Ask HN: What Lived Up to the Hype?
Two finales:<p>- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. When the seventh book came out in 2007 there was this fear among the fandom that JK Rowling couldn&#x27;t deliver a great ending. I think most people agreed she did very well (even more than expected, considering the complexity of the story in the prior six books).<p>- Breaking Bad last season &#x2F; last episode: there aren&#x27;t many tv shows that can end in a high note (check Game of Thrones, for example). I think Breaking Bad - and in general, what separates the best tv shows from great tv shows - is that they are able to have a good ending.
