Nowadays (with social media/forums) when a show is so big and successful it’s impossible to have a final ending to please everyone

It’s always been an issue, how to end a great series, long before social media. Trying to find the middle ground between trying to be too clever, Soprano’s maybe? And just having it peter out. I mean, there’s only so many ways of finishing any story really. They die, live happily ever after, get banged up.

Yeh it’s a tough balance, to be honest when a series has been that good I’m never that fussed about wanting the ‘perfect’ ending - I just appreciate how good it’s been and sad it’s coming to an end

I'm struggling with the timelines between the mid/end of S6 and the start of Breaking Bad. Because that's where I think they dovetail. Goodman being trussed up in White's mobile meth lab points to a bit later into the series.Yep.
Also thought the cameos from Mr White and Jesse were bobbins.
But I thoroughly enjoyed the whole six seasons, a very very worthwile watch.

I absolutely loved BCS and BB. However, I think with the last few episodes of BCS they tried to be to clever and over egged it. Still very difficult to end a series that had been so good.

I do like a "tail" on a series - i.e. some episodes that show what's happening to the characters after the main climax of the actions/story. Whilst I don'#t think that there was much wrong with the ending, I think that in this case, the 4 episodes was a bit too much when 2 would have been enough.
But that's a minor criticism on what was an absorbing watch throughout.
