The finale was satisfying all in all - a bit of believe suspension, especially in how quickly they travel, but that plagues most international spy thrillers. It came full circle in many ways, giving closure to many of the story points. And it left it open ended enough that a new series could reboot the franchise, but I suspect Claire is done. Carrie was an exhausting character for her to play for 8 seasons.
All in all, a great show. I can't remember any sword fights but there was plenty of gun fights and explosions. Highly DOOM recommended, but start from the begining. The first seasons are really tight. It might lose some impact over time because one of the things that made the series so interesting was that it often predicted political events as they were happening. The big fail was scripting for a female president, which they struggled with afterwards. But a great ride. I will miss this show.
