Many TV shows are great fun to watch, fewer manage to stick the landing though. This can be because of the network cancelling the show, cancelling the show but the writers left things unfinished (on a related note has this ever saved a show? Would it be better form to have a series end act as something of a whole show end if it turns out that is the case?), because the writers ran out of material several series back (or source material if it is that), networks slashing a budget and hamstringing people, departure of a key actor, or good old fashioned incompetence.
Anyway we are not really here to discuss that* as much as what shows really did well for the series end. Important plot threads resolved, possibly some king of poignant ending if it is necessary, something utterly absurd but did it so well that you count that, maybe a nice what happened next...
If the show finished as a book, comic or film then tell us more there as well, especially if it is not as well known.
*if you have a "watch the show up to this episode/series suggestion then it plays. Better yet if you have one the ordering of shows was messed with then do that too.
I will also say the ending to Sons of Anarchy was made 1000 times better when I watched it with Arlo Guthrie - The Motorcycle song and to this day if I think of that ending then that song plays in my head.
In my case the finale of Six Feet Under did it for me. Won't do much to watch standalone but if you watched the whole series it is so fitting.
