    The best
    A great series ended with a great episode. Hats off to the writer especially for writing this amazing series. It's called a TV novel for this reason. The way it dwells upon the viewers is fantabulous. The series was moving, gripping, cunning in it's own way. The slowness is its greatness. The finale is really really good. This is the best season of all times along with the sopranos, hats off. The pillars of TV
