The series, then, tracks this error in short 30-minute chapters. The series was praised by the audience and critics for its dramatic turn at the end of the first season and for its tragicomic tone, which is sustained throughout the series.
The end has not been the exception, which has made it become a topic of the moment and that social network users from around the world tell how they cried during the last chapter. It is an unmissable ending.
3. Final episode of Bojack Horseman
Just one day after the end of The Good Place, another iconic end came to Netflix: the one in the animated series Bojack Horseman. Many were already waiting for the end of this series that has become a trend among young adults and that follows the misfortunes of Bojack, a horse that had once been a celebrity and now, in this existentialist narrative, descends and knows life after the glory.
Like The Good Place, it is also a comedy with a dramatic twist but in this case the series makes a total transition from comedy to drama without turning around. It is also an end to mourn with which many have felt moved.
