I love watching shows especially ones with several seasons attached to them. I’ve watched all there is to watch, so much so that I’ve forgotten the endings!
Army Wives was a favorite. Revenge was another but my all time favorite was Breaking Bad. I didn’t think I would like it at first but I got caught up in it and waited for each new season to show up and I was there when it did. It never failed to bore him and that is saying something. Most series fizzle out after the 2nd season but this one kept my interest.
One source called it a perfect ending because “it provided definitive consequences for Walter White’s greed while successfully completing his character arc.” There were no loose ends to be tied up, it was all there at the ending. Throughout the five seasons, Walter White claimed or rather justified his criminal behavior with the excuse that he was doing everything he did for his family. However, the truth comes to light at the end. He says, “I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it.” That gave the series the closure it needed.
The dynamics between Walter White and Jesse Pinkman is the heartbeat of the show. However, in the end White sacrifices himself to save Jesse. In the final season, Walt dies where the story began, in a meth lab, and he gets what he deserves. His family is destroyed, he is ruined and he dies as a hunted criminal.
A perfect ending for a not so nice guy. Unlike other series endings where you’re kept wondering what is coming next, what didn’t happen, and why it ended the way it did, this one had full closure.
