I loved this show. They skillfully dragged out the "who is Reddington" question for 8 seasons without in seeming too forced with lots of twists and turns.
Towards the end of season 8 they told us without quite confirming it that he was Keen's parent, but rather than being her father, he was in fact her mother having undergone a sex change. But crucially they never nailed that explanation down.
But since Keen died, he has been quite blatantly acting as a grandparent. And then in the conversation with Agnes in this final episode they got as close as they could to confirming it albeit in some clunky "you're being a mom" or similar line from Agnes and Red pretty much winking at us
Like most others here, I found the very end disappointing, but up until the final 5 minutes I thought we were building up to something special. Sadly we weren't. Felt like they ran out of budget, said "that'll do" and went home.
Nothing in the finale was resolved other than Dembe's status. But what about Harold? Donald? Cynthia? Nothing came of the aggressive FBI agent subplot. Was convinced the guy Dembe took the phone from was a Reddington plant too...
But there are good bits. Dembe's voice over was powerful. Spain looked nice. Actually thinking about it, the best bits were in the first part. Oh well.
