Leftovers was amazing. Finale - amazing. Nora’s monologue - wow.

#2 forever and ever. They blew it bigly.

1.Scrubs had a pretty perfect finale, but then cast it aside by going back to the well for an extra year. Bummer.

Any list of great series finales that doesn’t include Malcolm In The Middle is fatally flawed.

“The wave returns to the ocean.”

Derry Girls is an all-time great, even accounting for recency bias. The video is of course the finale to the first series/season , rather than the final episode, but I was glad to see it because it includes the original soundtrack to Orla’s step routine, Like a Prayer by Madonna. I’ve seen reruns on Netflix in the US…

In addition to “M*A*S*H” and “Newhart” (as mentioned below), I must also excoriate you for omitting “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Barney Miller”. It seems the creators of this list can’t remember anything from the 20th century.

No 'Newhart'? No 'St. Elsewhere'? That's some bullshit if I ever saw it.

Well, he used to be a hott charisma-free, tedious boor. Now that he has to actually rely on his personality, the world’s not falling like plums at his feet.

I didn’t go nowhere.

Nate quitting West Ham off-screen is absolutely fucking unforgivable. I cannot believe how bad his arc has been this season compared to how fantastic it was in s2. Generally I agree with you on this season’s downturn in all respects (I did like last week’s tho) but this one is especially galling to me because of how…

I don’t think that’s a fair way of looking at it. That season 1 was incredibly tightly plotted; everything flowed steadily and logically and made sense. Like Ted himself, its winning nature was in its steadiness and consistency.

Sorry, but the hourlong episodes have been the worse thing to happen to this show, Nate playing Arvo Pärt on the violin, a close second. The longer episodes enables the narrative to overcook and fizzle out. For an hour long episode, they really should have found screentime to have a scene where Nate apologises in…

When I saw this headline, I thought it was a rare occasion when some credit was being given to a woman for her contribution to renowned movies of the 1970s, in this case Marcia Lucas. She was an incredible editor and helped George shape the original story both before and after shooting. But no... Another name that few…

The truth of my mom’s very complicated relationship with her family is only known by me and those who were actually close to her.

Yeah, it’s really wild how that just keeps never coming up. It’s so weird that this show spends so much time on dating and relationships but never addresses any of the obvious ethical problems in certain relationships.

“There is no feud - we have no relationship” is the most perfect things I’ve read this week. 

Nothing about the Michelle/Ted-moving-on storyline works because it’s overshadowed by how insanely gross and unethical it is that a therapist and marriage counsellor is dating his former patient. That dude is a straight up predator and the show doesn’t seem to realise it.

I will say that Jamie's arc continues to be one of the best, possibly the best, in the whole series.

There are times the show gets better about this, and times it doesn’t.
