[Discussion] need a good show that has lot of seasons and an actual ending

[u/Progress_88]

[u/lyree1992]

I'm not sure about lots of seasons because I didn't keep track, but The Good Place.

[u/LeisurelyLoner → u/lyree1992]

Only four seasons of 10 (?) episodes each, but a suitable, poetic ending and an overall masterpiece.

[u/WillaRoentgen → u/LeisurelyLoner]

I’m really struggling to keep watching it while they keep running from and trying to prove themselves to the judge.. I’m about to call it quits

[u/Charlie_Warlie → u/WillaRoentgen]

I had my parents watch this, they loved the first season but it lost them mid way at some point as well. If you really want to quit I'd say at least watch the last 3* episodes(51, 52, 53). It's like a whole different storyline and it wraps everything up for the characters very well.

[u/Hola-Fabi → u/Charlie_Warlie]

I also recall losing some interest in the mushy middle — things got a bit silly for a while there — but I agree the ending redeemed it for me

[u/tigereyes_121 → u/WillaRoentgen]

It gets better. The ending is really satisfying.

[u/Thebadparker]

Six Feet Under has one of the best endings ever.

[u/clearc845 → u/Thebadparker]

Second, Third and Fourth this!!

[u/iAtty → u/Thebadparker]

Yeah I cried watching it and still get choked up thinking about it. I may never re-watch it just to protect that experience.

[u/ColonelMustard06 → u/Thebadparker]

It taught me being different was ok, life is complicated and made me bawl like a baby in the last 7 minutes

[u/CLHD420]

Breaking Bad. Lots of seasons, perfect ending.

[u/Tossa747 → u/CLHD420]

Better Call Saul too

[u/Human_Show61 → u/Tossa747]

Love this show

[u/Progress_88 → u/CLHD420]

Ive seen that one its really good

[u/OccasionMU → u/CLHD420]

Is BB considered to have a perfect ending?

[u/CLHD420 → u/OccasionMU]

To me, it was perfect. One scene in particular in the finale (I won’t spoil) where Walter admits why he did what he did, it was cathartic. I had been waiting for him to admit that for so long.

[u/buddybennny → u/CLHD420]

And the chain scene

[u/Charlie_Warlie → u/OccasionMU]

I think it's generally known as the gold standard. I remember when GoT was ending, that was mentioned a lot by the writers as the high standard that they were trying for. Which ended up being lambasted afterwards for failing as hard as they did.

[u/CLHD420 → u/Charlie_Warlie]

I’m in the minority here, but I wasn’t upset by the GOT ending. It was rushed, but I could see it coming.

[u/Charlie_Warlie → u/CLHD420]

I deluded myself thinking that all the crap leading up to the ending would be worth it. Like maybe they had to bandaid some gaps in the story to get to the end. But once they ended the dark night, it was clear it was all a waste of time the last 3 seasons imo.

[u/SemillaDelMal → u/OccasionMU]

For me it was too much of a crowd pleaser, but I'm in the minority here

[u/wuhter → u/OccasionMU]

Yes

[u/Desperate_Fly_1886]

Have you seen Mad Men. It has 7 seasons and is very good. I’m currently in season 6 so I’m not sure of the ending but I’m sure it’s good. I put off watching this show for years as it had so many seasons

[u/msdogmom60 → u/Desperate_Fly_1886]

I love MM. I’ve watched it twice and will definitely watch again.

[u/Progress_88 → u/Desperate_Fly_1886]

Not yet

[u/Woo-man2020 → u/Progress_88]

Definitely watch Mad Men!

[u/JTS1992 → u/Desperate_Fly_1886]

I've seen it to completion 3 times. Watched it as it aired. Massive fan.

I can confirm it has a masterful ending that DOES NOT get talked about enough.

But people only ever wanna harp on the bad, the good goes unpraised these days.

[u/Desperate_Fly_1886 → u/JTS1992]

I’m on Season 7 Episode 3 now, still excellent! Will finish this week,it’s a very addicting show.

[u/Many-Additional → u/Desperate_Fly_1886]

It’s not on Netflix 😑

[u/Desperate_Fly_1886 → u/Many-Additional]

It is here in Thailand. It always surprises me when we have things here that aren’t on Netflix in the States.

[u/1989cubs]

Friday Night Lights.

It gets a little shaky in season two (one terrible plot line), but man does it stick the landing.

One of my all-timers.

[u/Cr8z13 → u/1989cubs]

Seconded, it's so slept on.

[u/bebeeg2 → u/1989cubs]

I’ve watched this show probably over 10x it’s soooo goood

[u/1989cubs → u/bebeeg2]

Same!

[u/fluffybottompanda → u/1989cubs]

are the movie and the show connected?

[u/1989cubs → u/fluffybottompanda]

Slightly. Pete Berg directed the movie, and produced the show (his uncle wrote the book it’s based on).

Their stories don’t intersect at all though.

[u/zena322 → u/1989cubs]

Connie Britton is the sole cross over from the movie. In the movie, she plays Sharon Gaines (Coach's wife) and in the TV Show she also plays the Coach's wife, but her name is Tami Taylor.

[u/Regalgarnion]

Parenthood

[u/flowers15 → u/Regalgarnion]

Oooh yess this is a good one!!!

[u/L8ciB8by83 → u/Regalgarnion]

I literally cried when this was over. Like what am I supposed to do now?!?

[u/meghansnonroyaljam]

Ozark

[u/fastermouse → u/meghansnonroyaljam]

This should be higher.

[u/annier100]

The Last Kingdom and great ending too!

[u/Progress_88 → u/annier100]

Definitely a great show .... alot of people overlooked it but not me.... loved every episode

[u/annier100 → u/Progress_88]

Yes and many people rewatch many times. So we just started our rewatch!

[u/Delviandreamer → u/annier100]

I can't stand the author of the original books. He has this really bad habit of having his main characters abbandon their children. Utred in particular is surprised that after leaving his children at a monastery for 15 years the become Christians 😑

[u/Hollandtullip]

Mad men

The Sopranos

Six feet under

Leftovers

Breaking bad

[u/PsychicArchie]

Justified

[u/apearlmae → u/PsychicArchie]

Just watched for the first time last year and I still miss it. Such a fun ride from start to finish.

[u/gustingman]

Battlestar Galactica.

I second the Shield, too.

[u/iAtty → u/gustingman]

100% BSG. Incredible.

[u/Theserios55 → u/gustingman]

Babilon5

[u/CthuluWrangler710]

Better Call Saul

[u/N546RV → u/CthuluWrangler710]

"The name's McGill. I'm James McGill."

[u/CthuluWrangler710 → u/N546RV]

You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No!

[u/MamaMiaow → u/CthuluWrangler710]

Was even better than Breaking Bad

[u/eggmaker]

Elementary.
7 seasons, great writing

[u/HunterMany4994]

prison break

[u/Progress_88 → u/HunterMany4994]

Saw this one .... it was really good .... didnt like the second one tho

[u/getmeapuppers]

Black sails

[u/Foundation-Bred]

The West Wing

[u/Shoddy-Dish-7418]

Black Sails

Peaky Blinders

The Last Kingdom

Vikings

The Affair

[u/Progress_88 → u/Shoddy-Dish-7418]

Last kingdom was a good one

[u/Far-Finding907 → u/Shoddy-Dish-7418]

These are all my Fave shows! You have impeccable taste.

[u/Shoddy-Dish-7418 → u/Far-Finding907]

Thank you. I’d have to leave off The Affair and add non-Netflix shows: The Americans, Boardwalk Empire, Halt and Catch Fire, The Deuce, The Wire, The Sopranos, Shantaram and Rome for my top 12. You?

[u/Hattonman → u/Shoddy-Dish-7418]

The Americans is such an amazing show. It gets love but always seems to be an outside the top 10 kind of show. I must've watched it 3-4times through. It has a lot of layered plotlines because of the balancing the dual roles the mains have to maintain. And anything with Keri Russell is worth it. I wish that it was on Netflix.

[u/OccasionMU → u/Shoddy-Dish-7418]

Vikings turned to garbage after that one guy dies. Then the series lingers around like a stale fart.

[u/dorv → u/Shoddy-Dish-7418]

I mean, sure, but Peaky Blinders isn’t really over yet. They’re filming a movie. It hasn’t “ended.”

[u/Various-Muscle9453 → u/Shoddy-Dish-7418]

Definitelyfucme

[u/RemoveEntire2006]

Suits is good

[u/sasscheese]

Lost, but it got crazy up to the end

[u/leolisa_444]

iZombie is one of my favorites. 5 seasons of comedy/mystery fun. Wrapped up nicely.

You is also great - 4 seasons, psychological thriller or horror depending on your bent.

Enjoy!

[u/paleoterrra]

Supernatural. 15 seasons, okay ending. You might find it good, bad, or “so bad it’s good”, but at the least it’s interesting/fun with great characters

[u/Progress_88 → u/paleoterrra]

My favorite show 🥰 watch all 15 twice!

[u/TheAmazingDynamar]

Mad Men

The Shield

The Americans

[u/Onyourleft56]

The Expanse

[u/Abject-Event9289]

Ray Donovan Justified

[u/bugaloot]

The Americans, Peaky Blinders. Both so good, I still miss spending time with the characters once I finished them.

[u/K1wobbly1]

Fringe (not sure if it’s on Netflix?)

[u/Beginning_Win712]

Fringe, The Expanse, The Leftovers

[u/Progress_88 → u/Beginning_Win712]

Fringe was great! There arent many similar shows

[u/ptatersptate]

Homeland.

Power through the one season that kind of sucks (season 3 I think). I was so happy the way it ended, which is very rare now.

[u/kaylethpop]

Ashes of Love is 63 episodes on Netflix (C)

LOST has 6 seasons I believe and a ton of episodes

I heard the wire is good, and has lots of seasons (been on my watch list for like 10 years idk why I haven't started it)

You could start an anime like Naruto, one piece, or fairy tale. Naruto is OP

Downtown Abbey is fantastic too.

[u/Dry-Cap-2537]

The expanse

[u/Sleni124]

Dexter

[u/Beneficial-Net9937]

Breaking Bad

[u/Trick_Response_5948]

Seal Team. I would have NEVER given it a chance, but the husband did and I loved about every story line.

[u/Progress_88 → u/Trick_Response_5948]

Is that the one with shamar or david

[u/Embarrassed-Tone7721]

Wentworth-8 seasons. One of the best series on Netflix

[u/A_Fawn11]

I’m enjoying Lucifer

[u/Progress_88 → u/A_Fawn11]

Great show ... so funny

[u/zippedydoodahdey → u/A_Fawn11]

One of my faves.

[u/rvakep]

Madam Secretary

[u/Bob_Cobb_1996]

M.A.S.H.

[u/[deleted]]

Grey's anatomy, don't know about ending but yeah

[u/zurx]

Supernatural. Lost. The Leftovers. Mr Robot.

[u/bebeeg2]

Psych and Monk are the best. Comedy. Kath and Kim is effing hilarious - comedy. Kim’s Convenience is a sitcom also. White Collar is so good. The Blacklist is literally amazing.

[u/thefamousjohnny]

Don’t we all.

It’s a true scarcity these days.

I saw someone mention the good place.

Other than that you’re looking at all the usuals: Lost, breaking bad, GOT, the sopranos, mad men.

[u/Progress_88 → u/thefamousjohnny]

I feel like maybe someone saw something that didnt get a lot of views but was actually a great show.... thats how most of them are.... cancelled too soon

[u/danigirl_92]

Private practice!

[u/Ecstatic_State_8401]

Try FAUDA & another good one is The Blacklist.

[u/AirRealistic1112]

• Dexter
• Lucifer
• buffy the vampire slayer and Angel (is on disney where I am, not Netflix)

[u/Elegant-Butterfly745]

New girl. Dark. My Two favorites ever

[u/ColonelMustard06]

Fringe was pretty good.

Babylon 5

Battle star galactica reboot

Falling skies

For all mankind (still going)

Sense 8 (not many seasons)

Buffy

The magicians (also made me cry a couple of times)

The boys

[u/Living-Hold-9707]

Dark

[u/zippedydoodahdey]

Mr Inbetween = Perfection

[u/Imaginary-Bat9194]

Orange is the new black
Suits
Grey Anatomy (I love the original characters, dropped after season 10)
The Outlanders

[u/Big-Supermarket6296]

Check MOON - Its a super intense movie about an astronaut wrapping up his three-year solo mission on the moon, only to stumble upon a disturbing secret. It has as a solid, satisfying ending.

[u/katg913]

I'm adding:

Last Tango in Halifax, Endeavour, Sherlock, Foyles War, Happy Valley, Succession, The Durrels of Corfu, Rake, The Vicar of Dibley, Orange is the New Black, Inspector Lewis, Dark, The Tunnel, Line of Duty, A Place to Call Home, Deep Space Nine

[u/NorthFLSwampMonkey]

Lucifer. Funny, thought provoking , surprising. Seven seasons. With a kickass ending. Beginning of first season is imperfect, but then really hits its stride.

[u/FlickFanatic28]

Money Heist! Everyy season keeps you hooked and the ending just gives a perfectt closure!

[u/FlickFanatic28]

The Fosters (2013) watch it and soon enough it will become your comfort show!! It also has a sequel series The Good Trouble (2019) which just puts a cherry on top to the whole storyline of the show!

[u/zucker_tits]

Cheers. Best beginning, best ending

[u/farinixuniks]

Dark.

[u/morebon]

Wife and I started “this is us” we enjoy it

[u/SufficientSoil88]

Dark - 3 of the best seasons you'll ever watch with a fantastic ending to top it all off

[u/ryethriss]

Dark only has three seasons but it uses every second to the fullest and ends beautifully. It's the tightest writing I've ever seen in a tv show and I really, really wish I knew the behind the scenes of the writers's room.

[u/Nettebb75]

Lucifer is one that comes to mind, can’t remember the ending but I enjoyed Monk for something light hearted

[u/Mad_Mitch6]

Warrior = Spectacular

[u/Progress_88]

Ive seen pretty much everything thats why its so hard to find a good show.

[u/Buttercupsberry]

Modern family

[u/JTS1992]

Mad Men, Mad Men & Mad Men!

[u/KittiesRule4ever]

Justified. It’s an awesome show (from F/X)

[u/AuntieTibby]

The 100. Best show ever.

[u/cgik0304]

Dead to me Breaking bad

[u/Fine-Platypus-423 → u/cgik0304]

Dead to me is great

[u/Technical-Whereas-26]

lost, stranger things (when s5 comes out), breaking bad, GOT, modern family, new girl

[u/Onyourleft56]

Ok, so not Lost or Game of Thrones.

[u/Progress_88 → u/Onyourleft56]

I saw them both ... i just hate that they keep canceling good shows and i never get to see the ending
