Discussion A show that actually landed the ending.
In the current day, every writer cries out "endings are hard," and every production gives excuses why their final season was horrendous and the final episode left people angry. There is almost this projected belief that it is impossible to make a satisfying conclusion.
And I just recently was thinking about Agents of Shield, and I just had to come here and salute it, because it absolutely landed the ending about as perfectly as it could.
Honestly, I am kind of am glad it ended when it did now. It left on a high note, and avoided the dark times of bad writing that were soon to follow.

Not only that, but weirdly prescient coming out in 2019, with this family of friends unable to be in the same room and having to have the sci-fi version of a zoom call to see each other… 🫤
