"The Ending Made No Sense": People Are Revealing The Long-Standing TV Shows That Ended In The Worst Possible Way
Nothing is more heartbreaking than when you invest time, sweat, and tears into a TV show that ends in the worst way possible. So when Reddit user u/unclefishbits asked: "Which show ended so poorly that you really wished you hadn't invested so much time in it?" over 22 thousand people shared their frustrations. Here are the TV shows they regret watching:
1."The most obvious answer for me is still Game of Thrones. The last season was such an incredible letdown in so many ways and for so many different characters, and it could have been amazing."
2."It is still not over, but Grey’s Anatomy lost me about a decade ago."
3."The Walking Dead. They could’ve cut that show's length in half, and it would’ve been 10x better."
4."How to Get Away With Murder. Once the original storyline was wrapped up, they should have ended the series. Instead, it limped on as though it was some sort of inferior spin-off. I gave up a few episodes after."
5."Dexter. Like, WTF was even that?"
6."Heroes."
7."I’ll never forgive the writers of Pretty Little Liars. They ran an incredible YA mystery show straight into the ground, trying to make money off of extra seasons. They wanted to 'outsmart' the audience rather than tell a good fucking story."
8."After 208 episodes of How I Met Your Mother and just pissing on 9 seasons of character development and cast chemistry... yeah, HIMYM takes the crown. I mean, not sticking the landing is pretty common on show finales, but to outright throw up your middle fingers at the fans... sigh. The show could have gone down with other greats where people are constantly rediscovering it on streaming and seeing younger generations get into it, but nope. The only time anyone ever talks about HIMYM or even discusses it is when discussing how bad the ending is."
9."Killing Eve. The whole last season was fucking trash."
10."Once Upon a Time."
11."Umbrella Academy! The ending made no sense."
12."Scandal. Classic Shonda show; it’s fantastic until it isn’t and never picks back up again, but then seems to double down on everything everyone hates out of, seemingly, sheer spite for the audience."
13."I don't know if this is controversial, but Orange is the New Black. One new character gets an insanely unnecessary end where they're basically dead. One has a psychotic break where they don't recover. One has dementia and will 100% eventually die from it. One is in prison for life for something they didn't do because their so-called friend lied. The main character chooses to stay in a codependent relationship with the person who put them in prison in the first place. Barely anyone responsible for incredible injustice gets their comeuppance. I get that's the point, it's supposed to show the reality of what life is like for people in prison, but it's so damn bleak."
14."True Blood."
15."Lost."
