That’s all, everyone. In the final episode of Still watching, Vanity fairTV show recap podcast by, host Hillary Busis, Richard Lawson, And Chris Murphy share their all-time favorite series finales in a lively final roundtable discussion.
Lawson’s choice for best finale of all time? by HBO Under Six Feet. In the final episode of the HBO drama, “Everybody’s Waiting,” we see what happens to the Fisher family, who run the funeral home that has been the center of the show for five seasons. Like Claire (Lauren Ambrose) drove to New York to listen SiaOur “Breathe Me” fast-forwards to see what happens to each member of her family, ending with Claire’s own death in 2085. “I think it’s a really worthy grace love to end the show,” Lawson said of the finale. “After all, the real ending is [death]. I think it really balances a kind of hope with a kind of awareness of mortality.”
Murphy’s choice, somewhat expectedly, was the final choice Sex and the city, “An American Girl in Paris: Part Deux.” The series finale finds Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) trades her beloved New York for a new life in Paris, before choosing to return to Manhattan, with her friends and the true love of her life: John, aka Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Although “American Girl in Paris: Part Deux” It’s really not the end for girls from Sex and the city, as a series finale, Still watching the showrunners found this to be a near-perfect encapsulation of the entire series. “I like the girl who has her man, her city and her friends,” Murphy notes. “A woman can have it all”
Busis got the final cut and picked the best series of all time: the final episode of Friend. Appropriately titled, “The Last One” finds the Central Perk gang embarking on the next chapter of their lives, along with Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) welcome twins and move to the suburbs, and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) select Ross (David Schwimmer) about his new job in Paris. Both fun and emotionally satisfying, Friend The finale represents the true end of an era for both Friends and television. “There is no better sitcom Friend,” Busis said. “These performers are really good at what they do.”
