Nick's John Hamm is so good. Mad Men was a cool series bc of the period the story line was in but the ending was terrible. Right up there with the ending to Dexter.
Mad men is worse, by the end of the show I hated every character except from Roger and Joan and they don't even get together. By the 5th series I was just watching it in a completionist sense. It was a struggle to keep watching by like S6 or S7. Dexter just had a bad last season.
@@d.jparer5184when ever I hear someone say “This popular mainstream good show had a terrible ending.” I always ask “what would be a good ending”. If you claim it’s bad then you should be able to know what a good ending is. Most of the time a good ending to them is all the main characters to go on and live a happy long life and every little detail is wrapped nicely. The mad men ending wasn’t that bad. Don Draper was a kinda a piece shit from the beginning, but got away with it because he’s “The Man” who wears a well fitted suit and has a way with words. You’re supposed to start to look down on a lot of the characters as the show, that is named Mad Men, start to go Mad. Some recover some don’t but the characters at least had some kind of character development that changed them. Everyone liked sterling. That’s the point of his existence in the show. He’s the ultimate wing man for the audience
@@d.jparer5184I think the worst part about the ending with Don Draper was his Epiphany while he was vulnerable at that rehab retreat place. A good cry and 2 men hugging at a AA meeting allowed him to let go of all the bad, sad, existential crisis thoughts
@@FuttBuckerByMutt I can name plenty of good endings. (Spoilers) 1) the UK office - wraps up the Tim and dawn 'will they, won't they?' dynamic in a downright iconic way. Immensely satisfying and incredibly well written and shot. One of the greatest love stories in TV history in my books. Also David Brent finally stops caring about what other people think about him and in doing so actually gains respect from his peers when he tells finchy to F off. 2) the wire - drives home the underlying theme of the show that drug crime is cyclical and is doomed to repeat. All characters from season 1 have a younger equivalent of themselves to take over by season 5. Sydnor is McNulty, Michael is Omar, duquan is bubbles, Greggs is bunk, Carver is Daniels, Marlo is a mix between Avon and stringer, partlow is weebay, McNulty is Lester freeman etc etc. The wire ended in 2008 and in 2024 I can still guess what all of the characters would be up to in Baltimore right now if they were actually real because we've already seen what happened to their older equivalents during the shows original run. 3) breaking bad - the consequences of Walt's actions throughout the show finally catch up with him, he accepts that he deserves to die and spends his last days alive setting up his family financially, freeing Jesse from captivity (his surrogate son and someone he really genuinely cared for) and avenging the deaths of Hank and Steve Gomez as well as the kid on the dirt bike that Todd shot by killing all the white power gang members. Walt had to die after poisoning Brock so it was fitting that he essentially did the right thing and then went out on his terms. 4) star trek: the next generation - in a time travel storyline we basically see what happens to the characters we love in the decades after the show ends. Picard retires an admiral and marries Dr crusher, worf is a famous Klingon diplomat, riker becomes a prominent Starfleet captain, Geordie marries Leia Braun and works at the daystrom institute, data becomes an extremely well respected lecturer and professor at Cambridge + finally becomes an expert in human emotions (implying he will soon be ready to get emotions himself from Dr sung's emotions chip). This future isn't perfect however but data explains that the future we have seen is only one particular possibility and that, if they all try extra hard then they can avoid some of the not so great things about that future i.e Deanna troi's death, crusher and Picard's divorce, the group losing contact and barely speaking to eachother etc. We end on a scene where Picard finally joins his bridge crew in a game of poker showing that his priorities have changed and that he is finally valuing human connection more than always being a paragon of virtue. Just like the ending of the wire, I've got a pretty good idea of what all of those characters would be doing 20/30 years after the show ends (if they were real people).
this is what the adam friedland show should’ve been
Big time
Antonio Brown is on the raiders
For those who want to bet a little to win a lot, try a parlay.
2:40 as a white Deshawn I never knew Adam would try to vouch for us existing I’m touched
It's Adam's time to shine!
Holy shit they predicted what actually just happened to the president
