Reddit user determines rankings of series finales

I found this interesting.

Being lazy-- and trying to give credit to where I found the info in the first place-- here's the link to an Entertainment Weekly story about a Reddit user who used iMDb scores to determine the "best
and "worst" series finales.

So yeah, EW, went for "most disappointing", but the info is so much more than that.

Normally, I wouldn't bother posting this because I have issue with a lot of such lists, but this one is pretty close to how I feel-- and seems to also line-up well with the tone of "pop culture" fans and critics.  Like with everything, someone could find something to pick apart in this (the biggest thing is the use of only one website's ratings; and, of course, more recent series get a little bump), but it's pretty good. A lot of work was put into it.

If you like TV, it's worth checking out.
