I used to be obsessed with this show. The first two seasons, I loved them so much. My interest has kinda waned though. I stopped watching in the middle of last season, because even though Holly Taylor is a capable actress, I just didn't care about Paige's transformation into teenage spy. I also didn't 100% buy Elizabeth acquiescing to the Center when it came to their plans for Paige. In the pilot, there's that iconic scene in the laundry room, where Elizabeth goes into a cold rage and smacks Philip for suggesting that they tell the children the truth about their identities. I know the show tried to insert events and characters that would make Elizabeth's reversal more believable or, at least, understandable. But I was never completely convinced. Especially when being a spy involves so much danger and pain and risk, they didn't sell me on Elizabeth guiding Paige down such a potentially toxic path. So, the whole Paige thing never felt true or satisfying to me.
Since it's the last season, I'm gonna catch up on the previous one, and pick the show up again. Overall, it's still a damn good show.
Also, because of real current events involving Russia and the hold ex-KGB officer Putin has on the current U.S. President, I anticipate being a lot less sympathetic to the Jennings this season. I used to 100% be on their side and root for them to get away and live happy ever after. But now, a part of me will be rooting for KBG scum to go down and suffer for all the death and ruin they wrought. Then again, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are so adorable, they might completely win me over again. I don't know. :P
