Brassic fans have been left furious after the Sky One comedy was 'ruined' with a finale episode they joked made the ending of American series Lost 'look like a masterpiece'. 

The series, which stars Fool Me Once actress Michelle Keegan and Mr Big Stuff's Ryan Sampson, returned for its final instalment last month. 

The show, which follows a group of friends in a forgotten corner of Northern England, finally waved goodbye in an hour-long episode on Thursday night.

But the drama, which is made by BAFTA winning screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst and This Is England actor Joseph Gilgun, failed to impress. 

But for their last hurrah, instead of the usual lighthearted comedy, with fans expecting a laugh-packed victory lap of drink, drugs and cheekiness, things took a dark turn. 

The gang, led by Joseph's Vinnie O'Neill became trapped during a snowstorm at a local carvery, alongside gangster Davey MacDonagh who was holding hostages.

Rising tensions saw the two groups engaged in a violent stand-off, but there was no clear cut resolution for viewers on who made it out.   

Instead, the show ended without tying up all the storylines viewers had been following for the past six series since its launch in 2019. 

And the series curtain call, which the team behind the drama teased was inspired by movie maker Quentin Tarantino, failed to hit the mark. 

Taking to X to react to the scenes, one fan fumed: 'WHAT THE F**K WAS THAT BRASSIC ENDING I'M SO CONFUSED?'

A second chimed in: 'Can anyone explain to me what that brassic ending was all about?' as a third raged: 'That final season should never have been made, and what an absolute s***e ending.'

A fourth penned: 'That can't be the end of Brassic with that episode!? WTF,' as a fifth added: 'WHAT IS THAT ENDING!?! SUCH A TERRIBLE SEASON. 1-4 were the best seasons.'

A sixth raged: 'The final season of BRASSIC should never have been made, and what an absolute shite ending promise was tie up all loose ends,' while a seventh concluded: 'It made the last season of lost look like a f*****g masterpiece.'

It comes after it was confirmed that Brassic has been axed after seven seasons of raucous fun, six years after it first hit screens. 

Brassic has gone on to have six successful series, and fans will be gutted to know that it won't be returning after its seventh.

Co-creator and writer Danny Brocklehurst: 'When Joe Gilgun and I sat down to create Brassic, we couldn't have imagined, in our wildest dreams, that we would do seven series and gather such a loyal and loving fan base.

'It's been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high. 

'Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA.'

Brassic's blend of slaptick comedy and farcical action sequences has cemented itas one of the nation's favourite modern comedies. 

A spokesperson for Sky said of the show ending: 'Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia.

'We would like to thank Joe Gilgun, Danny Brocklehurst and the whole cast and crew – past and present – for bringing us all a truly iconic series, which we’ve loved for its special mix of hilarity and heart.' 

David Livingstone, Founder of production company Calamity Films, added: 'Somehow, some crazy stories and a bucketful of truth, combined with an astoundingly talented cast, have created the most loyal fanbase you could ever hope for.

'From Joe Gilgun’s unconventional imagination to Danny Brocklehurst’s brilliant writing, it's all been a blast. This farewell series is for the fans.'

Leading man and producer Joseph Gilgun has been outspoken about ensuring the show is a warm and sympathetic portrayal of working class life and friendship.
