We see T.V. series with the intrigue of knowing how they will end. What will happen to the characters or what will happen after that mysterious cliffhanger. Season after season and episode after episode, that culminating moment comes at some point. 'Series Finale' is that locution that fills us with nerves, and that can only mean masterpiece or utter flop. Throughout this post we will talk about some of the finales of television series that disappointed the masses.
Lost
After 6 seasons and 121 episodes, the series of the survivors of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 came to an end on May 23, 2010. Until then, never had a television series generated so much expectation. And, after a world premiere simultaneously, we can say that it did not rain to everyone's taste.
The end of Lost It culminates a sixth season that is not the brightest, but it puts a lot of coherence to all those meaningless events that we had seen during the previous 17 chapters. Some loved the ending, and others continue to curse JJ Abrams around the corners for having sold us the bike.
The criticisms at the end of Lost are not the final chapter itself, but rather the fact that the unknowns were never resolved for which many were still hooked on the series.
Game of Thrones
We are still recovering from the disappointment that was the season finale of this series. For those who were once faithful followers of Game of Thrones, it is difficult to explain the monumental disappointment that the closure of this vast universe meant. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss —»D. & D.» for friends and haters— they lost interest in the project seasons before it ended and the plot suffered with it.
Characters who were once ambitious and cunning ended up watering down and losing coherence. Those who were kind became Disney villains overnight and vice versa. The script of each new episode was more watery than the previous one. And world premieres had oversight glitches at every stage of production.
The season was a complete disaster. Let's remember that premiere in streaming of a night battle that looked totally pixelated. The mythical 'SYCANSIUS'('She can't see us'), which could not be dubbed or translated as it did not even appear in the script. or the infamous Starbucks disposable cup as failure of Raccord of the century. the eighth of Game of Thrones He exemplified what happens in a multi-million dollar project when the board has emotionally jumped ship.
Our beloved cast of actors was the first to feel disappointed. They needed a lot of strength and therapy to face the interviews promoting the last seasons. Kit Harington himself, who played Jon Snow, described as disappointing the last season when they asked her to summarize it in a single word —the interviewer's face was a poem, by the way. We will always have the first five seasons and the thousands of fan fiction best written that circulate on the Internet. In the meantime, we'll continue to pretend the final season never existed.
The entourage
How could such an absolutely brilliant series have such a mediocre ending? The eighth season of Entourage ended in an eighth episode in which each character seemed to attack his own personality. An unfortunate ending, no matter how you look at it, absolutely no one liked it.
Luckily, it seems the writers of the series ended the work like this on purpose —probably to criticize the 'they were happy and ate partridges' so widespread in Hollywood, which, after all, is the environment that criticized the series.
A few years later, Entourage (the movie) hit theaters around the world. And finally we could see the end we all expected to see. Bill film begins a few weeks after the epilogue that the series told us. Within a few minutes, everything they had built on that final series it goes to waste, and we were able to see a kind of long chapter of the series that, this time, was what we wanted to see from this HBO production.
Lois & Clark: The Adventures of Superman
Si Lost You were outraged for not explaining anything, this series was spectacular. Issued between 1993 and 1997, Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman ended prematurely after the fourth season and about 88 episodes.
ABC decided cancel the series when it was already working on a fifth season, so they solved it in a somewhat strange way. At the end of the third season, Lois and Superman finally got married. During the last season, both characters wanted to have a child, but after multiple investigations, the couple is informed that they are unable to conceive.
Apparently, the drafts of the fifth season drew a scenario in which both protagonists raised a rapidly growing Kryptonian son. When the writers knew that the series was not going to continue, they improvised a happy ending, but quite absurd. At the end of chapter 22, the two arrive home and They find a basket with a baby wrapped in Superman logos. Next to the baby is a note saying that the child belongs to them. Because? Well, because it suited the writers well. For some, this was the first time we had faced a deus-ex-machina.
How I Met Your Mother
For 9 years, the children of Ted mosby They were listening to the sheet that their father gave telling their stories. And it is that, if an objective had this sitcom, was to solve that question. Or that's what we thought. Poor naive.
At the time, this ending was one of the most hated in television history, with a near-scratch pass on IMDb. However, what the general public did not reflect on is that the creators of this series were deceiving us from the beginning. Ted is not telling his children how he met his mother. Why would he tell the story starting a decade earlier and detailing his affair with another woman point by point? Would that make any sense?
What this series really tells us is how Ted spent a decade trying to woo the woman of his life. And he got it, even though he had to swallow it bitterly and admit to his children that his mother was nothing more than a second course. Possibly, the critical They came due to the fact that many thought they had wasted their time watching the series. However, it is an ending that gives a good reality bath to the viewer.
Dexter
This series was highly praised by critics, with a very brilliant first four seasons, but it was decaying little by little.
The end of Dexter I didn't like it for being realistic. The serial killer kills Debra and we see how the protagonist leaves by boat, directly into the eye of a storm. A one-way trip, since they let us know that he would die shortly after.
However, after the credits we could see that still alive, and now lives in the middle of nowhere, working as a lumberjack. The change of mind did not end up liking the audience, who did not buy the idea of the character disappearing and starting a new life with a low profile.
