The Good Place
Oh god yes. So good that it’ll be hard for me to watch again
Take it sleazy.
Breaking bad.
And better call Saul
Dark
Futurama. It has at least 3 very satisfying endings.

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.
DS9 was better.
DS9 turned into an ongoing story that was just broken up into hour long chunks though. So it’s ending isn’t really comparable to TNG that stayed episodic all the way through.
Only at the very end, and the beginning of S6. Other than those, it was still an episodic show with each episode telling its own story against the backdrop of the war.
Yes at the final seasons and the final episode is part of that.
- Black Sails
- Killjoys
- Psych
- Leverage
- In Plain Sight
- Burn Notice
- Ash Vs Evil Dead
- Black Lightning
- Cloak and Dagger
- The Man in the High Castle
- Undone
Six Feet Under
Satisfying and tear-inducing. I know people that still tear up to this day when they hear the ending song. Great show.
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. 🤞
Better Call Saul
Sopranos
Mad Men
Quantum Leap (original series)
Star Trek TNG
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”?
Midnight Mass. Only 1 season but truly amazing.
Succession
Avatar the Last Airbender
Justified. Fringe. Person of interest.
Just watched the first episode of Justified and it was ok but not phenomenal. I’ve seen so many recommendations for the show - when does it hit the sweet spot that makes you say “Ooh yes, this is goooood?”
Last episode of s1 is incredible, then s2e1 absolutely takes it home.
S2 on the whole is a masterpiece, anchored by beloved character actress Margo Martendale.
Last episode of s1 is incredible
Do I really have to watch the whole of the first series before it becomes obvious that it’s good?
Justified is all about the amazing characters more than the story. Which is pretty much in line with its source material. The first episode adapts a short story and then it flies on its own and it is amazing.
I’m so looking forward to the sequel “Justified: City Primeval”.
Give it time
Regular show
The Wire
Rome
I mean, The Wire was virtually perfect TV. Everything about it was good.
