9 TV Shows That Ended On Infuriating Cliffhangers

Everyone loves a good cliffhanger. When a TV episode ends on a nail-biting, unresolved ending, it’s a surefire way of getting the audience to tune back in next week (or load up the next episode on Netflix, as the case as may be). Sometimes an ambiguous ending to an entire show can be more satisfying than a clear full stop.

Everyone loves a good cliffhanger. When a TV episode ends on a nail-biting, unresolved ending, it’s a surefire way of getting the audience to tune back in next week (or load up the next episode on Netflix, as the case as may be). Sometimes an ambiguous ending to an entire show can be more satisfying than a clear full stop.

However, there are many occasions when TV shows have ended on cliffhangers that are just plain frustrating. Due to a flawed decision from the creators or because it was cancelled after the episode was made, these shows did not resolve themselves in any way, instead offering up lots of new questions rather than answers.

On that note, here are nine TV shows whose endings left with us with infuriating unresolved plot threads. As always, if you have another one you’d like to add, let us know in the comments section.

Oh, and needless to say, spoilers for numerous shows will follow.
