Almost every series finale draws criticism. Some farewell episodes were particularly punished by fans. The case of “Game of Thrones” is legendary, but not the worst case.

What is the worst TV series finale of all time? This is what a new analysis reported by the Daily Mail has now found out. The last episode of the fantasy saga Game of Thrones may have made it into the top ten worst series endings, but the finale of House of Cards is at the top. The episode, which aired in 2018, received a rating of 2.6 out of 10 based on IMDB, a disadvantage of 55 percent compared to the average episode rating of 8.1, it says.

However, the Netflix series also had to contend with the fact that lead actor Kevin Spacey was no longer part of the final season. The actor had been accused of sexual misconduct. At the end of the final episode of “House of Cards,” there is a fatal confrontation between Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly) and US President Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) in the White House. This similar series ending also took first place in previous analyses.

The series finale of “Game of Thrones” takes third place

The end of the manga series “The Promised Neverland” also seems to have caused disappointment. According to the “Daily Mail”, it lands in second place in the new study, ahead of the controversial ending of “Game of Thrones”. This caused a lot of attention and criticism in 2019. Fans are even calling for a new final season that “makes sense” via an online petition. However, their requests have not been heard.

The series “Killing Eve” came in fourth place in the analysis of the most disappointing series finale. It was followed by “Dexter”, “Two and a Half Men”, “Ragnarök” and “Power”. In ninth and tenth place were “Bloodline” and “MythBusters”, whose final episodes were also not well received by viewers.
