Suffering from Serial withdrawal? So is the rest of the internet...

Serial is over, for now at least. After 12 episodes of Sarah Koenig and her team's investigative journalism and terrific storytelling, the podcast examining the real-life murder conviction of Adnan Syed reached an end. Well, sort of – because real life rarely has a neat ending.

We'll probably never know exactly what happened on the afternoon of 13th January 1999 when Baltimore teenager Hae Min Lee was murdered. Is Adnan's memory loss genuine? Is there more to Jay's involvement than he's letting on? Was it someone else behind the killing? And was there or was there not a pay phone in the Best Buy parking lot?

Whatever your thoughts on yesterday's conclusion, we're united in one thing: we want more. And more we'll get, although it's likely to be a long wait until the new case next year – and Twitter is not happy about it.

What am I supposed to do with this conclusion? I NEED CLOSURE. I WANT JUSTICE. @serial pic.twitter.com/WvvtZXVDre

As the final episode finally found its way onto the internet, we all tried – and failed – to hide our excitement:

We all have a lot of unanswered questions.

Here's a copy of Sarah's very first email exchange with Adnan's friend Rabia all the way back in August 2013...

Let's just hope they never went for coffee:
