10 TV Show Endings That Get Worse The More You Think About Them

4. Friends - The Last One

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Chosen
NBC

In the world of sitcoms, Friends is at the pinnacle of popularity, and its extended season ten finale, The Last One, is often regarded as a brilliant send-off for the Gang, all of whom are given the chance to move onto the next chapter of their lives.

But it's not as sweet as it may appear...

In the closing moments of the show, Rachel famously gets off the plane taking her to her new life in Paris, and races to be with Ross.

It's played as romantic and perfect, but it's hard to shake the fact she's given up the life the rest of the season has been building up, to be with a man who's never taken her career seriously.

It's honestly disheartening that Rachel seemingly gives up the next chapter of her career for Ross, and their reunion is hard to buy, especially when you really think about how poorly they always were as a couple throughout 10 seasons of turbulent 'will-they-won't-they'.

This may sound harsh, but watching the finale and its emotionally manipulative twist serves as a reminder of how badly written Friends' biggest romance really was.
