[Jussi]

Started on Sunday.

Damn, it looks like Carrie while off her meds and rocker in that Russian prison, spilled out some stuff.

I actually liked the premiere. The show has had it's ups and downs, but I've enjoyed it throughout the years.

Good that they actually get to finish the show and not get cancelled.

I think either Saul or Carrie (or both) will die before it's done.

This season has been really intense. Possibly the best season.

Series finale tonight. This season has been very very good. Nice surprise after the nonsense of the last two seasons.

This has been probably the best season. Carrie's goals have never been made clearer, by mostly Saul, as this season. To her the end result matters, no matter the cost. She's willing to pay the price for it and we've seen the costs.

I think the finale was one of the best I've seen.

Spoiler

gave closure and felt true to the story considering she was in a kind of impossible situation.

That was incredible. I guessed it sort of when they moved two years ahead to Moscow and when Carrie looked at the woman leaving the concert. She managed to build her own network in Russia. Sacrificed one asset to save two countries from going to nuclear war and then made herself the new asset.

Glad that a few others revived this thread.

Absolutely brilliant ending to the show, among the happiest I’ve ever been with a series finale. Until the concert scene in Moscow, I never could’ve predicted an ending like the one they gave us, but so happy it ended like this.

Enjoyed the final season and the finale. That's not how I expected it to end.

One thing that was bugging though throughout was that Carrie was accused of conspiring to kill the president (among many other charges), but isn't kept detained during the legal process? She is the very definition of a flight risk

It's been a good ride for 8 seasons. A couple seasons weren't great but overall it was good. Some really strong seasons in those 8.

Rarely do series wrap up well after a prolonged run. Perfectly crafted series bookend that made the slog through some forgettable storylines worth it.

It's one of those things where you shouldn't think about it too hard because it kind of falls apart. This is the same world where a person as unhinged as Carrie is allowed to be involved in top level CIA/foreign affairs operations.

Season 3 was the low-point of the show but they turned it around and made a fairly entertaining show of it the rest of the way. This was a nice finish to cap off another good season.

I'm a little late to the party but I thought Season Eight was a great wrap for the series. Lots of great scenes and plot twists galore. One of my favorite shows and one of my favorite final seasons of a show.

I wonder if there are any talks about a movie or something in the future.

That 2 year wait for S8 was painful

Here's a problem. I'm watching EP4 and I knew something was gonna happen to the President because there's 8 EPs to go.
