It's just absolutely shocking how much this show has disappointed. I see a lot of fans complaining about the past 3 episodes who were normally lovers of the first 6 seasons overall, but I am truly baffled why they didn't see this before since the whole show has been a disappointment except for a handful of great episodes.
But these final series episodes are extra shocking. To have that long of an amount of time to work on this script and story and to basically end the series on anticlimactic whimpers in the last 3 episodes is just unfathomable. You would thing basically that they would turn up the heat a notch during this run of episodes, but they have really just done mostly the opposite with truly boring episodes just like in the early seasons.
Sometimes I really have to rewind scenes because although they have pertinent information in them, they are so slow and drawn out for no good reason that I literally get distracted. This isn't Gus vs Walt in the desert with clouds passing by type of slow cinematography but rather just self indulgent series of meaningless shots that feel like they are truly just long and drawn out to fill up minutes in an otherwise hollow and poorly thought out story to pack in more episodes, which unironically is what most of the show felt like.
Look, I give it a 7/10, so I'm not saying it's awful, but come on: this is not even close to what you would expect from this crew and set of writers and directors of Breaking Bad. This is the penultimate episode? And the previous 2 comprised the final run of episodes? That's it? Wow, just astonishing. Truly astonishing disappointing work. It's not the actors' faults either- they're fine. Just awful writing and plotting.
7/10.
