Star Trek The Next Generation has one of the best, if not the best, finale to an ongoing episodic tv series ever. I don’t want to compare it to the kind of shows that are just one big story split up into hour long chunks, because that’s a totally different style of show and many have good endings. But for shows that are mostly separate, TNG did it better than any show I can think of.

It did a fair, but not gratuitous amount of fan service, and it was all in service of the actual plot. And it still somehow felt like a good episode of the show. But it also perfectly bookended the show back with the very first episode of the show. It was as close to perfect as you can get.

So, five-card stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit.

Marvellous finale.

Man this quote is just so good.

I mean, The Wire was virtually perfect TV. Everything about it was good.

Justified.

Fringe (I like season 5, sue me).

Farscape (the miniseries has some bumps but the actual end is solid).

In a couple months I hope to be able to say The Venture Bros. 🤞

[-] Kingofthezyx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Fringe is an absolute masterpiece beginning to end and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. NO NOTES.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It was uneven, but s2 and s3 were incredible pieces of television, and I even loved s1.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Amen on all.

The last few episodes of farscape were incredible, need to get a clean copy and Starr again.

Midnight Mass. Only 1 season but truly amazing.

Satisfying and tear-inducing. I know people that still tear up to this day when they hear the ending song. Great show.

Justified. Fringe. Person of interest.

Better Call Saul

Sopranos

Mad Men

Quantum Leap (original series)

Star Trek TNG

[-] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 year ago

The ending of Quantum Leap was not supposed to be the final episode, they changed Al's destiny and added a text over a back background. That qualifies as a "good finale"?

[-] DuckGuy@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

Cowboy Bebop (the anime, obviously.) You're gonna carry that weight.

[-] Crunchypotat77@vlemmy.net 7 points 1 year ago

House MD.

Person of interest (even though the series was cut short)

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I loved Person of Interest!

LOST

The Americans

The Leftovers

Mr. Robot

[-] whatsarefoogee@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Lost

Surely you're joking.

[-] CrustyJuggler@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely not! I love the ending and don’t understand the hate it gets.

[-] MrDetermination@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I loved Alias. Super 8. MI3. Star Trek. But JJ rode the "magic box" thing a little too hard in phase 2 of his career there. I like a lot of what Lost had to offer but that last season was a real cop out. For the most part, instead of answering questions from the series they just made up new questions in the last season and answered some of those. It was some real hand waving BS.

[-] dbaner@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

JJ had very little to do with Lost after the first half season. He just helped set up some of the initial mysteries and left it to Lindelof to try and sort out the resolution. Lindelof went on to do some amazing series... the Leftovers and Mrs Davis both have good (although somewhat ambiguous) endings

[-] cold@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

a lot of people hated it but i personally liked How I met your mothers end

[-] Kingofthezyx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No, I totally agree! A standard "happily ever after" would have been so boring. The ending we got gave context to why Ted was sharing the story with his kids. I was "surprised" at first, but really I think if people consider how the alternatives they wanted would have played out, it wouldn't have been meaningful.

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I would like to participate in this thread, but I'm too big a fan of unsatisfying endings...

[-] Redoomed@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just starting s2, the series is dense, in a good way but still.

[-] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago
[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Claes Bang was the MVP of that show. The performances were all great, but he was just so perfectly 'the prick' that the entire show held together. If he hadn't nailed that character we'd have felt a whole lot more shitty about cheering on attempted murder.

[-] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

100%. What a prick indeed. He is an amazing actor.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Every time he called Grace 'mammy' my wife clenched up. If I ever want to piss her off now, I call her 'mammy'. But it's risky.

[-] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Don’t be a prick 😉 you know what happened to him!!
