    The Man in the high castle was really just the last minute that’s so absurd. Aside from that it was not bad. Which is telling how bad that last minute was.

    I don’t recall thr ending of misfits to be bad though, have to look that up.

      They had a choice; end the show on a hasty summary or end it on an unresolved cliffhanger. I’m honestly impressed that they shoved the entire last planned season into one episode. It felt cheap, I wanted to see Smith become the monster at a better pace that showed us all the details of his fall, but I don’t envy the showrumners’ position.

      Unlike Enterprise, where they halfway invalidated the entire series by making it Riker’s off-hours book report.

      Mass effect style? Where the last 10 minutes are so bad they reach across space and time and make the experience retroactively worse?

      People wanted to see a redemption ark for the main bad guy from Man in the High Castle (forget his name it’s been a while). But I loved the fact that I grew to hate him and lost faith in him as they showed how much of a hyprocrit he was. Although the finale was crazy and rushed, I thought his story was satisfying.
