There have been some great moments, when Axe took the son of his mentor fishing and absolutely destroyed him, that was brilliant.
But I agree, the Taylor thing is becoming stagnant and Chuck and Wendy is pretty meh.

I thought Season 1 was good, but each year the show has gotten worse. At one point late in the last season, I was watching it and it struck me that there is no one on the show who could be considered a good person. Every character is selfish and narcissistic. It's hard to care about people like that.
Haven't started this season yet (and don't know if I will).

Loved season 1, but it's been relatively downhill since then. This season almost reminds me of White Collar, and that's not a compliment. Even the music at times is just awful.
This show needs to get darker again and Taylor needs to go away.

Last nights episode was worse. This show used to be so good I wouldn’t miss a week.
Time to change it up or it’s done

I’m now at the point where I don’t care about this show or the characters. This season is easily the worst by far. It’s run it’s course. Same old crap

Did Mason not hook up with some Silicon Valley tech guy 2 seasons ago? I remember them being at the guys house and then the beginning of a sex scene, only for it to cut out.
I guess this part of the non binary thing? They goboth ways?
Anyhow I'm curious about A) What Victor showed Axe and B) Why Jeffcoat was on the wire when Connerty was listening in. Wonder if eh cuts a deal with Chuck to ruin Connerty and then leave him alone forever.

I remember the scene you’re speaking of but it had a jump cut so I can’t really tell
I think Connerty and Jock are going down big time in the finale

Yup and Axe is going to get Taylor and in the process blow up the relationship with that girl.

Lauren? Yeah I sure hope so.
Did you see the look on Axe face when his new girl admitted she made a deal with Taylor? Gloves are off now
Somehow Connerty is going to get caught with the safe cracking, it just feels like that's how he's going down and down hard.

Definitely especially since we saw Hall sneaking around dressed as security not to mention the American flag pin that Sacker planted
This season is not the best but, it's been good. They had to get away from the Chuck/Ax feud. Taylor Mason isn't an exciting or over emotional character. I suppose that's what makes it different. I didn't like how Ax gets rid of their Russian backer and they seemingly move on without any type of liquidity loss. It looks like Ax is considering burning down the world to get rid of them. As far as Connerty goes, how dumb can one man be.

I’ve actually loved this season but Taylor Mason drags it down and her character brings absolutely nothing especially with the “non-binary” bullshit
I think Connerty has been so OOC this season, yeah his need for revenge against Chuck blinds him sometimes but he never used to lose all common sense
Him and Jock are in for quite a surprise for thinking that they can keep Chuck down for good. He’s playing chess while other characters are playing checkers

I think for some reason wendy is gonna take a fall in the finale. That interaction they had when wendy was trying to stop him from buying that appliance company was odd. Then the way wags said "this will ruin a long relationship ". Not sure how exactly though...
Axe is going to go scorched earth, he's going to destroy every relationship he has and his company to destroy Taylor.
Wendy's going to be caught in the cross fire on both sides as its a race to see whether her husband or Connerty goes down for the count.
I would expect this show is coming back this year and we'll see Axe working in a parking garage for minimum wage. Connerty and Chuck as mismatched hilarious cellmates, and Taylor will get the lions share of the screen time.

Wendy can go down in flames, she deserves it at this point and I won’t feel sorry for her.
For sure Axe is going full scorched earth route and nothing will get in his way from destroying Taylor and I think at this point he doesn’t care who gets sacrificed
It’ll be interesting to see how they structure next season, from the writing it seems like they think people watch for Taylor? I haven’t talked with anyone that watches the show that likes her

I watched the Finale last night. While some of what we expected to happen did happen, I will say the twist at the end was 100% lazy writing. Just lazy and stupid. TBH. I think the show was run out of ideas and has run its course

There’s no way in hell that Taylor would go work for him. Makes no sense

It made sense in the end that both Chuck and Axe thought they had outplayed everyone and in the end Axe might have over played his hand.

Connerty is going to jail. so probably mostly done with the series.
Jeffcoat is done, which is too bad because Clancy Brown is awesome
Rebecca is done, I mean she came out a billion dollars ahead, but Axe really destroyed her. She might come back as a nemisis though
I think Chuck and Wendy are done. I think they went past the point of no return.
Taylor (who still annoys me) is being played up as being the central villain for next year with her plan to play Chuck against Axe.
Overall I didn't mind the finale, the season wasn't as good as previous ones, but there was a certain satisfaction in Connerty going down.
At the end of the day the only way I see this series ending is with the complete destruction of Ace and of Chuck.
