At least you need to watch S7 and 8 I think.
There's running thread going back to about S5 but if you watch 7 and 8 you can probably catch the gist of it. Maybe watch a quick recaps on YouTube for each sesason which usually are about 30 mins each.

And now the final battle is going to be brilliantly personal.

The final season was definitely a level above.
I personally didn't care much for seasons 4-6 either (other than Quinn, he was a hit), but 7 and particularly this last one really did pick up things. Finale was definitely a great end although I ahve a couple of things I don't think crucial to the story but impossible.

Spoiler

The scene at the UN conference or whatever is bs. All they ahd to do was just... walk into the public. Nobody was going to shoot or take her by force in public at an event like that.
-I think they'd just put a gun behind her back discretely and ask her to go with them. That's possible and happens in tv shows all the time even in public

Second, after Carrie returned in no way would she have been allowed to go about her life in cahoots with the Russians like that. She'd have been surveilled and tailed 100%. The US may be shit at helping people when needed but they've mastered the art of snooping.
-I guess you mean when they came back to the US. I suppose so, but we could probably explain it away by Saul maybe saying she's immune and based on the timeline it seemed like it's only been a few days after they got back that all the shit went down

But overall great way to finish it. Loved the dynamic between her and Saul. She can be ****** crazy.


Oh and

Poor Max

Ya was suprised when he died out of the blue but then I realised, oh ya last season

Season 1 is in my top 5 seasons of all time

You are missing out. Pick up from Season 4 or 5. Superb

Agree s2/s3 were not good.
