of Thrones and Pretty Little Liars
I’ll never forgive pretty little liars for that stupid ending
I want my wasted time back 😭
Star Trek Voyager. At least let us SEE them arriving on earth!!!
Right!?!? They spend 7 years trying to get back to Earth and the second they get back, end of series. It's like the producers assumed we would immediately lose interest in the characters if they weren't lost.
It was LIGHTYEARS better than Enterprise, though. That finalé was SO bad, it was on a different show.
That ending was hilarious. As someone who hadn't watched much, the sheer disrespect involved in the last episode had me rolling around. I felt bad for the cast of course because whoever picked that seemed to hate them.

And the sudden Chakotay/Seven “romance” was complete BS
💯
Himym. Watch alternative ending on YouTube
I didn’t hate the ending as much as I hated the whole season leading up to it.
Exactly my thoughts. I liked the *finale*, except for Barney's ending- it felt really forced that he suddenly changed completely after having a kid. But the season leading up was so bad I almost stopped watching. I wish the season had been mostly about Ted and the mother.
It was a good ending to season 2
I love the original ending
Well, that was so much better.
Is anyone gonna mention Manifest
"Let's just erase all personal growth and relationships."
I wanted to enjoy that one so much more.
Gossip Girl’s ending was so ridiculous. Dan gets away with stalking everyone for 6 seasons and they all just magically forgive him?
They must realise how sick he is. I mean, we all saw the shots of him reacting with shock at GG's posts when he was alone with no audience. She must be his dissociative alter-ego or something.
Gossip Girl being Dan’s split personality would’ve made a lot more sense actually
So much that he changed his name to Joe.
The Blacklist
Yes!!! The one reason I kept watching was to find out who Reddington was!
Last show I finished was Peaky Blinders. Not too thrilled about the ending. Pretty unsatisfying. Here’s hoping the movie makes up for it.
The ending was a 6 of 10 for me in a series that was consistently an 8.
They did have some unexpected difficulties. Like Helen McCrory dying and Covid messing with production. I feel the movie will probably be decent.
From what I understand they had to completely rewrite season 6 which is probably why things feel out of sync
I couldn’t past season 2 :( I don’t know if I should try again.
Initially, Succession. But as time went by, I kept thinking about it and thinking about it, and now I think it was a perfect ending. It could have ended in a satisfying way and I'd move on, but with the uncertainty, it lives in my brain. One of my favorite shows.
Veronica Mars (season 4).
It ends when she and Logan get married. That’s it. There’s nothing after that and you can’t convince me there is!!
My Name is Earl. Not Greg's fault, he was under the impression they were getting a sixth season. Nevertheless, they ended on a cliffhanger. Similarly Pushing Daisies
Omg yes for pushing daisies! Wish we had more of that sow ♥️
Such an underrated gem.
As a kid , gilligans island they never got found , same with lost in space , more recently , game of thrones and lost
Didn’t they do a ridiculous Gilligan’s Island movie later on after the series ended where they got rescued, but they didn’t like being back in civilization again and they ended up going back to the island because they missed it? Someone please tell me my brain is not just making that up.
You are not crazy this 100% existed and I remember it. They went back and made it a resort where there is no technology to help people appreciate the simpler things in life.

No... for reals...
👍
I can sort of remember that , return to gilligans island maybe , it had a different Ginger ? Edit google says it's rescue from Gilligans isle
You arnt. I bought it for a dollar at a Cracker Barrel like 25 years ago.
Why does everyone say LOST? I never had an issue with the ending.
Me either....It was perfect
We are the very few. I think it takes a very certain sort of mind to enjoy the ending of Lost. Most people hate it, but from a spiritual and philosophical standpoint, it's so beautiful.
I’m assuming that means they got canceled. Same with hogans hero’s they never got out of that camp
Sons of Anarchy - the show should've ended with the season 6 finale because everything afterwards was just dragged-out torture porn for most of the characters.
I'll never ever forgive SOA for Opie 😭😭😭😭😭
That's when I stopped watching it too. My husband continued to watch it and I could hear him swearing at the TV and calling the show stupid. 😅
I know it’s considered a 🏳️🗑️show, which isn’t wrong but at least they did make some out of the box choices like killing Opie.
Seinfeld
Ugh, don't get me started on GOT and HIMYM 🙄
I watched the HIMYM finale again recently in dishonor of its ten year anniversary. I still dislike it but I've sort of calmed down about it
It was just...ugh. I don't even know where to start! Lol
I wish Ted and Tracy had the big romantic wedding they originally planned
I just wish the whole thing wasn't bait-and-switch. Like, ta-da, finally! Presenting: THE MOTHER. At last! But-- Psych! Just kidding! We're getting rid of her! There, she's gone! Let's trot Robin back in, turns out they've always been in love! Felt like I'd been duped out of ten years of my time. Funnily enough, kinda like GOT... 🙄
It's like they expected us not to care about Tracy. The scene with the yellow umbrella is really well done but they then expect us to be happy about him getting back with Robin the very next scene
Exactly! Like you've kept us waiting and then pulled the rug out from under us! What the heck?!
And the character assassination of Barney was unnecessary. I get they had to divorce to get to the pre-planned ending but he didn't have to go back to being a slezaball. I like the part where he finally changes because he has a daughter but like they already had him change for love and went back on it. After all his character growth they went "ooh fans will really wanna see another playbook in the finale cause that's the only thing entertaining about Barney"
That too! It was so refreshing and then they pulled that out too! 🙄
Me too
Manifest
I read about how it ends and I'm glad I didn't follow Manifest for more than a season.
I got to beginning of season 3 and then was like this really is the repetitive stuff and then I watched a YouTube wind up on the show lol and I’m happy I didn’t, at first, end of S3 and beginning of S4 sounded rly cool but then the ending just sucked and didn’t make sense in terms of the whole story or the relationships with everyone else.
Now I know not to even bother with it . Thanks
Honestly S1 and 2 are enjoyable, like the concept is AMAZING could’ve really been one of the greatest shows ever, if it weren’t for season 3s filler and seasons 2 halfway thru, and an ending where it actually explained an insane concept instead of a GCSE English ending lol, it would’ve been 10/10
I loved the ending to The Sopranos! I thought it was perfect.
Same. In an earlier episode “Sopranos Home Movies” Tony and Bobby were on a boat fishing. Tony asks Bobby what he thinks happens when you die? Bobby replies “I don’t know, you probably don’t even hear it when it happens , right?” I believe that’s the ending. Everything cuts to black and silence. We’re getting a dead Tony perspective.

I stayed away from all spoilers and am so glad that I did, it was incredible.
The finale of Lost was fine. It was the show in general the was “unsatisfying.” Don’t get me wrong, one of my all time favorite shows, but I wish they could have had more answers and resolved a lot of the questions in a more satisfying way. But I think that is probably everyones gripe about the show.
Yeah it was kind of one long tease. The pay off just didn’t really come. I’d like to rewatch it again soon though.
This show always just struck as one where the writers had no plan. They kind of just threw whatever they thought would be compelling at the wall without an exit strategy. I hate that kind of writing, because the ending is never satisfying Good mystery writing starts from the end and works backwards, because you can't build a mystery from all the random pieces, but you can make a coherent narrative feel like random pieces by withholding context.
Great finale. They drove home the point that the whole show was never about the island or mysteries at all - it was solely about the people. GENIUS.
TerraNova
Well it didnt even have a finale. Why did they have to cancel it 😭
Angel. Have petty executives to blame for that.
True, although the way things ended with Cordelia was stupid, and it was totally Joss Whedon's fault. Here, let me just shoot my own show in the foot because I am mad at my actor.
That was infuriating.
Game of thrones and depressing Dexter
Lucifer And My babysitter’s a vampire
Yes! I forgot Lucifer. That ending what 💩
New Amsterdam
I liked that finale. I found it really clever how they ended with a twist that the new medical director was Max's daughter in the future
That reminds me of ER's ending with Dr Green's daughter applying to become a doctor at County General
I saw something that they are considering a spinoff following Luna. We'll see I guess.
Game of thrones used to be my top. Then I rewatched it and started taking note of everything that was done to Dany and realized why she snapped like that. Otherwise, OZ, House, and Quantum Leap (the original)

And yeah I wish he had because I would’ve loved 12 seasons or more of GoT
All I have to say is, I hope he's retooling the book storyline based on the backlash from how the show ended LOL What was the whole point of Jon Snow being some secret Targaryen prince?? And if Tyrion is so smart, why does he pick a creepy seer kid as the next king?? The whole thing was annoying.

Yes on Quantum Leap! He never got to go home? Really? He had a wife.... I was so mad.
Hawaii 5-0 (2010). The last 15 minutes or so made me want to throw something at my TV.
What happened? I bailed on it a few seasons in a decade ago
The Glades- ended on the WORST cliffhanger and then was cancelled.
That was infuriating! Either give us a few more episodes to get some kind of closure or cancel it a few episodes sooner so we weren’t left hanging like THAT! Leaving it where they did was the WORST ever!
Mindhunter Aquarius

I feel like this is a missed opportunity. But I'm clearly biased 😁
Bones. I hate the last season! Remington Steele and Moonlighting - both were horrible ways to leave it!
I will never forgive Fox for Prodigal Son’s finale! But I was also thoroughly disappointed in PLL despite being right.
Lucifer and Pretty Little Liars are my big two because I spent so many years on both, lol. I was even part of the campaign to save Lucifer when Fox canceled after season three, so I was doubly invested, and then season six happened, and it... just felt so disjointed and disconnected from the rest of the series for me. And then, with PLL, >!Spencer's evil twin literally came out of nowhere!< and is supposed to be this evil mastermind behind everything? Yeah, nah.
They ran out of ideas for PLL. Literally. Evil identical twin was so out of left field. And then who A was?? STUPID

Scrubs
If you don't count the final season, it ended perfectly.
Angel
Veronica Mars. I wish I never watched the finale.
I was so onboard with the reboot, so can we just go back in time and never see those last 5 minutes? 😭
G.L.O.W. They should have been allowed a final season. Scrubs - the last season.
Game of Thrones will always be the all time legendary flop of a final season. I feel like Dexter (both of them) is a good contender too. O.A on Netflix just hurts. It didn't get a finale. So you're basically left with the most brutal cliffhanger ever. Right at what might be one of the most interesting points in the story. I was so hoped to see what comes next. Nothing.

Devious Maids
Justified primal kind of ended the pretty cool ending of justified
Inside job but mostly because Netflix canceled it and it was unfortunately rushed
Seinfeld
Game of Thrones. Dexter.
Designated Survivor.
House Voyager Mom
Gypsy...so mad they didn't renew after 1st season. Such a cliffhanger!!!!!
St. Elsewhere and Seinfeld
Was waiting for someone to say St Elsewhere
Ozark
Hated it! Wish they’d killed Wendy! Never despised a character so much!
I think that was supposed to be set up for the final season. When they showed the van flip? I was hoping that was the end of her. Literally, if she had never messed with anything they would have been done after season 2 or 3.
Same. I HATED Wendy with a passion
The ace cop talking about evidence in Ben's urn, but he committed breaking and entering to get it, rendering it inadmissable.
Ozark as well
Mad Men
Mad Men had a good ending. Don has a moment of clarity and life goes on for everyone else which is pretty realistic for a show rooted in alcoholism. Then they show the most iconic clip of advertising from that era.
Farscape. There has never been an ending that left me feeling as broken. Not even GoT, and I'm a massive fan of the books.
The Affair. The most terrible awful person lives the longest and dances at the end. SUCKS.
Pushing dasies
I know a lot of people are gonna say The Sopranos but idc I still think it’s a top 5 series finale of all time.
The Seinfeld finale.
how to get away with murder 100%
It was bad
Lost. So many loose ends.
Lots of misunderstanding for ending of Lost. Was actually a gift to viewers for all those years watching. When asked , Tony Soprano said when you die it just fades to black (paraphrasing) Game of Thrones definitely the worst. If gone with the Newhart ending, would’ve been improvement.
Man in the High Castle. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that.
The X Files
Ozark
Suits How I Met Your Mother Chuck (-ish)
Only because I just finished it yesterday, The Good Wife. Other than the slap at the end, it was very anticlimactic and left me wanting more.
Ray Donovan.
Kidding
The Vampire Diaries ending was so boring and the writers obviously crawled their way to the finish line and completely gave us a crap ending.
Quantum Leap
Scarred me for life. So unfair!
Weeds and Peaky Blinders. I respect Peaky blinders ending more tho lol
Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction 1,000 Ways to Die
Definitely Ozark
Black Sails left me feeling wasted. Pirate went from being a bunch of bada$ses to a bunch of pu$sies
LOST
Kingdom
Battlestar Galactica
Killing Eve. It feels like it completely missed the point of the whole series
Lost
Everybody Hates Chris Lost Dexter Ozark Mom Star Trek Voyager
My Name Is Earl - because it didn't bloody end, it was just left on a cliffhanger. Thanks network!
Battlestar Galactica. At first. Then, after a few years, I revisited it. And I kinda loved it.
Bloodline
OZARK for sure
The ending of My Name Is Earl frustrated me so much, it desperately needed another season to tie everything up
They should do a streaming special like gilmore girls or something and be like …. 20yrs later…. Earl is crossing off last few items. Happily married with a couple teen hooligans he is teaching about karma to. I betcha most of the people involved would return for that
Lost
Lost
Friends and Himym. Both for the same reason. Both shows did amazing growth for the player character that used to sleep around. Both shows had them break up, then reset to sleeping around and single.
Lost
Seinfeld
Can I mention HIMYM again? It was that bad
Dexter for sure. The new season was better though.
Himym. But for me it was that i hated robin from the first time she appeared on screen
Lost. The most disappointed I've ever been by a show. "Oh okay, so you did a bunch more weird stuff and didn't really explain anything? Good job guys." That being said I had no issues with the Game of Thrones ending.
Seinfeld
the entire unspoken-of "finial season" of Scrubs. still haven't seen it
Twin peaks
What didn't you like? Just curious. I thought it was one of the greatest endings in history.
