Does anyone else feel sad when TV series finish?

I love watching really long boxsets but there are the odd few that I can't wait to watch and see what happens but equally I really miss watching them once they are finished.

I felt really sad when How I Met Your Mother finished, i binged that recently, Barney was probably one of my favourite ever tv characters, I have felt the same about quite a few others. I think it's mainly when I binge them though rather than watch them over a long period of time.

Has anyone else watched others they feel like that about?

Definitely feel sad! Even more so when a series gets cancelled and doesn't get a ending because you see how much potential it could've had

I binge watch better call saul for a few seasons before i even started breaking bad. I loved it. I was dreading the change in Jimmy to go from that to Saul.

I’m really sad that I have only got 2 episodes left of the resident
to make it worse it was cancelled , so won’t properly end 😢

NOOOOOO! I didn't know it had been cancelled! We are watching the series after a main character (won't say, in case of spoiler) died. Is this the last one?!

Every time I watch the end of Friends I watch the first episode straight away just to have them all back again!

I do the same with Superstore and Schitts Creek.

Oh yes. That was good. Especially watching the story unfold of what actually happened that she didnt know at the time.

@ErrolTheDragon I'll never forgive them for cancelling Firefly, I bloody love that show.

Carrie had to escape to Russia, apparently as a traitor, but after a while she started sending info to Saul.

I got a 'Bro Code' book for DH as a stocking filler one year. So bloody stupid and funny. I wonder if this cancel culture continues Barney could be on the chopping block, he did push the boundaries a lot. Neil Patrick Harris is brilliant though, an absolute comic talent.

He's fantastic, even though he was such a player I still fancied him, my DSs who are 17 and 15 said he's always all over tiktok, they think Barney's hilarious. I hope he isn't cancelled, most people are quite able to know how not to behave 😂 I loved his little appearance on How I Met Your Father. Neil Patrick Harris is amazing in Glee, he has an incredible voice.

Who had her daughter?
Stayed with her sister. I don't think she told anyone she was going, as it was (ostensibly) defection

@MyNumber1Rule I felt sad when how I met your mother ended
I think because I felt like they had lost time together but he had a seemingly happy marriage with his wife so the fact they got together was bittersweet

The summer i felt pretty made me sad. I think I need to rewatch that.

DoodleMum12 · 06/10/2023 18:30

GoT for sure!! Even though the last season was so shit. That last shot of each Stark at the end made me cry and then the last shot of John snow and the music!! I just wanted more…have rewatched a few times since and read the books! (Will the last one ever be out??!)

Yes it was a strange ending, I know its not real lol, but I always felt like Robin and Barney had more chemistry than Robin and Ted, but I guess it was a nice ending overall. I basically sobbed for the last 2 episodes.

There is an alternative ending to HIMYM. It is much better

For those watching the last few episodes of The Resident - considering it was cancelled, it’s not a bad ending at all.

Back to life. I just googled breeders and followed IMDb from there 😂

Daisychainsandglitter · 06/10/2023 20:31

Ashes to Ashes. I thought that it along with life on mars was absolutely great.

nutmegnook · 06/10/2023 20:56

I was like this about satc but now it's back but I've not watched it!

WitchyFingers · 06/10/2023 21:04

Hmm well I've just binged watched the last series of ghosts and the ending was a bit meh. Hopefully the Xmas special is a proper ending.

MrsHughesPinny · 06/10/2023 21:51

Yes! I miss the characters like I know them!

Ted Lasso
Downton
Sons of Anarchy
New Girl (devastated)
I’m dreading next season of Outlander being the last…

toadasoda · 06/10/2023 22:11

@MyNumber1Rule He also plays Count Olaf in the Netflix adaptation of a Series of Unfortunate Events. He is the villain in a different disguise/ character in each episode.

Thethruththewholetruth · 06/10/2023 22:16

Yes. Nashville, which took me by surprise, also This is us, Seal Team and Bosch! Can’t get into anything at all at the minute
