Last ever series of TV
 

So the general consensus of game of thrones was that the last ever series was bad. There were only 6 episodes maybe 7 I can't remember as I don't like to reflect on that series... Because they wanted to make it all big and look spectacular and yes it was pretty impressive to look at but it didnt wow me as much as a powerful storyline and a powerful ending would have wowed me. I was very disappointed and it kind of changed my outlook on game of thrones as a whole even though I know a lot of it had amazing storytelling

So its got me thinking, other shows that have ended have you been left utterly disappointed with how they ended and did it change your view on the whole show overall

Which shows could have had better last ever series or last ever episode and how would you have ended them

Remember if there are spoilers to be careful

One show that did end recently and I was satisfied with the ending and it was treated with a lot of respect was the big bang theory

How I Met Your Mother

HATED the HIMYM ending so much, still do

Lost - that final season was all kinds of awful.

Yeah the how I met your mother one was crap

But I wasn't that keen on that show really I watched all of it and I laughed here and there but overall it wasn't great

Stopped watching that as soon as it changed channels was it like after the first or second series but I heard how it end and it sounds as if the ideas they had on the very first series didn't match what had actually has meant to go on at the end

Penny Dreadful's final episode was bizarre in that it wasn't promoted as such and seemed so rushed and out of nowhere. Stranger considering it ending was the design of the showrunner rather than cancellation. It wasn't a bad ending in itself but how and when it all went down was rushed and underwhelming.

12 Monkeys had a BRILLIANT final season (and final episode for the most part) but I feel like the very last sequence wasn't needed. Didn't ruin the ending but it would have been even stronger if they ended without (I'll tag as if anyone other than me and Niamh on here will ever watch it lol) Bittersweet endings are always better than perfectly happy ones imo, especially when logic is stretched a little to accommodate it.

Still one of the best and most underrated TV shows of all time though :blush:

She's exaggerating, your honor

Oh another one I was disappointed with was 90210. The most recent one with Annie etc

Absolutely loved the show but it got axed out of nowhere do they had to quickly make an ending but it was pants and naomi should have been with max in the end

I enjoyed 90210 until the 4th season. I just stopped watching and never bothered to finish it. I hate it when shows get axed and they have to rush finales.

Dexter was my all time favourite show but they absolutely ruined it with the ending. . .it was bizarre.

I quite liked the last season of GOTs but it was far too rushed

Friends was quite a good ending I suppose but I was heartbroken at the time

Desperate housewives I think could have ended better but one scene that particularly bugs me is

Is dexter worth a watch then I've never seen it but I remember my dad and sister loving it so I might try and get the boxset on sky. Still haven't seen breaking bad or sons of anarchy and everyone I know goes on about them

I think the ideas matched, it was just the way it unfolded wasn't very good.

Yes it's still worth watching, I loved it, I just try to erase the last season from my mind [emoji23]

Breaking Bad is amazing and I was really happy with ending

Sons of Anarchy is good at the start but it gets worse and worse and cheesier and cheesier

Lostie re 12 Monkeys, that was one of my favourite endings :love:

Another of my favourite endings was Six Feet Under

Six Feet Under's ending was bloody bizarre, beautiful and frigging depressing. :laugh:

GoT
Dexter
Lost
One Tree Hill when it FIRST ended at the end of S8, but then they brought it back for a 13-ep S9 that I really enjoyed :joker:
The OC
Pretty Little Liars
Stargate Atlantis
Angel ending on a cliffhanger; I actually really liked S5 and the final episode would have been great, had there been an S6.

The list goes on to be honest. It would be quicker to list shows that I think *did* end well.

Do you watch the walking dead? Fantastic at the start it dipped during the I am negan couple of series but the most recent series was brilliant. I hope when that ends(which I hope won't be for years) that it will have a good ending

Oh I loved the oc but how did it end I can't remember.

I actually think the final season overall might be the best season. I just wish the last episode ended a few minutes earlier :laugh:

I didn't know you watched that :laugh: But yeah completely agree. I was stupid enough to think they might have actually took heed of the backlash to the A reveal and had a more satisfactory AD.

On top of that they had the GALL to have a fake reveal for the character I wanted to be AD. I was fuming :joker:

Yes I watch twd and I agree with you, I almost stopped watching but last season was great

Big brother.

and then S4 was utter trash and it got cancelled.

Yeah I don’t know why they put her with some random who was in about 5 episodes. Liam & Naomi:love:

I loved Dexter too and the final season was just so wrong. Wasn't overly impressed with the last season of Breaking Bad either

I have a slightly different take on series that end badly. So many just go on too long that I really don't care how things end as I have given up on them. It's the mark of a good show when you are left unsatisfied at the end.
