Endings are tricky, especially when it comes to our favorite television shows.
Yes, that may sound like were asking a lot from the final episode of a TV show.
Which is probably why so many of them end up feeling disappointing (Hello,Seinfeld!).
So when a show ends well, its an accomplishment.
The list of shows that wrap up better than that the truly great endings is a short one.
After six head-scratching seasons, there were just too many stray threads to tie up.
How do I know its a great finale?
The first time I watched it, live, I absolutely hated it.
A few years later I watched it again, and I was sobbing.
Or was it just a happy moment showing a fractured family coming together?
TheSopranosfinale was certainly a memorable conversation starter.
But many fans were left confounded and annoyed by Chases cryptic lack of clarity.
One things for sure, if you watched it, youll definitely never forget it.
And so was its so-called hero Jon Hamms self-invented adman, Don Draper.
During the final season, we saw Don in a harrowing downward spiral.
The man who was always in control no longer was.
But like real life, others were headed in a more hopeless direction.
So saying farewell couldnt help but be a little traumatic.
Which is just how it should have been.
