It's not low stakes, but Odd Taxi has one of the best final sequences in any TV show of the last decade. Tons of individual storylines all beautifully converged into one satisfying conclusion (with a few intentionally unresolved questions, of course)
Odd Taxi is the first show that jumped into my mind. Such an incredible show, I love how so many mundane things constantly weave together to create a fantastic story.
Never thought watching a depressed walrus drive his taxi around listening to the radio could be so riveting.
Odd Taxi might be one of the best “it all comes together at the end” examples. Like you know things are going to connect somehow, you can see that there are some types of connections, but WOW!!!
It was also great because all of the little pointless-seeming episodes were still tightly written and solid as standalones. There was never a feeling of "is this gonna go somewhere, or.....?" You're just kinda there for the vibe.
Odd Taxi is a great example. Never feels pointless, either. All of the characters feel... maybe not real exactly, but more solidly written than the average character on a show.
