    It’s the delta again homie…

    These are the finalies that over performed series average by the largest magnitude.

    A show that was 9.0 season average and a perfect 10/10 for the finales would have a delta of 1.0

    Well below the 1.4 delta number 35 has on this list, despite having a “perfect” finale.

    Like. #2 is a 9.1 and #35 is 9.3

    So #35 is a better final than #2 on your list of best finalies.

    Haha, the Picard show season 1 and 2 were so terrible. And 3 was only good because a ton of fan service.

    The Good Place had a high rated finale? That surprises me. I liked the series but the last season especially towards the end was quite meh. They manoeuvred themselves into a corner that was difficult to get a satisfying end out of and I don’t think they succeeded. But seems like I am alone with that opinion.

      I agree with your assessment of Picard, but haha yeah you’re alone in that opinion of the Good Place. I recently rewatched/binged the whole series again and I found the overall story arc held together well, with a clear vision throughout. My criticism of it would be against the points where they tried to be too slapstick or absurdist because HuMouR plus some minor filler that could have been trimmed. The ending, though, was a natural culmination of the themes they talked about, and I thought it was poignant and beautiful and suited the rest of the content. It wasn’t perfect but whenever the subject of finales or series endings come up the Good Place is held up as an example of how it’s done.

    So what episode of the Golden Girls did everyone hate?

    Edit: I googled it and it was because it was a crappy spin off pilot

    Which TNG episode is that really poorly rated one roughly 30% into the run?

    EDIT: From the looks of the graph, it’s the season 2 finale. And when reading up on that episode, it’s a clip show hacked together to save on money, due to earlier episodes having gone over budget.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_Gray_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)

    “Shades of Gray” is widely reviled as the worst-ever Next Gen episode, with good reason. This isn’t an episode that makes anyone look good, and I don’t just mean Pulaski, Troi or LaForge – I mean the writers, director and producers of the series. Even Marina Sirtis and Diana Muldaur seem to be trying too hard to make the paper-thin storyline work, over-emoting and making absurd faces. The only person who deserves any kudos is Jonathan Frakes, who somehow manages to keep Riker his usual charming self."

    Ah Six Feet Under, what a beautiful finale that was, and back when everyone watched it as it was broadcast. Good memories.
