A series that does not end happily
For balance, Endless Love is widely described as having a heavy, tragic ending, which is part of why it is so memorable. If you prefer a happy finish, save it for a time when you are ready for it, and read our Endless Love review first.
How to find a happy ending without spoilers
- Start with romantic comedies. The genre leans toward happy endings, although there are exceptions. Browse the romantic comedy list.
- Avoid epics with tragic reputations. Sweeping, award-winning dramas often end with loss.
- Check whether the series is finished. An early-cancelled series may end abruptly, so a happy ending is less certain.
- Search for the ending, not the plot. Phrases like "is the ending happy" usually give you the answer without a full recap.
- Choose shorter series. A short, complete run tends to resolve its main story in a satisfying way.
