*Major spoilers ahead for the series 12 finale*
It has given Waterloo Road fans the chance to binge the entire season, but means many have been left in bits over the tragic final episode.
It saw student Danny die after new pupil Myles went on a rampage and started a fire.
Danny had initially escaped unharmed but realising that Myles was stuck, Danny decided to go back to help him, despite the fact Myles caused the fire.
Sadly, there was an explosion before Danny could get out, and he passed away in hospital later that night.
His death left his friends and the staff at Waterloo Road devastated, and viewers were emotional over his untimely death.
But in the final moments, a group of students held a candlelit vigil for Danny outside the school entrance and sang Lewis Capaldi’s hit song, Before You Go.
It pushed viewers over the edge and one tweeted: “I expected that ending – why am I still an emotional mess.”
Another added: “The ending of this new season of #waterlooRoad had me bawling like a baby. Why are the playing with my heart like that, I’m old.”
A third tweeted: “sorry but that ending to the new season was completely unnecessary and i don’t think my heart will ever recover.”
Meanwhile a fourth sobbed: “That Waterloo Road season finale ending…….I cried, I swear it’s incredible, man. #WaterlooRoad Dannyyyyyy.”
A fellow fan agreed, writing: “Wow! Just binged watched #WaterlooRoad and just got very emotional at the ending. Beautiful written. Heartbreaking ending.”
