It was a bit anticlimatic. Far more emphasis on the bad guys this season. I want to see more Tim. Hes more badass than Raylan who turned into a total prick this season and thats fine but for the lead i thought he was underused.

Boyd as always was great as is Duffy in any scene he is in. Verging on the cartoonish but just gets away with it.

Writing and dialogue was up there. Still a great show. Gonna miss it.

Agree with all this. Season was one of the weakest mainly because of the Crows. And Raylan has become such a pr!ck. While he has always been a bit of a maverick he seems to be crossing the line to being corrupt.

I've found Raylan to be a bit more of an @sshole this year. the way he was talking with Ava reminded me a lot of how he foresaw that his Dad would probably be killed in prison but did nothing about it.

What other way would he \ should he talk to Eva? She's not exactly rainbows and teddy bears now is she?

Whatever season had the double identity sheriff was the worst, was it the season before the current one?

I didn't expect him to get her released but he did have a relationship with the person so I thought he should have shown some concern for her life. I just find the portrayal of Raylan is a bit harder this year, like he doesn't care when he gets people killed.

The end song was called 'You'll never leave Harlan alive'... I wonder is it any indication to Raylan's future.

Could have sworn they've used that song before in a previous finale.

They've used three different versions of it so far.

Patty Loveless version is my particular favourite.

All set up for the final season then, going to be less "playful" between Raylan and Boyd, poor Ava stuck between a rock and a hard place. Enjoyed this series (just watched last couple of episodes there) but Ava in prison all felt a bit tacked on and could have easily got to the conclusion we have without it all.

Really?? His abandonment of her while she was in prison and also her fear of going back inside is why she is helping the marshals service.

What possible reason would Eva have for turning on Boyd prior to her stint in prison? It was needed.

Yeah I wasn't clear in my last post, apologies.
You are absolutely right, prison was needed, but the stories in prison felt tacked on and stretched to fill out time. It needed one or two episodes in prison, not a whole season. Ava's life is put in danger in 1 episode Boyd has option to save her or save himself, chooses himself, job done. Still ends up with Ava fearful of being sent back inside by Raylan, aware of where Boyds priorities lay. Same outcome, quicker way of getting there.

Just thought the prison storyline was the least interesting part of this season.

I started watching the latest season weekly as the episodes were released but wasn't really enjoying it a whole lot, in fact I was quite disappointed and thought it was a mess, so I stopped after 5 episodes. Over the last few days I finally went back and watched the whole thing from start to finish (I think I just watched 8 episodes in a row tonight) and my opinion on the series has done a complete reversal. I thought it was absolutely superb. Possibly there were too many plot lines going on to try and keep track when there's been a week between episodes but watching it as a huge block it really did feel like a proper cinematic thriller.
Nearly every small and seemingly trivial detail came back into the story at some point, and the sprawling stories that I initially found hard to keep track of came together very cleverly in the without feeling forced or contrived.
Perhaps the last episode itself was a slight anti-climax in that was a little straightforward, but also because of the sheer quality of some of the preceding episodes. Some great lines all the way through as well, "Put your foot down Dewey Crowe!" "I'd call this a united nations of assholes" and "Third person?? You mean him?" being my favourites.
Personally I loved the heavy focus on the criminals this time round. Really felt it fleshed out the overall story arcs, blurred the lines of who you're rooting for a bit more (especially with Raylan being a bit more of a dick than usual), and just gave the whole Harlan county world a bit more life.
With Raylan, I really enjoyed his standoffs with Art and the tension between them. Because of how great a character Art is, and because in general he's very calm and cool, when the scale his disappointment and frustration with Raylan became clear even I started to feel genuinely let down by him!
I know reaction has been mixed to this series here but I definitely think this could be one where a repeated, binge watching, viewing will reveal its true quality. Probably my favourite since season 2.

Great way to start off the final season and I sure as hell didn't see that coming :eek:

Heckler

Just watched it. Think it going to be a dark season. While I love the humour and wit I think it deserves to go out that way. Great opener. And that....:eek:

blackwave

Definitely agree about it being darker this season, I have a feeling this season will be a lot more solid than the last as well.

He lasted for so long, thought he might get out alive with his 4 kidneys


Damon Herriman played Dewey brilliantly
