Last‑Episode Betrayals: Stories Ruined by Their Final Act
These dramas pulled me in with strong storytelling, emotional depth, and epic arcs—only to take a sharp turn in the final episode.
Whether through tonal whiplash, sudden narrative shifts, or an out-of-place 'happy' ending, something in the last act just didn’t sit right.
No spoilers, just a warning: brace yourself for an ending that might leave you blinking at the screen.
