What Are the Critics Saying about The End?
The End has an official critics rating of 76% and an average audience score of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. Viewers are pleased by how the series deftly balances the grim subject of death with humor.
Boston Globe’s Matthew Gilbert says, “The story lines are dense — too dense, at times — with issues of death, but the comedic moments are a great relief and the acknowledgments of all the absurdities of life and suffering are heartening.”
Candice Frederick from TheWrap writes, “Where The End does succeed is how it complicates already complex conversations around life and death… For that, and the graceful way it centers an imperfect family in many ways on the fringe, it’s an engrossing watch.”
