Gang warfare in a hospital.

"Fair"

If this is the last episode ever of Flashpoint then it will really be disappointing. One of the best cop shows on television ended its second season with as lackluster an offering as I have ever seen from the program. This was simply and inexcusably boring and I do not even know how such a feat could be accomplished when you had an intense and seemingly easy to write story in gang warfare.

Flashpoint tries too hard not to be predictable, but I think that is what hurts the show because you know you're going to get a red herring or two every week. That's not how a series should go.moreless

Well the one thing about this show is its predictability. Tonight's finale was actually a pretty decent script. A former gang member trying to turn things around finds out his former gang is after his brother because of something he saw and is determined to safe his brother. Parker and the crew have the challenge of communicating with teenagers who have no trust in not only cops but the system that's built to protect them. But as always the team comes through in the end and in this case saves not just one life but two. As predictable as the script, seeing SRU work together the way they do may be predictable but it's always enjoyable to watch.moreless

...a finale? I was hoping for a bit more. I assume its the finale I read Hugh Dillon describing in TV Guide anyway...
I guess its a bit harder to have a cliffhanger season ending for a series which, by necessity, is so intense as a general rule. And I should be thankful that at season end we do have all the characters back in their respective places on the team, most of whom are functioning if not quite flourishing after their personal issues.
I assume its coming back next season, but I do see it being listed as "on the bubble". If I know CBS, they'll pull a Moonlight on it, and kill off another good show while keeping some other tired old dogs around...
Maybe thats why this finale felt...I don't know...anticlimactic?? Its a way for CBS to end a series for the characters with some resolution for all of them, but also leave the door open in case someone on the executive sees the light. Yah, I know. I'm laughing too...:o\moreless
