Last Season, Best Season (1 Viewer)

thought this might be an interesting topic for discussion: name a show whose final year was its best. could be an extremely short thread, given that most series will run out of steam before they're over...

First series that immediately came to mind was Fringe.

While I loved just about every episode through its five year run, the final season really does have a satisfying payoff to the story line that was the basis for the 2nd half of the series.

The last season of Better Call Saul managed to pay off alot of buildup and anticipation from two different and great series.

Closest I can think of right now is Angel. On the one hand, I want to say season 4 was the best, but since it was highly serialized, it's hard to go back to individual episodes. Season 5 was much more episodic, and there is a stretch of 5 episodes where 4 of them are among my top favorites. (The 100th episode, Smile Time, and the two parter with Illyria.)

I don’t know if I’d pick Angel, but I do remember being knocked out by the episode “You’re Welcome.”
