It all came to a glorious end. Six years and six seasons later, ABC’s ‘HTGAWM’ closed its final chapter in a dramatic and powerful series finale. And when it did, it left fans at a loss — loss of words, loss of their loved characters, and most importantly, loss of a show that had become a part of their lives for the last six years.

Fans took to Twitter and poured their hearts out sharing their emotions and how overwhelmed they were for the final episode. Fortunately, Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) got to live and did not get killed as everyone had anticipated. But the ending was no less traumatic and touching. Losing Bonnie Winterbottom (Liza Weil) and Frank Delfino (Charlie Weber) left fans speechless and in tears. And yet it was the perfect ending for many.

One fan on Twitter commented, “Well done !!!! What a perfect ending to an amazing show!!!!! This Episode Had My Emotions Going All Over The Place!!!!  I Am Truly Speechless Loudly crying #HTGAWMFinale." Adding to the emotional rollercoaster the finale offered, another fan said, “OMG ! #HTGAWMFINALE absolutely blew me away. It was perfect and I absolutely UGLY CRIED so much. Just wow. I’m so sad it’s over though."

No matter the losses and the sad ending to Annalise’s character, a fan felt thankful to the creators about how they finally saved the day. “At least y’all did Annalise right. Thank you for this crazy experience! @shondarhimes & @petenowalk," one said.

Of the many things that the entire series brought to life, the most significant one was Annalise’s character, whom many fans consider to be a role model. And those who didn’t so far, realized in the final chapter what they had missed. "@violadavis you made Annalise the role model I didn’t know I needed! Amazing! Crazy journey but we made it everyone. #HTGAWM  #HTGAWMFinale ANNALISE KEATING FOREVER," says a female fan feeling grateful for Viola Davis’s character.

Over the years, through the rollercoaster ride of murders, mayhem, betrayal, love and friendship, the show had many of its fans falling in love with it, so much so that some of them will never get over its experience. "It’s not humanly possible for me to love another show as much as htgawm. thank you for an insane journey. I'll never stop rewatching this show and loving all these characters. #HTGAWMFinale @HowToGetAwayABC,” says a fan who wants to keep the show and keep its characters alive.
