"Brace yourself for six weeks of relentless itemizing as Game of Thrones chugs its way toward what will be the mother of all checklist finales," says Daniel Fienberg. "Not since Lost have fans headed into the last season of a show with quite so many questions they need answered and resolutions they need imposed. A checklist finale will always face incredible scrutiny from viewers, but at least it allows showrunners to eye a rhetorical finish line. If you take a show without questions as a show without required answers, you can also take a show without required answers as a show without a clear destination, which sounds scary, yet opened the door for a trio of wonderful shows to end in the past two weeks on their own terms. Just because Broad City, You're the Worst and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend didn't have mysteries they needed to resolve doesn't mean that each show's planned finale — kudos to Comedy Central, FX and The CW for giving their respective creators the opportunity to chart their preferred course home — arrived without accompanying emotional pressure, as opposed to narrative pressure." ALSO: You're the Worst's finale was the perfect -- and perfectly ambitious -- sitcom ending.
