10 TV Show Endings That Get Better The More You Think About Them
5. Breaking Bad - Felina
Breaking Bad was such a great show, it was always going to be difficult to end. Its run was characterised by such perfect drama that it was only ever going to end very well, or it was going to alienate its fanbase.
Luckily, its finale, Felina, ends things perfectly, not only killing Walt White and his neo-Nazi foes in a hail of bullets that finally sets Jesse Pinkman free, but by having Walt admit to himself the real reason he became so obsessed with his powerful life as Heisenberg.
Throughout the show, Walt keeps lying to himself by saying everything he's doing is for his family, but in Felina he finds honesty for the first time when confronting ex-wife Skyler, stating: "I did it for me. I liked it."
Breaking Bad was always about Walter White's rise and fall, and his uncanny ability to not only lie to those around him, but to himself. Felina makes him finally confront himself before biting the dust, embracing the truth no matter how late he may be. After five seasons of deception, it brings the entire show full-circle.
