RumHam Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I'm not crying but I was just curious what finales hit hardest for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Hmm B5 but because of the weird way the last season went on the episode while it was shown as the last episode it was actually filmed in season four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 What's making you "not cry"? Off the top of my head, the end of Breaking Bad, Arcane season 1, Rome, DS9... It's been a while since I've seen The Leftovers, but then that show also had a lot of emotional moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Babylon 5's finale was good but a lot of Season 5 was pap, so that did kind of take the emotional edge off it. DS9 I think had a more emotionally satisfying conclusion, especially the montage (montages are cheesy but effective if well-executed). I found The Wire's ending quite powerful, for both saying goodbye to the characters but also the montage of the city, and the message that a bunch of people, even if quite well-meaning, down the food chain may be totally unable to fight the system without a much greater systemic change above them. That could be depressing but Simon layered in the message that good people in the right place can still make things better, even if briefly and in a limited way. Blackadder has been noted. That final moment is desperately tragic, and it aired early enough (1989) that there were still a few WWI veterans around who were quite moved by it.

Ran Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Babylon 5, for sure; Christopher Franke's score was gorgeous and still makes me emotional when I hear it. And there's an added poignancy when watching its final minutes: In the first thirty seconds, we see six actors. Only one of them -- Claudia Christian -- is still with us. I'm not sure any TV series has had so much attrition in its cast who've died before what most would think to be their time. Blackadder was heartbreaking. The Leftovers was amazing. So was Six Feet Under. I thought The Deuce had a great, sad ending as an elderly Vinnie sees the ghosts of all of those who had died. M*A*S*H's is one of the most brutal and heartbreaking finales ever (spoilers for those interested.) And Dinosaurs, too, actually.The Americans was also quite sad. It's a miniseries, but It's a Sin is an incredible show, and is incredibly poignant in its finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I’m floored no one has mentioned The Good Place. Its finale was pitch perfect. The ultimate bittersweet ending that encapsulates the difficulties of human existence and philosophical introspection. I absolutely loved how it refused to look away from the incredibly hard questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindwalker Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Six Feet Under, of course. I had been sort of spoiled to it (was watching the show years after it had aired), but it still hit me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Yeah, Spartacus is a good one. I haven't seen some of these so I can't comment, but I'll see your Six Feet Under and raise you M.A.S.H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
