What BollyAI Thinks

The shortened six-episode final season earned a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score - the show's strongest per-season figure - suggesting that an ending in sight sharpened both the writing and the reception. Sorkin used the final run to give the ensemble proper farewells, with Sam Waterston's Charlie Skinner as the emotional core. The contraction did leave some subplots underserved. The conclusion is satisfying for those who invested in the ensemble from Season 1; newcomers are better advised to start at the beginning.

Season Over Season

Season 3 is a truncated six-episode goodbye - more elegiac than ambitious, and kinder to the characters than the critics initially were to the show.
