So excited. It seems to have been a long time !

italian - sorry, you are asking me..?

Trills - oh good, you can make me LOL here as well as with concrete squids.

Gettingscarednow, "I felt quite sad for her at the end." Yes, indeed, a very sad and not very nice ending at all. Portraying her as wrapped up in the past, conflicted (she was most definitely not) and pretty tiny, Peter looked like a giant next to her.

FINN should have pinged back into her life!

I would have liked to see more with Finn.

A few episodes ago we had a Happy Diane. She deserves some happiness.

Can't decide if it's good or bad that the whole thing didn't end with a "happy" ending - no man, no friend & job (Diane slapping her).

Loved the parts with Will in, I thought his character made Alicia more warm and relatable - otherwise overall she's just grown and turned into a completely cold-hearted bitch (not that there's anything wrong with that per se...)

But yes, disappointing ending to an otherwise excellent programme.

BTW what did happen to Finn? Why did he not come back in subsequent series? I've either missed or just forgotten it...

I did think Peter would go to prison but he had lost everything. I think Will was just brought in because focus groups have not been positive with Jason and it was a ridiculous token crowd pleaser.

What are last episodes for if not for ridiculous crowd pleasers?

Agree Will was in a very different league from smirking Jason. Far better she's alone than with him.

I am a bit disappointed with how it ended. I thought that Peter should have got time, but horrified by what she and Lucca did to Diane's husband on the stand. Why was that necessary?

I thought that she should have refused to stand next to Peter and then strode off to her new life (not with Jason) - head held high.

Finn blotted his copy book because he prosecuted Cary.

Yes toomuchMNtime you said that they brought in a lawyer who told Alicia she got divorced.

I forced myself to finish this series but my that was a disappointing ending!

I struggled to be interested in the actual series by the end never mind a spinoff! This this will be it for me

Not sure what to make of that finale, I could see what they were trying to do with the parallels of the first episode with Alicia standing by Peter but the whole court case thing was a bit random in the first place.

Alicia was a bitch to Diane - would she really have sacrificed their friendship like that to help Peter - a man she was going to divorce? And Luca questioning about affairs etc - Diane is her employer!! How would a spin off work with that dynamic?!

Glad she didn't end up with Jason - a stronger ending would have been to walk away alone. I never expected this programme to have a happy ever after ending with all loose ends tied up with a bow but I really don't know where any of the characters are heading. Disappointing.

Poor Diane!!!

I liked the ending tbh and I liked Jason much more than Will and loathed Kalinda.

I'll watch the spin off if we get it in the UK.

Continuity with that bloody wig was ridiculous though!!

may be a little oblivious what wig???

Alicia's wig

Real hair in the days of ER when women were allowed to have hairy arms without it being a big deal!

I really am oblivious to these things. I'm also that person who doesn't notice people have lost weight or had their hair done you have to do something drastic for me to notice

Well that was a tad disappointing.

There's a spin off??

I thought Alicia stitching up Kurt and Diane to save Peter was awful. I also thought it was pretty foolish discrediting Kurt, as Lockheart Gardner (and various permutations thereafter) had used Kurt as a defence witness in lots of their trials & it risked having lots of their clients' cases reviewed. It was an uncharacteristically short-sighted and stupid move by Alicia.

It also made me very sad for Diane, as her relationship with Kurt was the one shining beacon in a life where people (men) like David Lees & Cary were constantly trying to get one over on her. Kurt was honest, dependable and principled to the core - a touchstone. Except now he's just a philandering bastard, a cheater and liar - like Peter. I'm impressed Diane managed to keep it to the one slap after Alicia threw that hand grenade into her personal life to save a lying shit like Peter.

I really went off Alicia in this final episode, but perhaps it was to signify she has what it takes to get on in politics - a desire to win at all costs & a willingness to exploit other people/destroy them to do it. Basically, Peter in a heels & a bad wig!

Finn had to bow out because of Matthew Goode's Downton Abbey filming schedule. A shame, as Alicia was a nicer, more likeable person with Finn.
