Great last episodes
Discussion
Following on from the 'Good till the end' thread.
I watched the last Big Bang Theory at the weekend, and will be watching the last Game of Thrones tonight. I've avoided all spoilers, but I have read reviews have been 'mixed', which is usually polite for "fans didn't like it".
I think it's always hard to end a good series well, as Steven King just tweeted, words to the effect of, it's hard to end a good series, because however good it is, fans don't really want it to end.
It seems to me that most TV series hang around a series or two, too long and by the end we're just glad they have ended, some get cancelled too early or worse between series, some have built up so much hype over the years that it could only ever been an anti-climax and some, don't so much end, as stop, either they couldn't come up with something great, or were hoping they might get a last minute extra series.
The only series that springs to mind that ended well is The Wire, all loose ends tided up, plus this sudden realisation that despite all the drama over the past 6 years, life just carries on, as f
ked up as it ever was as if it never happened.
