Video stream selection: 8 successful series with a real ending!
It’s always the same story with the series: a friend gives us the pitch, the story seems great and then we get tired of the characters at the end of season 2 or 3. It even happens that it’s the series that is canceled or that she locks herself into too many stories that brings nothing. How many series like Lost Where heroes with their useless sub-plots? In this new selection, we have only selected the best series, but not just any series: the top of the basket, of course, but the top of the basket with an outcome. And then we will explain to you on which platform to watch these masterpieces…

The 8 best TV shows with a real ending
► The Sopranos
Let’s start directly with the best series of all time: The Sopranos. Broadcast on HBO from 1999 to 2007, this series tells the life of Tony Soprano, boss of the New Jersey mafia. High-class actors (James Gandolfini, Lorraine Bracco, Dominic Chianese, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli…), screenwriters who do not go to mushrooms and a cinematographic realization. 6 seasons of happiness.
Where to see The Sopranos ? : HBO Max is not available in France, the whole catalog is on OCS…
► The Wire
TheWire Where Bugged in VF, is a series of 5 seasons broadcast between 2002 and 2008 which plunges us into the war waged by the police against drug traffickers in the city of Baltimore. Each season centers on a different aspect of the city. Very well written and full of little details, it’s the best detective series and Obama’s favorite series! It was remastered in 2014, so you can watch it in 16:9 HD.
Where to see TheWire ? : It’s another HBO series, so it’s available on OCS in France.
► Breaking Bad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrcqbavlbyQ
Walter White is a penniless chemistry professor who is diagnosed with cancer. Rather than getting financial help from his wealthy friends, he decides to do drugs with a former student. Excellent for 6 seasons.
Where to see breaking Bad ? : On Netflix! You can also watch the movie The Camino which ends the “Pinkman” arc.
► Better Call Saul
This series derived from breaking Bad tells the story of crooked lawyer Saul Goodman when he was still called Jimmy McGill. It is both a prequel, but also a sequel since we can see what happens to Jimmy after his collaboration with Walter. A must see.
Where to see Better Call Saul ? : As breaking Bad. On Netflix.
► Roma
Another HBO masterpiece. This historical series which makes you live the end of the Roman republic and the advent of the empire has only 2 seasons, but what a slap! We will find a James Purefoy in Marc Antoine and a Ciaran Hinds in Caesar, but it is in fact Kevin McKidd and Ray Stevenson who interpret the two “heroes” of the 13th legion: Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo.
Where to see Rome? : Another HBO series that you will find exclusively on OCS.
► The Americans
In the USA of the 80s, a family spies for the USSR. Born in America, the two children do not know that dad / mom are KGB agents who only dream of making the motherland triumph. Not easy when the neighbor works for the CIA. Great.
Where to see The Americans ? : You can watch The Americans on Disney+…
► Boardwalk Empire
In 1920s Atlantic City, Nucky Thompsom (Steve Buscemi) makes money with his casino, but he mainly reigns over the traffic in contraband alcohol in the midst of prohibition. He will cross paths with Meyer Lansky, Arnold Rothstein, Al Capone or Lucky Luciano…
Where to see Boardwalk Empire ? :HBO=OCS!
► Chernobyl
5 episodes only, but a nice summary of what was the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. We see at the same time the heroism of the people who participated in limiting the damage and the coldness of the Soviet bureaucracy. Very good.
Where to see Chernobyl ? : Another HBO series. I promise, it’s not done on purpose…
