Just after finishing The Sopranos. Brilliant TV. Would have Breaking Bad slightly ahead all the same. I know this has probably being done to death but that ending. WTF. Nobody could be happy with that.

No? I thought it was a perfect ending to the best tv show ever created.

Just the fact that there are at least three possibilities of what might have happened.

Agree on Sopranos.  Ending was dire.  I only watched it about 7 years ago and remember thinking there was a fault with the DVD or something due to how it finished.

I agree Deedsy.....after investing so much of your life and time into a show you want definitive closure!!!

I agree.  Great ending, still thinking about it intermittently, years later.  Everything doesn't have to (and rarely does) end with an explosion/mass murder/neat denouement.

It doesn't but you would like a show with an actual definitive ending, not one that is left open to interpretation.

Ah but life isn't about definitive endings . . .

But you're applying a real life concept to makey-uppy stuff. Lord Lucan was a "great ending" because nobody really knows what happened and where he went and there are loads of possiblities (might not be the best of analogies, esp for the poor worman murdered, but you get my meaning)

In Soprano's, nothing else happened. There's nothing to think about, pointless wondering about what happened next, because, literally, nothing happend next. It was just a writer taking the mick and pretending its "arty" or something. In my opinion anyway!

[gallsman]

Why would there be any more point in wording about what happened Lord Lucan than what happened next to the characters in the Sopranos?

You understand television is an art form, yes? Imagine someone involved in TV production being artistic. Perish the thought.

This is a regular discussion in our house. My missus likes all endings tied up in a bow and always has to know how things end - she reads spoilers for everything and in the past read the last chapter of a book before starting the book  I'm the polar opposite and will read nothing about a film or a book and studiously avoid spoilers (have refused to even watch the trailers for Blade Runner 2049).

Endings like The Sopranos drive her nuts whereas I like the fact that it brings the viewer to a crossroads in their imagination - left is assassination, right is (an unlikely) happy ending.

It's just using your imagination my friend, like wondering if Dublin would ever win an AI without everything being stacked in their favour ...

[Main Street]

Is much imagination needed? i haven't viewed the last few series of the Sopranos but I guess it's the usual mafia ending.  a boss, past his sell by date for some reason, getting executed in a grubby restaurant in a power shift. Not unlike Joey, "the king of the streets, child of clay".
There is only one end to a mafia drama.

Donnie Brasco is the supreme gold standard of a gritty mafia drama and the bullet with Lefty's name on it was in the chamber from the opening scenes.
