About

On Finale Girls, writers Rachel and Mallika zero in on the end of TV shows — or at least, the end of seasons. A finale can be a thesis statement, a jaw-dropping twist, a cathartic goodbye or a total flop. With this lens, we examine storytelling, TV's evolution as a medium and our own relationship to the shows we love (and hate).
