I think Nate was hard to like at times, pretty much because he was kind of an #####, but he had moments where his inner kindness did come out, like when he came back to work with David after the latter was having trouble adjusting following the carjacking. And the scene where they bury Nate is just soul-crushing.
(I watched SFU after Dexter), but Michael C. Hall did a fantastic job playing him, and I think Hall's natural charisma helped make David that much more likable.
Loved the show, but couldn't stand Brenda or any of her family.I think Nate was hard to like at times, pretty much because he was kind of an #####, but he had moments where his inner kindness did come out, like when he came back to work with David after the latter was having trouble adjusting following the carjacking.

And I think David was very likable. It was weird at first to see Dexter kissing guys
All in all, while all of the main characters were deeply flawed, as we all are, I found it easy to root for most of them.
It was awesome, and maybe that's because most shows just "end". Maybe they tie up immediate Plot lines but they don't give us the end of the characters we have grown to like/love. I always thought that ER would have done well to show us what happened to the main characters. But whatever.I don't think I have seen a series finale as good as SFU, especially the final montage. Fantastic way to end a series.
That family was ####ed up. I did enjoy Brenda's slutty ways, almost had an airport moment like the pilot on Monday and SFU was the first thing that popped in my mind, I even asked her if she had ever seen the show as my segue to "lets find a place to f". I'm guessing we do not need spoiler tags in here, the scene in the finale montage with Brenda and her brother was hilarious. He literally bored her to death with his whining.Loved the show, but couldn't stand Brenda or any of her family.I think Nate was hard to like at times, pretty much because he was kind of an #####, but he had moments where his inner kindness did come out, like when he came back to work with David after the latter was having trouble adjusting following the carjacking.

I found David and Ruth both too whiny. I'll admit that many of the scenes with David and Keith made me uncomfortable. I agree that Brenda's entire family was difficult to like. Claire and Nate were both good but they were often in relationships with idiots. I did really like Maggie (George's daughter) near the end.That family was ####ed up.

Almost put Brenda on Mt Rushmore. Such a great loathsome character. Though oddly, Maggie bugged me more and was arguably even more loathsome for ####### Nate while Brenda was pregnant.Loved the show, but couldn't stand Brenda or any of her family.I think Nate was hard to like at times, pretty much because he was kind of an #####, but he had moments where his inner kindness did come out, like when he came back to work with David after the latter was having trouble adjusting following the carjacking.

I don't think Brenda's mom in particular was supposed to be likable. She was entertaining because of the crazy #### she said, though.Loved the show, but couldn't stand Brenda or any of her family.I think Nate was hard to like at times, pretty much because he was kind of an #####, but he had moments where his inner kindness did come out, like when he came back to work with David after the latter was having trouble adjusting following the carjacking.

Thanks - just watched and that was pretty good. The shows aren't comparable to me but again I stopped watching SFU so not really fair for me to judge it.
Uh, yeah.
That was just the capper. I thought the final couple episodes were great as a whole, but that final montage was an absolute perfect ending to a series.
SFU was more than just the montage. The montage was the highlight but the entire episode was very good.
Wow, that's a brutally descriptive metaphor. I disagree with you, but I love the way you said it.

I liked SFU better, but a lot of what made it great was in some of the more abstract (art show in the pyramid) and emotional moments. BB was a much tighter narrative and was like the ultimate kickass popcorn entertainment. Two different art forms really. SFU had the superior finale and I also give it the nod for how the story was wrapped up. The two best, no doubt. But from Singing for Our Lives on, especially Ecotone, is some of the heaviest stuff youll see in moving pictures. All due respect to Oxymandias.
Fwiw, I dont think it really makes sense to judge a multi-year project on it's very last episode. Showing what happens after and as a result of the climax is more important than having a great final episode. To judge on that seems a bit irrelevant to me.
I came up with a crackpot theory that Walt died in the car at the bar in New Hampshire and the final episode was his fever dream as he was dying.
