It's the delta again homie...
These are the finalies that over performed series average by the largest magnitude.
A show that was 9.0 season average and a perfect 10/10 for the finales would have a delta of 1.0
Well below the 1.4 delta number 35 has on this list, despite having a "perfect" finale.
Like. #2 is a 9.1 and #35 is 9.3
So #35 is a better final than #2 on your list of best finalies.
They didn't even mention BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Millennials have no sense of tradition.
Haha, the Picard show season 1 and 2 were so terrible. And 3 was only good because a ton of fan service.
The Good Place had a high rated finale? That surprises me. I liked the series but the last season especially towards the end was quite meh. They manoeuvred themselves into a corner that was difficult to get a satisfying end out of and I don't think they succeeded. But seems like I am alone with that opinion.
I agree with your assessment of Picard, but haha yeah you're alone in that opinion of the Good Place. I recently rewatched/binged the whole series again and I found the overall story arc held together well, with a clear vision throughout. My criticism of it would be against the points where they tried to be too slapstick or absurdist because HuMouR plus some minor filler that could have been trimmed. The ending, though, was a natural culmination of the themes they talked about, and I thought it was poignant and beautiful and suited the rest of the content. It wasn't perfect but whenever the subject of finales or series endings come up the Good Place is held up as an example of how it's done.
I'm bawling every time at the end of both seasons 3 and 4. Season 1 finale turned the whole thing on its head. Season 2 might be "the worst", but only because there has to be one. It was still a perfectly fine end to a season that set up the next season really well.
Hmm, I gave up on Picard after S02. Do you think the uptick in S03 is because they legitimately improved things, or because the only ones left watching didn’t know any better?
