5 Takeaways From the ‘Nashville’ Series Finale

After six years, dozens of episodes and countless tears, CMT’s Nashville came to an end on Thursday night (July 26). The show’s finale was decidedly less dramatic than its preceding episodes; instead, it solidly wrapped up the show's major storylines without making fans feel as though they don’t know what’s next for the characters they fell in love with throughout six seasons.

For fans who have watched Nashville since the beginning, the series finale was totally satisfying. Read on for a recap of the episode's most important moments, and bid farewell to a show that will go down in country music history.
