IMO:

  • The Americans
  • The Good Place
  • Justified
  • Mr. Robot
  • The Wire, even if the final season, overall, wasn't the greatest

Breaking Bad seems to be pretty well agreed to have stuck its landing.

And this as well. It makes total sense once you think about it. I think David Chase said something like "It's all there".

I always thought that Chuck had a pretty decent ending. Supernatural as well though I know they wanted to have a slightly different ending with more cast members.

That was THE big botched ending before Game Of Thrones took the spot.

The thing with Chuck is that I felt every season and midseason finale was arguably better than the actual series finale. Like they all had this great sense of finality to it that tugged on your heartstrings and made you feel like the show reached a natural conclusion, only for the next season to bring up something else. But then the series finale left an open-ended cliffhanger-esque ending that really didn't need to be there imo.

But on-topic, The Good Place will always be one of my all-time great shows with an absolute perfect ending. Four seasons of philosophical comedy that ends it in a way that is not only perfect for all its characters, but ties together the message of the series in a way that makes sense and gives the viewers hope for the future. I'd say it's the best series finale I've ever seen.

This too. That was just too perfect to watch. I'm actually doing another Scrubs watchthrough just so I can watch it again and feel all the feels.

A lot of people probably didnt like the ending to 24, but honestly

Jack ending up in prison is probably the best outcome he couldve hoped for. The dude made COUNTLESS powerful enemies across the world, there was no way hed be able to ride off into the sunset.

That is the implication but that's functionally a cliffhanger ending as a series finale

Overall I enjoyed the final 7th season and the finale. But the Season 6 finale would have been one of the GOAT series finales had they decided to stop the series at that point.

People were pissed at the ending to Sopranos, but it's a work of art. The whole final season built up to it and dropped so many hints, and the ending is in itself the showrunner's parting message. It's fantastic because it is frustrating, this is prestige TV, not pulp TV.

Warp 13 is fine since they just recalibrated the scale. Nobody wants to say, Ensign, engage warp 9.9999995.

Anyway...

TNG
DS9
MASH

I cant think of any others offhand.
