It’s so hard to say goodbye. But we’ll have to, at least when it comes to these 10 TV shows. It’s tough because the characters in these series have become as dear as family and friends to us. We don’t want to see their story arcs end, their legacies fade from memory, or (God forbid) take their last breaths on screen. Alas, we have no choice but to honor the fallen and hope that the creative geniuses in Hollywood come up with some new, addictive entertainment fast so we can get over our collective heartbreak. Here are the TV series we’ll have to say so long to in 2020. Gather your tissues. It’s OK to cry.
