The Most Disappointing TV Show Endings

How I Met Your Mother

How I Met Your Mother's finale was a letdown, failing to do justice to the characters and their development over the years. The ending revoked the growth of some characters, making their arcs seem meaningless. The title 'Last Forever' held no significance as it concluded with unsatisfactory resolutions.

Barney and Robin's relationship, which was a focal point of the series, was undermined by a sudden divorce after a whole season dedicated to their wedding. Barney's character, who had evolved positively, regressed to his former self, and the demise of Tracy for Ted and Robin's reunion was infuriating.

Game of Thrones

The conclusion of Game of Thrones was a disappointment for many fans, tarnishing the evolution of beloved characters. 'The Iron Throne' episode, in particular, showcased a drastic and illogical change in Daenerys' character, and Jon's fate was far from satisfying.

Friends

Despite providing a heartwarming conclusion for most characters, Friends' finale failed to do justice to the growth of Rachel's character. Her toxic relationship with Ross took center stage, leading to a decision that contradicted her previous struggles and development.

Skins

Skins' conclusion took a drastic turn, deviating from the character's established growth and moral compass. Effy's sudden choices and the subsequent consequences felt out of place, leaving viewers perplexed.
