Many thanks Parkerman ,agree , lets say arrangements underway for a swift viewing resolution to the problem ..:)

By the way, I don't want to put anyone off after all I've said about series 4, but I thought the last episode was very disappointing and a very poor finish to what had been a brilliant series.:(

What a shame. :(

I'll be watching it tonight as it happens. I've watched 10 episodes so far. I have heard from other sources that the finale was disappointing though, so I was already forewarned.

Hopefully the ride will be entertaining, even if the destination's a bit blah.

I'll be interested to hear what you think of the ending, Dazzle. Also what do you think of it so far?

I've very much enjoyed the series so far. Lots of twists and turns and very few dull moments. I've preferred it without

Spoiler:

Brody

too.

All being well should be viewing series 4 shortly, so can't comment. Series 5 is being planned, so maybe the producers are trying to keep options open.

Well I've finished series 4 now. I'll put my comments in spoiler tags for those who haven't seen it yet (don't peek Glen!! :nono:):

Spoiler:

That was a strange last episode! It wasn't what I was expecting at all. I thought they'd go all out to kill Haqqani, but he made a deal with the Americans and that's that it seems. :searchme:

The episode had a totally different vibe to the preceding ones. It felt more like the first episode of a new series rather than a finale (which should be exciting in my opinion). Didn't they have enough material to fill twelve episodes lol? :D

I find it difficult to believe that Saul's that cynical, especially after he wanted to kill himself rather than go through the prisoner exchange. I'm hoping that he accepted the Haqqani deal to get the video and his job back and that he'll go after the terrorist again next series.

I'm glad I watched the series though and I'll definitely be back for more next time. What did you make of it Parkerman?

I thought much the same as you, Dazzle.They seemed to be more interested in setting up a 5th series than in winding up the 4th series properly. A little action wouldn't have come amiss after everything that had gone on before. There were no shocks or surprises other than there were no shocks or surprises! It was a very tame ending.There seemed to be more investment in character development, which, again, is strange for the last episode of a series. I agree about Saul. It seemed completely out of character. Oh well, let's see what series five brings...

That's what I think! :)

Spoiler:

I love this sentence you wrote: "There were no shocks or surprises other than there were no shocks or surprises!" Very, very true! :D

I kept expecting something big to happen and it was pretty disappointing that it never did. I'm all for character development, in fact I dislike shallow drama, but that episode just wasn't series finale material. We're supposed to be left panting for more! :D

Finished viewing series 4, wow ...:clap: Just read yours Dazzle and Parkerman's hidden spoilers for ep.12. It does look like a lead into series 5. Apparently the relationship of Carrie and her mother to be taken further next time. Hope the writers don't spend too much time on it. Need to see Carrie operational. I think the Haqqani, Adal, Saul and Quinn plot will continue ,can't see the plot left up in the air, hope not...:)
