Pros: season finale quality, character development

Cons: season finale quality, finale satisfaction
Several subplots, especially around legacy characters and relationship detours, can make the season’s priorities feel muddled.
Pros: cast chemistry, supporting cast performance
Cons: episode structure, realism
