The most memorable TV series finales ever - Careful, spoilers!

What are the most memorable series finales in the history of television? Is the 'Sons of Anarchy' finale among them, or 'Game of Thrones'? Decide for yourself with this list of fantastic TV endings. But be aware: it's full of spoilers.

Mulder is sentenced to death for murdering a military man in a government facility, but Skinner helps him escape with Scully to Mexico. There they meet the Smoker, who tells them about the conspiracy and gives them the date of the alien invasion. The truth remains out there.

This finale was already announced at the beginning of the series. Walter White was terminally ill and condemned from the first minute of 'Breaking Bad.' In the finale, he says goodbye to his family, liberates Jesse and terminates the competition before dying with police sirens in the background. An amazing ending.

Thousands of fans asked for a do-over of this final season. Why? Instead of the contenders Cersei, Sansa, Jon, or Arya, it was Bran Stark who ended up being the King of the Six Kingdoms. They waited for eight seasons for a finale that pleased hardly anyone.

'Mad Men' seemed to move towards a tragic end for its main character Don Draper. After all, he had said goodbye to three important women in his life: Peggy, Sally, and Betty. Yet, the series ended with Draper taking an unexpected spiritual retreat. Curious and strangely uneasy.

The worst thing about the 'Lost' finale was not the episode itself. You could like it or not. What was most annoying after six seasons of riddles and enigmas in the series, was that many of them remained unsolved. It was as if the writers had not really made an effort. In short, a mess-up that wrote TV history as the most controversial series finale.

A spectacularly open ending. What started with hints of massacre, ended with nothing but the sound of the restaurant bell ringing and Meadow entering the place. What happened next, we'll never know.

In the end, Dan Humphrey is Gossip Girl. Few people bet on him as Cotilla Queen. The last scenes take a five-year leap in which we see Blair and Chuck happily married and parenting Henry, Dan and Serena about to get married, and Nate, single, opting to be mayor.

The real series finale of 'Prison Break' was the end of the first season. Everything that came afterwards was like chewing on bubble gum for too long. That said, resurrecting Sarah Tancredi was the worst mistake the show could have ever made.

If the main message of six smart seasons is that growing up means becoming a mother, maybe the series wasn't so smart after all. Or maybe it was just the finale that missed the mark.

Did Nora really travel to the other side? Who cares? In the end love triumphed and she and Kevin meet again. Years later they seal their strange relationship forever. The final chapter is a delight.

An emotional final chapter in which House fakes his death in order to spend the last months of his life with Wilson. If he hadn't, he would have spent them in jail.

No one expected that the most irreverent comedy of the 90s would end with the main characters in jail. Or did we? The fact that they did time for laughing at someone is funnier than all of the nine seasons together.

A last game of poker determines the fate of each of the Desperate Housewives of Wisteria Lane. Lynette moves with Tom to New York; Gaby and Carlos move to California; Bree ends up as a senator for Kentucky; and Susan leaves with her children and granddaughter. She takes one more look at Wisteria Lane, where characters of the eight seasons, such as Mike Delfino and Mary Alice Young, appear once more.

The series finale of Chernobyl is actually shown at its beginning: Valeri Legasov (Jared Harris) takes his own life. Six episodes later, we know that he was in fact the real hero of the story, as he avoided that all of Europe suffer from the nuclear disaster. He takes his life two years after the explosion of the nuclear reactor, at exactly the same time of the explosion.

A cruel ending, at least that of the first season. After looking for Laura Palmer's killer the whole time, they let Agent Cooper get shot just when he finds out who the killer is.

Five seasons of dramatic athletics which oddly enough had a satisfying ending: each character achieved its personal goals.

To go from being a perfect serial killer to a hermit in the mountains of Oregon; an ideal ending to 'Dexter'. Or was it? Well, they also chose to make no fewer than eight seasons to get there, and that wasn't necessary either.

The final episode shows how all the characters of the Fisher family come to their endings. Claire is the last character in the series finale. She sees an elevator in which supposedly the rest of her family awaits her.

Ashton Kutcher never reached the level of Charlie Sheen, and that's why the series finale ended with Charlie himself. Or at least, in the form of an animation. He dies from being crushed by a falling piano. At that point, Chuck Lorre, the series' creator, comes out laughing at Charlie's comic death, just to find another piano crushing him too.

'30 Rock' gave the audience two finales in one. On the one hand, there is the actual finale of the series, and on the other, the finale of the show that they are making within the series. A marvelous ending.

With Frank Underwood out of the way, there were only two interesting characters left: Claire and Doug. There just had to be a confrontation with one of them dying. Doug is the unlucky one, and Claire triumphs in the series least relevant season of all.

It turns out that 'How I Met Your Mother' spent nine seasons telling a story which boilt down to the following: "Boys, your mother died six years ago, can I go out with Robin." But still, the ending was happier than expected.

The end of one of the best series in history is a complicated message about Baltimore: no matter what happens, there will still be crime in the city.

This monumental sitcom ended its tenth season, curiously, with a crying fest the likes if which we hardly ever saw. The six protagonists are in Monica and Rachel's emtpy flat, hugging and remembering the ten years that passed in there.

After defeating the Cylons, humans are sent by Starbuck to a new home, where they agree to leave their technology behind and live primitive lives. It turns out that the planet they go to is Earth. An unexpected ending that leaves a strange aftertaste.

A bittersweet finale for the AMC series. Professionally things did not work out for Cameron and Donna, but on a personal level both of them grew with every season. The series leaves us with a satisfied feeling.

This was one of the shows that started the boom in series. Willow performs a spell that turns all the protagonists into murderers. The following sequence of events makes television history.

A round ending to a rounded comedy. Is it so bad that each character gets what they've been looking for? Well, that's what happened at the end of this series.

After a spectacular battle against the vampires and Dracula, the plot focuses on Vanessa Ives and her beloved Ethan Chandler. The long awaited reencounter ends in tragedy, with her asking him to kill her, so that Satan does not continue to claim her. One of the best female characters of the 21st century dies with her.

The end of the series could only come with the death of Jax Teller, and so it did. However, it is not Chibs who kills him after giving him the president's patch. Instead, it is the protagonist himself who takes his life, throwing himself against a truck drived by Michael Chiklis.

As it could not be otherwise, Captain Picard starred in the farewell of the series. He learns that Q is still testing the human race and that he has placed Picard in three different epochs of his life. The finale shows a journey through the entire series, including Picard's future.

Sheldon and Amy win the Nobel Prize. Penny gets pregnant. And last but not least, the one key element at the end of this tremendous comedy is that the elevator of the building where they live is finally fixed.

When everything seems solved and the story seems to have come to its conclusion, Robin Griffin realizes that, in reality, half the police department is involved in the child abuse scheme. The second ending is shocking and very well played.

Robert Downey Jr's exit was a disaster for the series. Bon Jovi nor Christina Ricci or even Matthew Perry managed to draw the viewers back in. Ally McBeal ends up leaving the firm to move to New York, where her daughter's friends are.

What was an ending has become a starting point with the new episodes of the series. The plot flies 25 years ahead and shows the adult protagonists in their daily lives, playing themselves. All that's missing is Luke Perry, who was honored in the first chapter.

Jennifer Garner's pregnancy adds to the plot of the series, in a fifth season that serves to return to the places that it passed in the previous four.
