Ending a beloved television series in a way that ties up loose ends without being a checklist slog while also saying goodbye to our favorite characters in an emotionally satisfying way is difficult. Very difficult. Let’s take a look at some of the best – and worst – finales in television history.

The initial buzz was immense, but does it truly capture the chilling essence of cosmic dread, or does it get lost in translation?
