The end is...poor
What a dismal end to a once promising series. The first two seasons had everything you could ask for: espionage, great plots, betrayal, revenge, romance. Sadly this one does not. It seems to take many old plot devices and recycle them again and again to get the characters from a to b until they are nothing short of ridiculous. There are more ‘surprise’ betrayals and miraculous resurrections than in Christ’s day. The loss of so many loved characters along the way does nothing for the show, and the new editions are given little to do that endears them to the viewer and makes you care for their well being. Losing Will and Francie in previous seasons means there’s nothing to ground Syd’s life in the ‘real world’, and the stories suffer from it. I can’t fault the acting and the cast do their best with what they are given, Jennifer Garner is excellent as always and gives great performances. But the writing is pretty terrible. The story arc is all over the place and it seems J.J. Abrams was preoccupied with the success of Lost to give this series the end it deserved. It all felt very rushed to me. And if anyone actually understands what Rambaldi’s end game actually was, or what was the point of Balthazar Getty’s Agent Grace, then you are a better person than me, cos I haven’t the foggiest. Fans of the show will watch this anyway, but if you’re not a fan, this isn’t the series to make you one.
