9 TV Shows That Left Huge Unanswered Questions Behind

4. Six Feet Under: How Did Lisa Die?

Fans and critics are generally pleased with the way HBO laid its hit drama Six Feet Under to rest. The finale answered virtually every question about the ultimate fate of each character and is often hailed as one of the greatest TV endings of all time.

That said, there was just one loose end to speak of, and it's a big one: nobody knows for sure what happened to Nate’s ex Lisa. It was established that she died, but the how and why of the situation was never clarified.

Lisa was a significant character. Not only is she the mother of Nate's daughter, he spent several episodes freaking out after she disappeared on a roadtrip. With these things in mind, it was only natural for the fans to want closure concerning her fate.

All we know is that her body washed up on the shore. The fact she suffered from emotional and psychological issues raised the possibility of suicide, though many fans believe her brother-in-law Hoyt, with whom she was having an affair, murdered her.

For a show that wrapped most things up so tightly, Six Feet Under left a frustrating, unaddressed mystery behind.
