I was incredibly impressed by Stephen Dillane's performance in the entire series, but especially this episode. Love the character, love the actor.

No spoilers: Season 3 was missing the synergy of the others; however, that doesn't include the last episode.

There seemed to be a "wrapping up" aspect to the third season and a dip in the powerful creative energy that came together in previous years: The creative team wasn't operating at the same level. As GLArm noted, jumps in plausibility almost destroyed credibility. But it is TV, so views might not even notice an antagonist developed E.O.D. expertise. More than that, there was a creative fire fed by interweaving various the production companies strengths that didn't survive the third season.

The rest of the wheels are flat but the emotion and humanity acted out by the characters in the last episode is a triumph, in my book.

Or maybe it was too many cooks in the kitchen?!?

Regardless, I'm just sad about how it all ended up.

Series 3 is not the same writer/producer as series 1 & 2.

The writer/producer, Emilia di Girolamo took this amazing series, smashed it on the ground and took a sheet on it, completely ruined it. She is lucky the actors are so amazing and pulled off the emotional aspects of her sheety writing.

Somehow a twenty something year old regular joe and a middle aged refugee living in a caravan is an expert hacker hacking into people's computers/accounts; a master kidnapper able to kidnap nearly twenty people; can make a complicated explosive device with remote detonation; and apparently also an animator able to make a whole animation sequence embedded with a secret message to tell the police what to do.

Watching this in 2021 and so glad series 3 writer/producer Emilia di Girolamo isn't terribly busy making TV shows because she is terrible at it!

The first two seasons were good; this third one: not so much.

The acting was excellent, the dialog was fine, the production in general was good: this was consistent through all three seasons.

The big problem with season 3 was the plot just didn't make sense. It wasn't believable that those two losers could mastermind their crimes and not get caught. They just seemed not very bright.

Also the ongoing child kidnapping was totally unrelated to the other crimes which just seemed unnecessary.

My problem wasn't with how things ended up with the main characters. It was just with an unbelievable plot that strained credulity.

p.s. Just one annoying instance of unbelievable plot actions: When Elise & her partner English guy go into a cave following a lead without at least calling in their whereabouts to their station. People are getting drugged, branded, maybe even killed - so just go into a remote cave where no one even knows where you are. Uhhhh, no.

I will not repeat what everyone else said. Read all low star reviews and they are all true. Every single word. Those reviewers who rated this season highly, this episode in particular, are merely deluded and gullible people. The writers of this season should not be allowed to write anything beyond necessity: grocery lists, to do lists, balancing their checkbook. Highly implausible villainous characters and completely unnecessary ending of an otherwise spectacular series: writers: shame on you. Ouch. Stephen Dillane, as always, very fine acting - especially given such an implausible script. Clémence Poésy - also very well done - your character (and you) deserved so very much better.

This whole series started off badly and ended even worse! It was so convoluted with subplots and so confusing trying to keep all the characters straight and figure what relationship, if any, they had with the main characters. Clearly a case of writers thinking they are just so clever, they forgot the first thing about entertaining an audience is to entertain THEM, not yourselves. I'm sorry I wasted my time watching such unbelievable trash.

First two series were very entertaining and satisfying. This third series was all over the place and required so much suspension of disbelief, that you watch it and feel like you've wasted your time. The villians were extremely implausible.

Seriously. Don't waist your time. Badly written. Badly directed. Badly...Badly...Badly everthing. As they say back home, nuf' sed!

Very implausible. Kept watching each episode hoping for some logical explanations. But some scenes never did make much sense or were simply unrealistic. Generally unsatisfying.
