This is a very good season story wise. Claire Danes/Carrie is still the worst part of the show, so at least it's consistent. Everything else I'd put up with the first seasons, and of course Costa Ronin is awesome.

Ugh, my error. For some reason I thought I heard they had a shortened final season.

Thanks for the edit.

They stuck the landing. Great ride.

I'm game for a Saul prequel spinoff.

I'd love it, hes said in a bunch of interviews he would do the show forever, he loves the character

It was claire danes who didnt wanna travel away from young family for 4-5 months a year

Saul spinoff would be so easy too, could make it an anthology type series where theres a new event every type of season with a new cast of characters, saul is high up in the government, hes just always the secondary guy being in charge of the 'team's

Could let them change it up every year, different types of spy stuff, different locations etc.

Since young Saul was played by Ben Savage in the flashback last week, I think the obvious spin-off is a prequel series called Spy Meets World.

Late to the party, but started watching S8 this week. My expectation were low (even though the series has been consistently good), but halfway through and it's some of the best TV right now. The scene with the team hiking out to the chopper and watching for movement on the hills through the scopes while Max did his thing was Band of Brothers-worthy. Incredible tension that episode.

Looking forward to finishing this off!

Edit - Just finished it last now. Wow! Great ending.

Spoiler!

Just finished this. Not their best season but still very entertaining, it just got a little too much 24ish there for a while which is not what this show should be.

They really nailed the finish. That was just excellent even if predictable.

All in all, that show could never live up to the first year but it has been a run of very good television. I’d be intrigued about a spinoff without Carrie.

I'm binging it from the pilot right now and it's crazy how good the first season was. Really throws me back to 2011-12 with just some unreal shows at that time - peak Homeland, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Boardwalk, GoT... I was so heavily invested in TV that year.

There will be some blips - please tough it out. In my opinion this series really shines in the later seasons.

I fully intend to... 1-3 were so good for me that I just really didn't want to keep going. On an extended vacation now so I might as well binge it from the start. The last episode of 3 remains maybe in my top 3 favourite episodes of TV ever and that's a high bar for me cause I watch an absurd amount of TV. I still listen to the music from that episode from time to time, six years later.

We've been binging hard for a couple months now. Just 2 episodes left in S7.

Where can you watch S8? Is it on prime or do I have to sail the high seas?
