I really loved this episode. Yes, the old makeup was dodgy as hell but not enough to throw me out of the flash forwards though. Annalise was always going to get off but I loved her speech to the jury and I loved that she did have a good life, post trial. I do wish that her and Tegan had more time together though. Nice seeing Eve, Ophelia and Celestine during this episode. Was obvious that Alfred Enoch would come back to play Christophe instead of Wes secretly being alive. Better too. I did like that he became the new Annalise by the end of this. Michaela losing her friends was harsh but saw it coming. Laurel - not much we know about her post trial but clearly she maintained some kind of relationship with Annalise. Connor and Oliver, mixed feelings but still glad they stayed together. Frank and Bonnie, their deaths were sad but had to happen I guess. Didn't care about Nate but glad he did come through for Annalise at the end. Overall, a fantastic finale, 9/10

You think with all the murders and back stabbing we've had in six seasons that Annalise getting to say "Assholes" wouldn't shock me but it did. I actually loved this episode. Annalise's analyzing of how to present herself at court, representing herself, tearing Connor and Michaela apart, getting Laurel on side. It was almost going so well and then Hannah got killed so that's made things messy. Gonna go with Frank here. Seriously, Bonnie could've waited until after the trial to tell him that bit of news. Laurel, Connor and Michaela all turning on each other while Oliver remains unscathed. Just nope to that. Tegan's got it bad for Annalise. Chill, Tegan, chill. Zoned out with the Nate and Gabe scenes, but ooh, they found Xavier's body. Send Nate to jail please show, 9/10

It is way too late in the day to be going down the path of Sam/Hannah having an incestuous relationship and Frank being their son. If they wanted to do this storyline, it should've been done much earlier in the season. If the flashbacks were meant to make us feel bad for Sam, then ultimately they failed. The guy was toxic through and through and ruined too many lives, even if he didn't mean to in some cases. I did like Annalise's scenes with Vivian, Bonnie, Frank and Tegan this week, even if the latter barely had anything to do. Connor took a new deal but did Michaela? Really hate that Nate gained some sort of an upper hand here? Just get rid of him. At least Gabriel is leaving. 7/10

Nate is such a moron. I mean, I get wanting payback for his father but keeping Xavier alive would've helped everyone out instead of killing him. Even Frank managed to understand that and that's not counting Bonnie's influence in the matter. Annalise got the death penalty and I thought it would stick for an episode or two instead of getting thrown out but it's probably smart they didn't drag it out. Tegan's Game Of Thrones reference was cute but clumsy. She was still the right person to have represent Annalise though instead of Robert. Oliver has been annoying the last few episodes. At least Connor and Michaela are trying to make things a little better. Don't care for Gabriel but Vivian's little reveal about Sam/Hannah cannot be good, 8/10

Good luck to Javicia. If the show can convincingly pull off a new character as Batwoman, then more power to them but it's still risky enough though considering how every character is deeply tied to Kate Kane.

Another really good episode. Loved Annalise's scenes with her mother and Tegan. The confrontation with the kids was fairly inevitable and I could look at both sides on the matter. Nice tribute and final flashbacks with Asher there. Glad they didn't drag out the reveal of his killer and at least Gabriel did something decent with telling Connor, Michaela and Oliver about it. Nate can go away now though, 8/10

I really liked this return episode. Not sure who killed Asher but I don't believe it was Bonnie and Frank, despite the flashbacks making them look shady as hell though. Connor and Michaela - love that they had the same idea. Love that they ignored Oliver and Solomon's advice too. Love their friendship in general. Annalise got caught quicker than I expected her to do. Nate and Gabriel continue to be pointless but I do expect that the latter knows more than he's letting on, re Asher, 8/10

This was a self indulgent, wish fulfillment series and while it took a lot of creative liberties, I still enjoyed the hell out of it. I do think this finale indulged big time in the schmaltzy of ways especially with the Awards ceremony but it was fine enough. I did like Archie and Rock together throughout the series. I also wished we had seen more of Dick and John before the former died. Jack and Claire, they sped up the romance but again it worked like Ellen and Ernie did as well. Avis really did commit to diversity with standing by Raymond, Camille and Archie but I wished we had seen more of Anna May and Hattie in the series. Overall a strong ending but this doesn't need to be brought back for a second season, 8/10

Ace had a change of heart and died and now Meg has been burned. Yeah, I think that all felt a bit obvious. I'm betting there's a copy somewhere though. At least Henry was trying to be helpful with a movie plot point and Raymond saw that. Nice that Dick came out. Also nice the Archie/Rock scene in their house. Jack and Claire getting closer was nice but also predictable in a way. Loved Camille not bowing down to those racists here as well. Same with Avis as well. The Ernie and Ellen scenes were quite nice too. I think I saw a spark with them. 8/10

Easily better than last season's finale but with Charlie, Zari 1 and possibly Astra as well, this certainly lived up to it's title in a way. Having the Legends taking out Encores to Sisqo's Thong Song and him performing the song during the fight was a stroke of genius. Sara being snatched by aliens at the end is a good hook for next season but Ava still isn't the best of leaders. Zari 2 and Constantine together next season, Lita recurring for Mick, Nate on his own, Zari and Behrad sharing the totem, all could work well. Fates storyline wrapped up well and less Mona/Gary does work, 8/10

Ah the Jack story with his wife was way too convenient but I guess he's now free to pursue Claire, which the show will no doubt do. I felt this was great for the older characters as Avis, Ellen, Dick and Jeanne all got some excellent moments in this episode. Archie and Rock were cute as usual with the small screen time they had together. Henry's still horrible but he's useful I guess. Loved the script reading scene with everyone. Felt for Raymond and Camille when that racist asshole called the latter. Nice scenes with Hattie and Tallulah as well, 8/10

Constantine doesn't work in long term relationships so I'd rather they didn't go further with him and Zari in that capacity.

I loved that. The TV shows they chose to spoof were easy choices but they worked nonetheless. I cannot see both Zaris being kept next season and while both do deserve to stay, it might be easy to merge them together. Behrad came back an episode earlier than expected. Astra seems to realise that she has to let go of her mother. I like that Constantine was supportive here and his disgust of having to be a butler was amusing. Don't mind Nate/Zari but eh, let's not rush into it. Mick loved his hair in that world. Sara and Ava's scenes were the weaker part of the episode. Charlie, Mona and Gary worked fine with lesser screen time here, 9/10

Claire had the better audition but I also think Camille did deserve the role too. Both were good enough for it. Avis had some great scenes with Eleanor Roosevelt, Jeanne, Dick and Ellen in this one. Love that she seemingly stood her ground with Henry. Rock's bad auditions were amusing while Jack showed improvement this week. Archie took a setback but one I don't see sticking and Raymond was right to tell Camille not to cheat. Not my favourite episode but I am enjoying this series a lot, 7/10

Regarding that press release, not surprised that Behrad will be back and happy that both him and Zari will wield the air totem. I love Constantine but with HBO Max planning their own Justice League Dark, I'm almost surprised that he's still going to be around next season. Will Charlie, Astra and Gary make it next season? Not liking the idea of Sara going missing if it's happening and I would have added a new male character as well. I assume Season 6 will have 15 episodes or slightly less like this season has had.

So everyone except Charlie is dead but probably not. The use of zombies felt more Shaun Of The Dead then Walking Dead which I guess was the point. I don't believe Charlie has switched sides and neither will her sisters at some point in the next two episodes. Gary has been more annoying this season but he actually made an effort and worked well with Gideon and even got Astra to change her mind. Why can't he that useful more often? Still don't like the Constantine/Zari pairing. The actors have chemistry but it still feels forced for me. They just work better as friends. Sara should have been more honest with everyone, it was jarring that she wasn't here. Ava, Mick and Nate had some okay moments but meh mostlymto their scenes this week. Intrigued to see how these last two episodes resolve this story. 7/10

My favourite episode so far. God this one was so good. That scene between Dick breaking down to Rock and the latter making some progress with Archie. Then there's Henry. Yup, he's vile, even if this episode did try to humanise him a bit but his scenes with Rock and Jack. Yikes. Jack not loving his wife I didn't expect. Claire seems very interested. She got a little better this one but only because we know who her parents are. Raymond is right about Camille for the part of Peg/Meg. Rock deserves the male lead more than Jack though. Loved the use of Tallullah Bankhead and Vivien Leigh here too as well as Avis and Ellen's bickering, 9/10

Good introductions for Raymond and Camille. Really both them as a couple and liked their scenes together. I liked Raymond's scenes with Anna May Wong and Archie and his determination to want to change Hollywood. The show seems to have fun poking fun at Jack and Rock's acting at times. Henry creeped me out during his scenes with Rock while the latter was adorable with Archie. Claire seems okay so far but doesn't really stand out as much as the rest of the younger characters yet. Title sequence looks great, 7/10

A premise thats both intriguing and a little on the fanfic side. This episode focused on Jack the most and despite him trying to refuse Ernie, it took very little for him to go with Avis though. I did enjoy his scenes with Archie and thought his best acting was pretending to be a cop. Not as invested in his family life though. The scenes with Archie and Roy are without a doubt the highlight of each episode too, 7/10

Really enjoyed this one. Nice use of fraternity and sorority TV tropes and of course , Dion was a fun guest character and a good sport. I hope he does come back next season. Astra slowly coming around to the Legends, got great scenes with Charlie and the Deltas so of course Lachesis would cash in on her debt. The show is having a blast with Sara's new powers and they're a lot of fun to watch as well. Lita has gotten better and I liked her scenes with Mick and Nate and I liked that she had a role in the main plot too. The episode really went to town with Nate's frat boy ways too. Zari not drinking from the cup can't end well. Not sure about her and Constantine though. Chemistry is there but writing a bit forced, 8/10

The hell hound idea was amusing and for the most part actually executed well. On the other hand, the show is overextending how much audiences find Gary's stupidity amusing. The guy seriously needs to get some common sense now. Nice scenes with Zari and Astra this week. Liked them trying to outsmart each other while the show hinted at a friendship with them. Still mixed on a potential Zari and John pairing. On the other hand, at least Nate was useful with Mick and Lita though. Sara's new powers are interesting but I don't think they're permanent. It took long for her to open up about them and too long for Ava and John to believe her. Hopefully Charlie can get that loom working now, 7/10

Not sure I want to see a John/Zari pairing but on the other hand, the actors have chemistry and worked brilliantly here with each other. There were more Encores than usual here and they were used pretty, especially Jack the Ripper and Bonnie and Clyde. Zari pulled off the Cleopatra look well. Not too shocked by Astra changing sides when she realised that Lachesis and Atropos were a bigger threat. Good team up with Ava, Gary and Mick this week. Sara was short changed this week but at least we have an idea of what her power may be. Charlie had some nice scenes with Nate and Enchantress. Surprised the latter appeared but intrigued to see who's side she's really on, 8/10

This was a great episode to come back with. Charlie's sisters really do mean business and Atropos seems the worst of the Fates. Poor Behrad, even though it's likely his death won't stick. Loved Zari and Zari. Just a brilliant meeting of minds/souls in this one and it seems like current Zari doesn't actually fancy Nate, which is also interesting. Sara's superpower whatever it's supposed to be gave her an immunity to a Fate's true form and Constantine had his own back up this week. The Supernatural references were amusing enough. Like the Mick and Ava subplot with Lita too, 8/10

A bit of a rushed ending for both Ray and Nora but I still liked it. The show will lose something after Ray's departure tbh. Ray and Nate's bromance had it's moments and I did love the last scene when they all badly reacted to the green juice. Loved the use of Shakespeare in this one, the take on Romeo & Juliet was hilarious as were the bachelor and bachelorette parties respectively. Coin Maker will likely be one of Charlie's sisters. She didn't have to do much to get Astra to work against Constantine either. Nice scenes with Mick and Mona in this one too and can we bring stripper guy back too? 8/10

The end really is nigh for Ray and Nora and while I still think the show is making a mistake losing these characters, I loved this episode, loved the wedding they got and I loved the return of Damien Darhk to boot. Damien has always worked better here than Arrow and he had great scenes with Nora, Ray, Constantine, Sara and Ava. His final death actually made sense too. Nora liking her job as a fairy godmother made sense too, nice character moments there too. Loved the Cul-De-Sac scenes in this one, especially with Constantine's reaction to the puppets again. The Sara/Ava conflict eh, just seemed a bit tacked on but didn't hamper things either. Mick having a daughter feels like a set up for a departure for him. I did love the team up with him and Zari this week. Same with Constantine and Charlie and their scenes. Time to meet Charlie's sisters now though, 9/10.
