The ending of Love/Hate was decent, I loved the series - especially moving on from Aiden Gillen which I didn't think it would recover from.

Felt the last few episodes were overly grim as some of the characters were becoming popular even though they weren't supposed to be so the writers were under pressure to be seen to show that the end was violence in that world. The Pool Cue thing.....lets move on.

GoT wasn't too bad an ending, I mean I thought everyone had to die in the end......Although who ended up on the Iron Throne in the end wasn't really for me. Probably could have ended it slightly better that way.

I never watched it bar an episode or two which I thought was actually alright, but the ending of How I Met Your Mother went down like a lead balloon. Voted one of worst ending series ever.

Love/Hate was so good, you could have been forgiven to maybe pass over it after the first episode but they rocked right through to the end and yes the characters were grim (if life in the underworld is like that) but i thought the balance was just right
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Apparently the writer(s) lived in the "underworld" for 6 months before the show. One of the best shows ever IMO. Apparently it's all been put on RTE player.

I'm not that familiar with the prisoner. In fairness to Dexter I don't know how you would do a good ending to it the nature of the show.

For anyone who use to like Dragonball Z back in the day there are quite a few new episodes/movies going back to 2013 to catch up on.

Was a fan of HIMYM at the start but the ending was horrifically bad like they dragged a whole twenty episodes out of an ending it was f**king stupid!!

Very rarely happy with endings I think shows that go out at the top are the best Gervais did it well 2 series then you're done dragging things on like they do in America only makes things stale.

Bojack Horseman has a very good ending!! Brilliant show!

Ah The Office, a work of genius. Still to this day can watch that show.

Never watched the American one, maybe that's something to look into.

Speaking of comedy show endings, Blackadder was exceptional.

Early Doors, with Craig Cash. Pure genius.

The end of Love/Hate was brilliant.  Dexter wasn't brilliant but it wasn't bad either, I liked the idea of him where he ended up.  The whole boat into the storm thing was stupid obviously.

The American one is very different. They've captured the Tim and Gareth dynamic very well with the Brent character being very different and they've brought in some other great characters that weren't in the original.

There's a lot of episodes and the laughs are diluted at times as sitcoms in American tend to do with 20 odd episodes but definitely enjoyable.

To save time the best bits are on youtube!

Only just watched the first episode of Tiger King. Bonkers.



It is pretty nuts all right, but riveting stuff. ;D

Talk about a cast of oddballs. Each one dodgier than the last (not talking about the hair styles and clothes!), with deadly vendettas and grudges and conspiracies and all kinds of allegations. All in the world of exploiting and breeding big cats and other exotic animals. Watching it I was wondering why any of them agreed to be in it. No one came out of it looking well, even those who didn't fall foul of the law.
