M.A.N.T.I.S.
ended by having the hero and his love killed battling an invisible dinosaur from another dimension. By then, there was no budget for a full-scale dinosaur, so they were effectively killed by falling trees. The final scenes have the sidekick narrating about how he buried the hero and dismantled his lair.
I need to find this. I vaguely remember this show with a black super hero. I can't believe the series budget was in a place to end it like that. They should have just cancelled it with no ending.

24 might be the GOAT downer ending of a TV series
Audrey is dead, Heller soon won't even remember his daughter or how she died, a distraught Mark is going to prison, a guilt-ridden Kate resigns from the CIA, and Jack turns himself in to the Russians in exchange for Chloe, who has nothing or nobody to go home to, with a likely case of survivor's guilt added to it.
I can't believe they had the balls to end the show like that and I doubt they'll ever revisit the original series.
