Is it 2019?
Movies - Yeah, there are loads of sequels, as usual, but there are 3 franchise culminations: Avengers: Endgame - wraps up a 10 year, nearly 20 movie story Star Wars 9 - end of Skywalker saga - 42 years Toy Story 4 - will it ruin a perfect trilogy?
TV - so many great or seminal shows are wrapping up: Game of Thrones - stick the dismount and we’re talking best show ever. Veep: if you didn’t watch, you missed one of the best ensemble casts ever, and JLD put herself in company with Lucille Ball and Mary Tyler Moore Deadwood movie: holy shit, cocksucker! Orange is the New Black: way past its expiration date, but this show paved the way for netflix originals. Elementary: final season of the best Sherlock Holmes ever. Ruddo knows. Downton Abbey movie: my wife said this is a big deal. Stranger Things 3: Okay, this one isn’t wrapping up, but fuck you. I love this show.

What do you mean by “biggest?”
Fair question. I guess I mean I can’t think of a year where a larger amount of people have anticipated at least one major tv or movie event. Star Wars is arguably the most widely loved movie franchise ever. Over the last 10 years, has any cluster of movies meant more to more people than Marvel movies? As far as tv goes, GoT is one of those rare, seemingly universally anticipated, discussed, and analyzed series that has become a cultural phenomena, like Lost was. I didn’t mean best; originals will always drive that argument. I just can’t think of a previous year where the culmination of so many beloved and long-running stories is occurring. 2019 feels like a final chapter, and for middle-aged people like me, I can’t imagine I’ll ever be this invested in so many things that are coming to an end within months of each other.
