    This show is amazing

    I really liked this finale even more thin comedy fan. The way they wrapped everything up was almost perfect. I did feel like it left me wondering about some of the main players. Will, Homer, AJ and how is Jimmy's yacht selling buisness going? Its understandable that they had to leave a few thing out with the show getting cancelled earlier than expected. Its sad to see it go but at least there are still fans out there keeping it alive with awsome podcasts.

    Perfect ending

    The ending is perfect. It would have been so great to see this all happen in another season but for an ending, it was perfect that way. That we got to see everything happen that we hoped for in the end. Watching it still always makes me cry again and again. I love this show. One of the very best ever.

    The Finale is Perfection

    I just binged this series. I unfortunately did not watch it when it aired (which was when I was actually in high school myself lol) but I am definitely glad that I have now. I think this last season in general was so fun compared to the others. It's darker at times, but also quirckier. The finale wraps up amazingly with a fitting and happy ending for all the characters! I loved it and it unexpectedly made me cry happy tears and that does not happen too often lol!

    OMFG

    Spent the last 3 months watching the series. Didn't watch it when it aired. The 10 minutes I was crying like a baby! What a great ending!

    simply one of the best

    finally after a dragged on season 4 the makers managed to give The OC a satisfying ending...even though the earthquake occurring in new port beach din make much of a sense initially....the following episodes did once again remind me of how beautiful The OC was in the beginning(season 1 nd 2). season 4 had become kind of weird with characters like Che being introduced unnecessarily...but once more the last episode pulled it off brilliantly by throwing light on all characters and reminding us of what they actually were as they had lost their uniqueness for which they are so popular,...just wish the final season 4 cud have been better but kudos to the makers for a great episode that tied up all the loose ends and gave the viewers a treat, a boon of an episode as a season finale!!!
