Endings are hard. Just look at any beloved TV series from the past decade. The Game of Thrones finale was so polarizing it demolished the show’s legacy. Dexter’s was so dissatisfying it was brushed under the rug in favor of a new (equally forgotten) ending. And How I Met Your Mother was so infuriating it made people question whether the show was any good to begin with. Then there are the Lost and the Soprano kind of endings, ones that offer a question mark or an answer audiences didn’t necessarily want to hear. It’s rare that a TV show will deliver the perfect ending — especially one that isn’t too schmaltzy or too perplexing or too dissatisfying.
