this should probably have a SPOILER ALLERT tag becouse season finale of GOT is so reasent probably smart.

I didn't hate the ending of Lost like most people did. It's not like they tried to make sense before.

Six feet Under & Breaking Bad were very good.

It pissed off many, but I loved (the original with Patrick McGoohan) The Prisoner finale episode. I would post my review of it that I wrote a few years before joining this site, if I could find it.

I have yet to see the final season of Game of Thrones as I'm not currently subscribed to HBO (will subscribe again when Westworld comes back in 2020).

A particular favourite series finale of mine was the Black Adder Goes Forth one (I found it so moving).

The worst final episodes for me have been those that left things hanging too much (sometimes with a cliffhanger) and the show was not renewed for another season/series. I'm left wanting more, and questions to be answered, although I do like to come up my own ideas for how things could end and quite like a certain level of ambiguity so that I can come up with my own interpretations rather than having everything spelled out for me.

Two shows of this decade that left me upset that they weren't continued and needed wrapping up were Utopia, which is a brilliant, imo, UK Channel 4 mystery, sci-fi, thriller, drama show from 2013 and 2014) and In the Flesh, which is a BBC zombie, mystery, thriller, drama show also from 2013 and 2014. Both had two series (or seasons for those in the US). Utopia ran for a total of twelve episodes, and In the Flesh 9 had episodes). Both could have wrapped things up very nicely with about three episodes.

I rarely get to the season finale on really long-running shows. I generally prefer shows that don't take super long to wrap up, and often prefer mini-series where everything was through-written in advance.

I guess one that I felt rather lackluster was the ending of Les Revenants (the Returned), which ran for two series/ seasons and 16 episodes. Many felt that series two was very inferior to series one, but I still enjoyed both series/seasons very much.

Recently saw The Big Bang Theory. It seemed like a nice enough ending, but the last few seasons were on-and-off bland to me. The Office had a decent ending. ST:TNG had a decent ending too. The 2004 Battlestar Galactica series ending was decent enough, but seemed a bit anticlimactic to me. I can't remember anything else off the top of my head. To my younger eyes, the ending to Blake's 7 was a bit of a surprise.

How bleak was that Blake's 7 ending? It made everything seem kind of pointless. The show started off dark, and ended dark. I quite recently re-rewatched all of Blake's 7.
