How come that landing the ending is so hard for so many series but rarely for movies.
Well, for one thing, for movies they write one script from start to finish and are able to either naturally progress towards an end (often already having the end in sight from the beginning). For series, they may have the premise and the first season or couple of seasons broken out, but not necessarily be geared towards a main ending (depending on the series) until they reach the final season and may have to start scrambling for an ending, which is what I felt might've happened with Ozark.
@mansemat "How come that landing the ending is so hard for so many series but rarely for movies." for one simple reason, movies only have 1-2 hours of content to tie up, whereas tv shows usually have a minimum of 10 hours, sometimes 100 hours, and there are so many loose ends that have to be tied together to do it properly. Avoiding plot holes and making actions make sense is challenging. Not defending bad endings, just stating that it is much more complex than we non-show-producers give them credit for.

How come that landing the ending is so hard for so many series but rarely for movies. We had a major cliffhanger at the beginning of the first part of this season which ended up being a red herring. Is it because we can't let "the bad guy" win or are they really considering every viewer and want to please all making it suck for even more of 'm.
Killing Ruth so late in the game was pointless. Same with Navarro really since he gets replaced by someone who most likely is even worse. And then they pull this Sopranos ending at the end? To prove what? How a kid shoots either an honorable man or his parents or that he shoots in the air for no reason in particular. In what book is this a good ending? Nothing is resolved, nothing is cleared up, it doesn't end even though it ended. Pointless second half of a season from a great show with the biggest cunt I've ever witnessed in a series (Yes Wendy "I got what I wanted to all of a sudden I'm sane again and everyone loves me" Byrde).
Maybe there isn't a good ending, but this certainly was the lamest way to end it.
