it was really well written though, and the characters were deep and complex and resembled actual people. At least in the first seasons.. Most series (in the past and nowadays) are written like garbage to appeal to the most common denominator as quick and cheap as possible

I feel most shows have been pretty good, severance, the bear, for all mankind, chernobyl, sharp objects, at least with HBO and apple shows

I absolutely hated the ending.

I didn't like the ending upon first watch, but found myself thinking about it afterwards and contemplating what may have happened after the screen went black. Had they wrapped it up cleanly it would have been more satisfying at the time but I would not have given it much thought after.
