Perfect finale!

I wasn't sure how they would tie everything for this series up in less than an hour, but they managed to do it perfectly. I was crying the last 15 minutes and smiling and laughing at the same time- that is how you end a comedy show (with big messages underneath). I am sad for all the people who didn't give this brilliant show a chance, and yet envy them for he say they decide to watch the whole thing. Yes, at first the show seemed a bit annoying and had what seemed u lovable characters, but man do they grow on you! As does the story.

They didn't have to show the HBO documentary the fantastic Jane was working on, they didn't have to show us "Seeing Red", they didn't even show us Valerie winning the Emmy and taking the stage. They found a way to tie up the theme of the whole show with one beautiful moment of Valerie leaving it all behind for the two most important men in her life. It was especially moving knowing that the man who played the incredible Mickey passed away in real life last year.

Season one was great, season two was unbelievably perfect. As much as I would selfishly love a season three to see where Val goes next, this ending was such a delight it's okay to leave it here. Plus Val without Mickey would be very sad for the fans!

This was my favorite episode right after "Valerie in the desert" where three times I laughed so hard I was crying. And then crying for real at the end when they showed what's Valerie's note said.

What a show! 10/10 for sure.

"Red, I'm scared..."

I finally managed to get Season 2 on DVD here in the UK and am blown away with how mindblowingly good it is.

Season 1 was excellent but S2 takes it up a gear and makes The Comeback so good there is actually no word to describe how good it actually is!

Cancer, snakes, heroin, RuPaul, Seth Rogen. Sounds insane but every single second makes 100% sense.

Just bawled my eyes out during the last 20 minutes of the final episode. An episode packed with so much funny AND a whole lotta sad yet it never seems forced or dull or stupid.

It was the perfect finale. It was the perfect show. Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King have created one of the best television shows ever made.

Valerie Cherish is due another "comeback" and she will be welcomed back with open arms.

Thank you to everyone involved in making The Comeback, both in front of and behind the cameras, thank you for making such a beautiful show.

I will be sad if we never see Valerie Cherish again, but happy if the final episode of S2 is the last one ever as it really is a magnificent piece of television and what a beautiful way to end The Comeback.
