The Perfect Ending
ShamrockZac5 May 2023
What a way to wrap this show - in a way the entire thing came full circle from the beginning. It felt like everything we needed to wrap up and tie with a bow happened. And most of all - this was the most precious and beautiful reminder to cherish and love those closest to us.

It's been a long time since I (a grown man) have openly weeped through an entire episode of a show. And yet, I could not stop the tears from flowing. Great job to the writers, producers and actors. This was the perfect ending to a really incredible show. Now I need to go invite all my friends over for an incredible meal, drinks and conversation.

"Oh and mijo, have a beautiful life."

A Million Little Things we love about Gary
topherfischer5 May 2023
This episode was the perfect ending to a beautiful show about what it takes to be there for friends and family when they needed them the most. There's a million little things I love about this show. How the characters dynamic constantly shifts focus and points their attention to each character indivudually is a pleasant feeling knowing there is no leading character. How you can watch the characters and feel like you are in the room with them is not an easy task to accomplish. Not only does this show resonate, this episode will fill you with laughter, tears and a warm fuzzy feeling. Thank you for a terrific ending to a terrific show.

Amazing ending
mccabe-shannon5 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So let me first start out by saying I'm a crier. Bladder too close to the eyes as my dad would say. I feel things very deeply. This was perfect. The only thing I wish would have been an ending of the elevator.

I have not cried that hard in years. It's beautiful, it's poignant, it cases self reflection. It was so beautifully done.

I will miss my friends. A lot of this season felt a bit just like filler so I didn't know what to expect but in the final episode everything gets just closed. Not full wrapping up. Not whole discussions. It just. Good. If that makes sense. More reflective of real life.

You'll Need Tissues

As if the entire series didn't take us on an emotional roller-coaster, the final episode did, as well. In fact, this episode left me with burning, red eyes from crying and I'll probably never be the same.

Gary has been my favorite since day one, so I was absolutely gutted when the fate of his character changed. I would've even loved a Gary spin-off series. I am pleased that his character, as painful as it was to watch, got to go on his own terms. It was as thought-provoking as I'll get out. However... WHY did they have to include a closeup of Collin whimpering with a tear in his eye. That just BROKE me.

It was so sweet to see teenage Javi watching the videos his dad left behind for him. Also to see good things happening for the other characters. The icing on the cake was the friendship that started it all now has their own boys continuing on the "Band of Dads" legacy. Perfect way to end the series.

Best Ending
Best ending to one of the best dramas I'd seen in a long time. I always felt connected to every character in some way. I love how the show always caused me to reflect on situations in my own life, what's really important, and also made me tear up during many episodes. I only remember doing that at the ending of Field of Dreams and this last episode had all the feels. I will miss the show but I'm so glad I got to watch it and even more glad that the final episode really brought everything together one last time. I'm very grateful for my own friends, many of whom are also like family and it was wonderful to experience one more little thing of a million little more.

Beautiful Series Finale
axcar28 May 2023
One of the best series final episodes I have ever seen!

So many things I've loved about this show throughout the series were present in this final season and especially in the final episode. Beautiful in every way and thank you for including all the characters so we weren't left wondering.

The recurring message of showing up for your people no matter what they're going through and no matter the reason, really resonates in this final season and certainly in full blown beauty in the final episode. The friends that are family is who we are there for and who are there for us always.

Love love love...

Sad but beautiful
tt-stingray9 May 2023

This made it worth watching all seasons.

The writers accomplished something extraordinary: they brought the series to a good and satisfying end. Like life itself the series had its ups and down and you could argue about some cringe moments, but at the end everything is good. What else could you hope for?

Season 1 started extremely strong with the premise to show how strong the bonds of friendship could be. Then it slowly lost its tracks but the last season came back with force and this last episode was so sad, beautiful and hopeful at the same time, that I could only recommend watching all 6 seasons with the knowledge that all is good at the end.

One Big Ending
secret_arash21 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I have loved A Million Little Things from the very first few moments of its Pilot episode and although I admitt it had its ups and downs but I never stopped loving it. This is actually my favorite genre for TV shows. The story of the love among a group of people, family or friend, and the hardships they conquer together. Like This Is Us and Parenthood, I believe A Million Little Things is among the best in this regard. I love it even more since despite those other shows, it is about complete strangers who became friends with each other by accident and Little by little their love for one another grew bigger and bigger.

The first two seasons of the show were absolutely brilliant. However, due to the Pandemic and some other difficulties it went through a couple of ruff seasons were it occasionally lost its main path. Yet, it was very much enjoyable for me to watch the relationships in this friend group. Also, let's not forget the amazing job the show did in supporting all the kinds minority groups it introduced. Of course, the main focus of the show was on depression and cancer for which I have never seen a better effort for creating hopeful and supportive content on TV.

Now, to the Finale itself, I considere it as one of the top 10 Finales of television history and don't believe anyone could have done a better job in concluding every characters arc as fantastic as the writer did. On top of all was of course Gary who was the best part of the show and I think got one the best deaths I have ever seen in any movies or shows. So well done to the writers and actors.

I'm seriously gonna miss this show and this friend group but every good thing has to end because if doesn't you never know how good it was.

Beautiful

The writers did a fantastic job dealing with death. The friendships - old and new - were highlighted in such a caring manner. We held off watching it until three weeks after it aired - well ... because we didn't really want to "deal with it." We knew Gary was going to die. We even knew how. It was handled in such a beautiful way. Highlighting the old friendships - Jon, Rome, Eddy, and Gary. The new friendships. The kids friendships. The video Gary made for his son's 16th birthday. Yes ... the episode was very sad, but at the same time it was happy. Friends remembering their "leader" and "brother." We, the viewers, couldn't ask for a better series ending. HOPE! Hope is alive ...
