So the series ends. We have a white supremacist group that the authorities are forced to protect, even though they would rather not. A young woman, whose black husband was killed, decides to go rogue and kill the leader. There is a lot of collateral damage. It's interesting that as awful as these people are, she traps and kills them. She is quite enterprising but she is evil herself. We are supposed to care because she has a daughter. It isn't so simple. Once again, the authorities act like idiots when it come to apprehending people. They like to go up to an armed suspect who is desperate and try to subdue them. Of course, they get a kick in the groin or a chop to the neck and that suspect is on the loose. This is a good time to finish this because the writing is so lame.

The ICC disappears in a puff of mediocrity
Your-Mum-1357910 November 2017
And so ends Season 3 leaving us with yet another tangle of loose ends. Edward Allen Bernero clearly expected Crossing Lines to be renewed for a fourth season, setting up a number of story lines (Marco's long-lost sister for one) to be continued in the future. But here we are two years later, and there's still no sign of the ICC team returning. Ever.
Given that Season 3 didn't even attempted to answer any of the cliff hangers created in the final episode of Season 2, we were never going to be satisfied. And the loss of Fitchner's world-weary Hickman was a disaster. Don't get me wrong, the cast of Season 3 try their best, but nothing quite works, which is probably why the finale feels a bit damp. Sure, there's a riot and plenty of mayhem, but I just didn't care by the end.
But, stranger things have already happened with Crossing Lines. It may be that the ICC team returns with yet another drastically altered team of international misfits - and no attempt to follow up Season 3's hanging story lines. Perhaps that's exactly what Bernero is planning right now.

Well this is the end - not with a bang but a whimper.

I enjoyed the first two series. Most characters were flawed, personalities were developed, and the plots were interesting. Unfortunately with the exit of four of the main characters at the end of series two it went downhill, a little like New Tricks did but worse. Elizabeth Mitchell probably is the worst addition, mainly because she is just a clone of the many women in USA CSI-type cop shows ie. blonde, attractive, middle-aged, and clever. Sorry but I have seen it all before, give us something different. A sad end to what started off as a promising series.
2nd and 3rd seasons.

Warning: Spoilers
As much as they try to fill the voids left by the departing cast members, it's usually not an easy job to fill the void of one, however to fill the void of 4 of the original cast members, they just couldn't pull it off, and IMO the 3rd season did not meet up with the standards met in the 1st two seasons.
Evil caricatures of right wingers and sainted leftists
writetopcat24 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is typical Hollywood PC propaganda in all it's glory. The assassin is shown in a sympathetic light because her husband, a black man, had been murdered, presumably by right wing hooligans. Even the leftist assassin gets our sympathy. The PC promoting characters are presented as opposing violence, and protecting the free speech rights of even those with whom they vehemently disagree. Of course this flies in the face of real life where leftists try constantly to chill and censor the speech of those who don't hold their viewpoints. Violence, murder, and mass murder are committed by leftists in most cases when the political persuasion of the perpetrator is known. In the show, the PC promoting characters are polite and support the rule of law. This is another Hollywood fiction as anyone who lives and works in Hollywood well knows. If you hold any conservative views, or even fail to voice support for leftist viewpoints, you are blackballed and viciously attacked in print.
But since Hollywood moguls control the content of the shows we watch and the news we get, they can portray leftists as the good guys and the rest of us as awful people. This show is just so much leftist propaganda and rubbish
