I felt the series ending was satisfying enough, for what it was. Somehow they managed to make me forget (or no longer care) *why* the whole departure happened in the first place. To me, that was a tall order because that question stuck in the back of my head the whole three seasons the show aired. Also, at first it seemed quite an ensemble cast, but as the show went on, the importance of other characters dropped off one by one, and the importance of Kevin and Nora continued to rise above everyone else. It was done smoothly enough -- and they managed to tie up the biggest loose ends with everyone else -- that it never had that same "WTF?" feeling that the last season of LOST had, for instance. Of course, they really WERE flying by the seat of their pants.
I've just started the book (mostly out of curiosity to see how different the storyline is), and the feeling and undertones are completely different, right from the start. We'll see if that difference continues throughout the book.
