Here comes the definition of the very bitter end.
It’s always painful to say goodbye to your favorite series, and this pain goes x100 if showrunners manage to maintain the high quality right until the very finale.
Sometimes the last episode of a show can hit you the hardest, much worse than the rest of it.
Here are 5 shows with the most heart-wrenching endings, picked by Reddit.
The Good Place ( 2016 - 2020) - Whenever You’re Ready
The finale of this fantasy-comedy hit show did it all: it gave closure to all the main characters’ arcs, as well as to the whole story. It didn’t cheat its audience and ended just like it was always supposed to end, leaving the unbearable feeling of the lightness of being behind it. Still, hurts to this day.
Six Feet Under (2001 - 2005) - Everyone's Waiting
“The finale being so damn amazing keeps me from rewatching it. I don't think I can handle that twice,” says Redditor @pm_me_your_last_pics.
Indeed, this drama’s iconic ending is excruciatingly beautiful, with its perfect use of the flash-forward technique.
Lost (2004 - 2010) - The End
The favorite show of the millennials wrapped up saying its characters a proper goodbye and giving them a happy ending in the afterlife that polarized the fandom. However, it was undoubtedly a great way to end the series’ leitmotif related to science vs. faith.
Better Call Saul ( 2015 - 2022) - Saul Gone
Breaking Bad ’s spin-off shows us how Jimmy McGill accepts the consequences of his actions and eventually does the right thing. The main key to the wholesomeness of this finale is truly Bob Odenkirk, who fully conveyed the emotional toll of his character’s choices.
The Americans (2013 - 2018) - START
“Perfect episode, a couple of perfect scenes, and a perfect finale to a great show,” concludes @H2Oloo-Sunset.
Yes, the ending of this spy drama not only matched the show’s tone, but also presented the audience an emotional roller coaster of an episode.
