The Best Series Finales In Television History
What are the best series finales in TV history?
Whether it breaks our heart or fulfills our wildest fantasies, the finale of a TV series is what sticks with us long after the final credits roll. And the best series finales are those that in their own way manage to provide closure. Because audiences develop relationships with television characters. So whether we root for and against them, we care about them and the fate of their relationships. Feelings about series finales are often quite polarizing. But, hey, you can’t please ’em all. Here are the ultimate series finales that leave us feeling complete and satisfied.The Wire Series Finale
The last season of “The Wire” is arguably its weakest. No one cares about journalism enough to make that journalist plot gripping.
But the rest of the season wraps up all the stories beautifully, giving Omar and Snoop and Jimmy and Bubbles and everyone else left alive a poetic ending to their beautiful, tragic saga.
Firefly Series Finale

People have been talking about whether we’re going to get new episodes of “Firefly” for, like, over a decade. But, honestly, we don’t need it. The last episode of the only season is a thing of beauty and should be appreciated for what it is. Besides, we already got a “Firefly” movie.
What more do you want?
Larry Sanders Show Series Finale
I don’t have much to say about the “Larry Sanders” finale except it’s perfect. Is there a bad season of that show? Nope. Does the finale show us the humanity and insecurity behind everybody’s narcissism? Yep. Is it funny as hell and will it make you cry? Oh, absolutely.
Dawson’s Creek Series Finale
They could have done absolutely anything in the “Dawson’s Creek” series finale as long as Joey ended up with Pacey in the end. Dawson Leery, the most obnoxious television character of all time, gets rejected forever!
And Joey and Pacey, obvious soulmates, ride off into the gorgeous sunset together. Sure, Jen dies and it’s very sad. But otherwise? Perfection.
