There are few things worse than being so invested in a TV couple after multiple seasons of buildup, only for them to crash and burn in the final season.

Unfortunately for us romance lovers, it’s not an uncommon occurrence for a show to drop the ball with one (or several) of its endgame couples. Maybe they nearly got their happy ending, only for it to be yanked away by one of their untimely deaths. Or their fire was simply snuffed out after their arc went on for a beat too long. Maybe their downfall was simply a result of poor writing, which took their romance in a direction that made zero sense.
