I think the ending is a good one.

One Tree Hill

Spoiler:

I half wish it had ended after the cast graduated high school but after it went on we got crazy nanny Carrie and Alex. Brooke held the show together and it ended on a high with Brooke finally finding true happiness.

Friends

Spoiler:

Perfect ending!

BAD

Angel

Agree with a few of these. The Buffy ending was perfect after it was almost prematurely ended at Season 5 (which would have been an AWFUL ending). I cried tbh. I cry every time I watch it. Buffy was a huge part of my teens

One Tree Hill went really sappy / bubblegum for YEARS after the highschool years and was like a totally different show... and then it reappeared for that 13-ep final series and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Classic OTH .

Spoiler:

Dan going full on "Taken" and rampaging through the gangsters armed to the teeth to save Nathan... with Chris Keller as his sidekick, straight up murdering a goon by crushing him with a car . Brilliant.

Angel's ending was a disaster. Up there for "worst ever", along with The 4400 and Stargate Atlantis. They tried to explain it away as being supposed to represent the "never ending fight" but in reality, it simply ends on a massive cliffhanger, and the existence of a follow-up comic doesn't soften the blow. In fact it only makes it worse because the premise (that the whole of Los Angeles has been sucked into hell) would have made an amazing "real" Season 6 . To make matters worse... I recently read that the whole thing was over a hissy-fit. The network intended to renew for Season 6, but the creators asked if there was a possibility of securing an early renewal (rather than waiting until half way through the season) for security for the cast and crew... and some network exec thought they were being "smug". had a tantrum, and cancelled the show. They later thought it was a mistake and wanted to bring it back, but Boreanaz had already been picked up for "Bones" and most of the writers had started new projects too. Rage.
