Nip/Tuck Series Finale (Spoilers)

I finally got around to watching the N/T series finale that I had DVR'ed.

Was anyone else depressed or bored by that ending?

I mean, these are characters who have spent 6 odd years doing everything they possibly can to screw their lives up and make themselves miserable. Suddenly, out of nowhere, they all seem to have found their ka and are moving towards it. Matt decides he wants to be with Ava, who's back after years away, and him and her and poor baby Jenna wander off into the sunset together. Kimber is mysteriously dead-but-not-dead. Sean's wife and children are conveniently sent away. Sean goes to Romania to start working with disadvantaged children. And Christian goes back to hound dogging.

It just seems like they all got exactly what they wanted, all of a sudden. Like Liz being pregnant and suddenly being made partner. Really? After all that time?

It didn't work for me. Personally, I think the show jumped the shark when they moved to LA. Miami was MUCH more interesting. The whole storyline about Sean being on TV was lame. And the crap about Julia being a lesbian (but oh NO she wasn't, because now she's marrying a guy, right, sure). And Christian getting it on with Kimber's MOM before the funeral? Ok, that one I believe, knowing the character.

What a disappointing series finale. Sigh.
