The Sopranos (2007)
The lead-up to the HBO drama's exit from the airwaves after 86 episodes was intense: would Tony, after seasons of whacking others, finally get whacked himself? But that was nothing compared to the fallout. Nearly 12 million viewers tuned in on June 10, 2007 to see how the series would end — and then it didn't. Not really, anyway; after a fiendishly tense final scene featuring the Soprano family in a diner, the screen famously cut to black, leaving critics and fans alike to speculate about what really happened.
