15 Greatest Final Shots In TV Shows Ever

10. Breaking Bad

How do you possibly end Breaking Bad? That was the question facing Vince Gilligan at a time when, after flying under the radar for its first 3-4 years, the show was suddenly the biggest in the world.

With Felina, the series went out with a bang, and then a moment of quiet finality. After taking out all of his rivals, and with Jesse free (at least briefly), Walt returns to the lab, touches the equipment one last time, and then collapses on the floor, accepting of his fate.

The final shot, an aerial view of his motionless body as the police come running in, is as expertly and painstakingly well-framed as all that came before it, and tinged with a sadness at not only the death of Walt but the ending of the show, and manages to encompass the meth lab that drove its plot and the trail of bodies Heisenberg left behind him in his pursuit of power. In the end, it was the only way it could go, and there was no better image to leave with viewers than Walt's body after one last victory.
