One of the most challenging jobs in the world has to be being the person that has to come up with the script for the series finale of a popular TV show. Can you imagine how much pressure screenwriters have to face when assigned to that daunting task? Take shows like Lost or the Sopranos, for example. Both series were critically acclaimed and had massive fan bases, but in the end, the writers simply weren't able to meet everyone's exceedingly high expectations. Honestly though, in Lost's case, it just seemed like they gave up on trying to make sense of everything. Was that supposed to be purgatory or what?
If you’re going into television screenwriting, there is one thing that you should know. Everyone is going to hate you no matter how you end a series. Endings are always tricky. After fans have spent years of their time and emotional energy investing in beloved characters, they become almost like family. They expect when the series ends there to be some sort of closure that not lonely wraps things up on a high note but also ties up all of the series’ loose ends, mysteries, and plot arcs.
With so many expectations, it makes sense that a lot of shows would end up feeling remarkably disappointing So when a show ends well, that's really a pretty amazing accomplishment. In this facts-packed video, we’ll be taking a look at a few series that most fans considered to have ended pretty decently.
