We lost it with this show a few episodes back, but figured we might as well watch the rest of the season, just to see how bad it could get.
The finale was about what we expected: the epitome of stupider-than-reality cops and smarter-than-reality bad guys. When the last scene faded, my hubby said, "Well, that's it. Everyone's dead, and that's how I'm leaving it. The End. I'm never watching this show again." I agreed.
Why does this show get the ratings it does? It's crap writing, so predictable, especially once you get their schtick. We made a game out of predicting what would happen next (and were usually right). I guess it's star power? But even that falls flat. Keven Bacon and James Purefoy can only do so much with the drek they're given to work with.
Bleh... glad it's done.
Now, The Americans (on FX)... that's got it all: great writing and directing, fantastic actors, and a meaty plot. I didn't watch last night's season finale of that show yet, but am savoring the idea of getting to it tonight.
