The final shots of popular serials

Perhaps even more than the full-length film, the series needs a perfect ending. But choose a final point that would satisfy everyone, incredibly difficult, too great a risk that the viewer, past along with the characters and the authors long way to be disappointed.

That's why is so important the last serial frame, a time before the final credits, which is imprinted in the brain forever, which would be associated with the memories of all the show as a whole. And call the perfect get away every finals - where there is not enough emotion, somewhere feel general fatigue, and some parting fails altogether, crossing out all the previous years of operation.

And yet, here are some shots that perfectly complete a great story. They are not always obvious, but more than touching - so it should be separation. But should warn - will be spoilers. Thousands of them!

"Twin Peaks" (1990) / Twin Peaks

Genre: Mystery / Drama / Thriller

Directed by: David Lynch, Lesli Linka Gletter and other

Starring: Kyle MacLachlan, Sherilyn Fenn, Lara Flynn Boyle, Joan Chen, Madhya Amick

TV series "Twin Peaks," came to an end two times, and both endings are very impressive, but to illustrate the perfect ending, we prefer the last frame of the second season, after which Cooper agent went into a long "vacation". We parted with the characters almost in mid-sentence, a question that goes nowhere. However, much worse than the phrase "How's Annie ?!" satanic laughter and Cooper, who was a quarter-century is destined to haunt loyal fans, reflection, show us in the bathroom mirror - instead of Cooper on the other side of the glass surface hides a smiling maniacally Bob terrible essence It is threatening the very existence of the universe.

The ending of the third season, of course, also not bad, but, alas, after Laura's cry they show even a mansion that some do not fit into our requirements.

"Weird" (1999) / Spaced

Genre: Comedy

Director: Edgar Wright

Starring: Jessica Hynes, Simon Pegg, Bill Bailey, Julia Deakin, Nick Frost

The creators of the British sitcom Spaced, referred to as the "Weird" in Russia, the "share space", had no idea that the 14th episode of the story would be the final, but the ending of the second and final season of the show perfectly drew a line around that has been shown to the audience before. We parted with unusual tenants Marsha Klein at the time when they were most vulnerable, but at the same time, Tim and Daisy found each other.

The final scene in which the characters are sitting embracing on the floor with the dog on your lap does not mean a happy ending, but anticipates a happy and exciting future. It is a pity that we did not see, because the will of the producers and writers moved out of this madhouse before the heroes of the series.

"Buffy - the Vampire Slayer" (1997) / Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Genre: Action / Drama

Directed by: Joss Whedon, James E. Kontner and other

Starring: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan, Anthony Head, James Marsters

Cult TV series "Buffy - the Vampire Slayer" Fade to Black frame in which the face of the heroine Sarah Michelle Gellar illuminates smile, but we offer just such an ending to remember - a group photo of girls, once again saved the world from destruction. Because the meaning of the ending is precisely this - Buffy is no longer alone, it is no longer only and not a select, next to it is now there are people who can be entrusted with the care of the universe.

Seven years of the Great Power was to burden the girls, and now fetters can be reset - the final frame means that Buffy would live not only to fight, but for themselves, for their own happiness. Is not that what we wish her all the years we spent together?

"Friends" (1994) / Friends

Genre: Comedy / Romance

Directed by: Gary Helvorson, Kevin Bright, and others

Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry

During the ten years of screen adventure heroes "Friends" series visited many interesting places, but the most funny and amazing things happened to them in the walls of the apartment of Monica, which audiences have long become perceived as something near and dear. That is why such a strong and leaves a painful sense of the final panorama, completing a cult series. We like along with the characters in the last look around at the place in which spent unforgettable hours and minutes, which experienced strong feelings and experienced heavy blows of fate.

Camera impartially examines the walls and furniture, runs on key left your favorite characters, and rests at the door, for which they had just left. We can only fill the empty frames Flag with memories of loyal friends, decorate our lives.

"Six Feet Under" (2001) / Six Feet Under

Genre: Drama

Directed by: Alan Ball, Daniel and other Etties

Cast: Frances Conroy, Rachel Griffiths, Freddy Rodriguez, Michael C. Hall, Peter Krause

By the final episode of the series "Six Feet Under", the authors came up with a tough luggage - all in one series they had to complete the story line a dozen major characters, but so as not to spoil the impression of the previous work. Did they? Most definitely yes - the ending of the series is considered one of the most successful, and the creators of the television black comedy even have time out to describe the future of their characters, and Claire went on a long way on the highway that goes beyond the horizon.

It is this magnificent landscape the story ends, linking the characters and the audience, but for Clare it is only the starting line, space is unlimited offers and opportunities to start life anew. The car races, the road goes into the distance, on the horizon of a single problem - it is not the end, this is just the beginning.

"The Sopranos" (1999) / The Sopranos

Genre: Drama / Thriller

Directed by Timothy Van Patten, John Patterson and others

Cast: James Gandolfini, Lorraine Bracco, Go Falco, Michael Imperioli, Dominic Chianese

Even ten years after its first release on the screens of the series finale of "The Sopranos" fans actively discussing the show - the final episode left in blackout in such an unexpected place, some felt that they had a problem with the antenna or incorrectly downloaded file.

The ending is really strong. Tony's family gathers at the diner, we expect a very important conversation, but at the time when almost all were assembled, the inlet bell rings restaurants, head of the family picks up on the door of the eye, and the story breaks. Is it Tony police or killed by rivals, and perhaps decisive shot has made one of his? We do not know. And no one knows. It turned out spectacular and ambiguous, like the rest of the series, which became classics even during his broadcast.

"The Wire" (2002) / The Wire

Genre: Drama / Thriller

Directed by: Ernest R. Dickerson, Joe Chappel and others

Starring: Wendell Pierce, John Domaines, Lance Reddick, Dominic West, Deirdre Lovejoy

Perhaps the most important crime series in television history, "The Wire" in the final was very stingy on emotion. But the dull end of the story can not be called - the final episode covered a lot of places, looked into the case of the set of characters, and summed up the scene a dozen branches. It is difficult to imagine how difficult it was to choose the authors show the final frame, but they coped with this problem perfectly - "The Wire" ends with a panoramic view of Baltimore.

Indeed, even though each spectator, and had the opportunity to choose their favorite character to your liking, behind every hero has always been a city with its special atmosphere, a recognizable profile and not with the incomparable scenery. Baltimore can rightly be regarded as the main hero of the series, with him and we say goodbye to the last.

"ER" (1994) / ER

Genre: Drama

Directed by: Anthony Edwards, Christopher Chulak and other

Cast: Anthony Edwards, George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, Noah Wyle, Laura Innes

In fairness it should be noted that not all who started watching the TV series "ER" back in 1994 or later, from the start, lasted until the finals - too strong changes have affected over 15 years and the cast of the drama and storylines, and even the general mood of the show. However, the final point of the authors of the popular series was a success - the final episode, on the one hand, finished the main story lines, and on the other - has shown that the work of doctors and nurses did not stop for a minute.

"ER" ends as it should be in the hospital of the big city: after a little calm and almost comical episode with a fight at a wedding sounds total collection signal carriage neotlozhek carry victims of the explosion. "Good-bye!": A good reason to say - by the way, the last frame of the first time we see a general view of the hospital

"Lost" (2004) / Lost

Genre: Detective / drama / adventure / thriller / fantasy

Directed by: Jack Bender, Stephen Williams and other

Cast: Jorge Garcia, Terry O'Quinn, Daniel Dae Kim, Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly

Finals mystical show "Lost", which has become a kind of catalyst for hobbies serials boom in modern Russia, still makes fans hoarse arguing about whether the right was the final plot twist. Indeed, not everyone liked the fact that the last frame of the authors literally divided by zero all previous six seasons and back to the starting point by giving all shown for the dying delirium.

But with a cinematic point of view of "Lost" ended perfectly, because few people remember that the pilot started the show with the same frame, but it Jack's eyes opened. Even if you are not accepted outcome, the last frame with a moist eye Sheppard, closed for the last time, he says that the hero found peace, a long-deserved. Then you can relax and to us.

"Breaking Bad" (2008) / Breaking Bad

Genre: Drama / Thriller

Directed by: Michelle MacLaren, Adam Bernstein and others

Cast: Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt

As was to end the series "Breaking Bad", the audience felt an extraordinary final, but at the same time realistic? We believe that Vince Gilligan broke over this issue head long before the command "Action!" Was given during the shooting of the final episode in the final scene.

Finals will receive a powerful and famously closing a dozen subplots, so tired Walter White could well afford to look around he created an "empire" and to leave this world for a few seconds before the police. I could have stories chemistry teacher, frightened of his death, to be the other end? Absolutely. But Walt chose a breathtaking way to Heisenberg's what gave us some unforgettable hours of experience at the TV screens.

"Justice" (2010) / Justified

Genre: Action / Drama / Thriller

Directors: Peter Werner, Michael Dinner and other

Starring: Timothy Olyphant, Nick Searcy, Jacob Pitts, Erica Tazel, Joelle Carter

Perhaps the series "Justice" - not the most important shows of the 2000s, but its final, sixth season does not the pinnacle of the narrative, but the ending of this crime drama turned out convincing and impressive. And especially the last minute, when we show how a few years after major events Reylan Givens finds Eva, but gives her word not to reveal her whereabouts Boyd. Then, the main character goes to an old friend in prison.

Last Frame gives you a feeling of true peace, because Givens lied and told Boyd that Eva died a long time and then smiled that same smile proprietary Timothy Olyphant, which attracted viewers to the screens of a long six years. Perhaps Reylan was not the best marshal in American history, but justice in his performance was truly unforgiving.

"Left" (2014) / The Leftovers

Genre: Mystery / Drama / Fantasy

Directed by: Mimi Leder, Carl Franklin and others

Starring: Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman, Christopher Eccleston, Chris Vein, Carrie Coon

The third season of the drama "Left" somewhat confused viewers - unlike the first two seasons of a ten, missed the final eight episodes, so that for a part watched unexpected ending came as a surprise. However, to get a nice surprise - during the previous series, we had to say goodbye to all the other heroes and come to the finish line with a single question about how the fate of Kevin and Nora. The fate of the characters had the uneasy, but their final conversation, and the camera's departure from the house, which for many years was hidden character, a beautiful sunset and pigeons simply adorable. If the previous series of astonishing drama losses talked about denial, anger, bargaining and depression, the last frame shows the final adoption. So necessary and heroes, and the audience.

"Americans" (2013) / The Americans

Genre: Mystery / Drama / Thriller

Directed by: Chris Long, Daniel and other Sekhaym

Cast: Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Noah Emmerich, Holly Taylor, Keydrich Sellati

Probably, many viewers would like to spy Philip and Elizabeth Jennings activities in Washington continued further, but the creators of the series "The Americans" have firmly decided from the outset that the story of their heroes will end with the end of the Cold War - the Soviet government and the United States have met each other, and the need for spies of the past is gone. Moreover, Jennings compromised themselves and discover their personality of the enemy, then they remained the only way out - an escape from America.

The final series was very emotional, it is impossible to watch without tears in the last conversation with his son Philip, the way was left on the platform Page. But the last frame of "Americans" is truly a knockout - returned to Moscow heroes look at the night city from the observation deck Sparrow, and while Lenin, the mountains. They survived, but the salvation of the family destroyed forever. Nothing is easier, but harder to come up with was impossible.
