Decided to post, since I saw so many people disliking the end. I felt the same way I did about game of thrones, maybe not the way people wanted it to end, but really cool.
Well, by “loved the ending”, I don’t mean the whole “Got it” thing, but where each character ended up. I’ll mostly talk about Annie, because her outcome is impacted deeply by the other characters' outcomes First, I have to start by saying that since episode 1, I think Annie is lost. She might this brilliant, super savvy woman, but still, she is lonely and lost. The fact that she is super attached to some random man, she spent a couple of weeks with, in a foreign country, who she knew nothing about, speaks for itself. A 20/30 year old adult would want their own place, where they can be free to do whatever they want, she lives with her sister, to avoid loneliness.
In the early seasons, she makes deep connections, and meets people who make her feel like she belongs(Auggie, Eyal, Joan, even Jai). That impacts her life a lot, it reflects a lot on her decisions, on/off the job, her appearance, clothes etc. The thing is, throughout the show, she loses most of those connections, because of multiple reasons. Joan has a kid, Jai dies, Auggie and her break up, Danielle moves away, Eyal decides to get back together with his ex(this one was the dealbreaker for her. In my opinion, Eyal was the only thing keeping her from shutting everyone out completely, in the later seasons. When he tells her about it, you can almost see a little piece of her dying inside, as if she was waiting for him to save her from herself), and they are replaced with a single person, who is the only one she truly trusts in the end: Ryan Mcquaid Don’t get me started on this dude, he is a widower, ex military, loner, gazillionare. So basically the only person in the world who is as cold and detached, as her, in this point of the show. They are perfect for each other. Now, I don’t know if the idea of the show, was losing track of what it was about in the beginning, just like how Annie lost track of the important things in her life, but that’s the only reason I could think of for the later seasons to be so different than the first 2. Anyways, I really enjoyed how every aspect of this series seemed to concomitantly change, with Annie. Maybe I’m over analysing a show that it’s supposed to be a cop/CIA basic TV series, but I enjoy doing it lol.
