The Ringer has ranked the 40 best TV finales of the 21st century, with Deadwood, Late Show With David Letterman, Schitt's Creek, Frasier, and Catastrophe making the list. The ranking was made with pure quality in mind rather than commercial factors like audience size or impact.

The list also includes series that aired for only one season and series finales that stretched over the course of multiple episodes.
