Good final for the shows 3rd season. Nice to see more of Maia. I see forward to next season.
Maybe a little less cutaway cartoons, though.

Great episode will definitely watch it again

I like this show a lot. Last few episodes worried me but this was great. The kind of thing I'd want to watch again. A little annoyed that it's the last episode of the season. I hope next season is at least as good as this episode was.
Glad it's over

I hoped this season would end in a good way. Finally, Blum and Maia are gone, they were very much alike competitive and dishonest narcissistics. Maia only wanted power and forged her friendships for power. She was not a great character but a weak privilege actor. It looks like Diane has escaped the threats of the resistance - book club. Season 3 was difficult with the me too business with Rederck, the book club and more Trump politics. The show has changed irection and focus from the first season. Now its all about politics and not the law and clients. So I may not continue watching and Diane is changing and loosing her sanity.
Good Riddance....

Well there goes two of the most annoying and maybe polarising characters. I am sorry, but not having to watch and listen to Maia Rindells pained and tortured voice and pitiful character development anymore is a godsend!! And who in this day and age thought It was a good idea to glorify fentanyl?!? Really... how many people have overdosed and died due to fentanyl. So hopefully by season 4 no more "shorts" and no more glorification of opioid abuse!!
Good Episode

A different point of view

A lot of the reviews here aren't really reviewing the content of the episode, but talk about what they would rather have appear if they made the show. It goes without saying that they do not.
I can see that some people may be offended by what may come across as a glorification of opioid misuse. I don't see it as glorification, more a metaphor for letting go of conventions and propriety, and embrace of chaos. In "Medium Raw", Anthony Bourdain wrote the following passage: Norman Mailer described the desire to be cool as a 'decision to encourage the psychopath in oneself... where security is boredom and therefore sickness...".
The final scene of this episode shows Maia Rindell embrace her inner coolness, letting go of the baggage saddled on her by her father and setting out in her own direction. In this, Blum is an agent of change; he simply gives Maia the permission to let all that baggage go.

Where's the legal drama gone?

This show started as a great legal drama but has now deteriorated into an anti-Trump political satire. Michael Sheen's portrayal of eccentric lawyer Roland Blum was so over the top it was ridiculous, he was obviously channeling Jack Nicolson's performance in The Shining - and then some. Let's hope that he and Rose Leslie enjoy their escapades in D.C. and are never seen in this show again. The other plot lines stretch credibility to its limit and the little cartoons just interrupt the flow of any narrative. This should now be billed as a comedy. Something pretending to be a drama which really isn't any more. The constant anti-fascist politicising has become very wearing too. On the whole, the audience doesn't need to be lectured to about politics. We can think for ourselves, thank you.
Maia and Blum lol

Those two together driving off to presumably D.C - great ending can't wait to see what happens there. - I like those two together and hope to see more of them
Lucca , a mother to a 10 month old - worried about the end of times - rather than be with her baby ... Drops acid. Irresponsible. Dropped this episode down a few points for me because of that

perfect horrible ending to a perfectly horrible season

This season just got worse and worse, and more and more clownish and cartoonish (aside from the insertion of actual cartoons). And then, to cap it off, at the end, when it's night time long after the end of a work day (if they have those anymore on this show) and Lucca presumably needs to go home SOMETIME to see her TOTALLY MISSING baby, Lucca is offered by our friendly investigator -- the way you'd offer a breathmint -- some acid. "Want some?" "Sure" Lucca says without hesitation and pops it in. Does she ever plan to see her baby again or does she plan to do so while hallucinating on acid? This ridiculous, dangerous, hopefully unrealistic moment is as representative of the entire absurd-in-a-bad-way season as any in this final episode to which I celebrated not the end of the world -- but the END OF THE SEASON!!! YAY! And promptly then cancelled CBS All Access I had only for this.
Episode 310

It is disappointing that Maia had her best episode in what will probably be her last. I am glad they moved past some of the chaos and just had some courtroom stuff for a change.
Of course, the "swatting" cliffhanger was a dumb move proving they aren't abandoning their anti-Trump agenda any time soon.

Acid-inspired season?

Every time I start thinking there might be some sence in all this season, it falls to a new low. In her last scene Cush Jumbo's Lucca, a mother to a ten-month-old baby, takes acid! Makes me hope next season Colin returns to take his son away from her. What were the writers thinking? In this particular scene and the whole disastrous season?
please less of Maia and Marissa - Season 3 review.

I don't like when ungrateful, entitled characters are not punished for what they are.
Marissa and Maia are both entitled, and lack the sensitivity of not only acknowledging their privileges but working towards being empathetic towards the öther" less privileged. And additionally Maia is just plain ungrateful! What right does she have to behave like that when Diane has helped her becoming something when no one else would have. When the show that is all about politics, privilege and inequality how can the writers be perpetuating and rewarding the same entitlement in their characters that they are trying to ëxpose" in the society.
Which leads me to believe that the show writers are mostly privileged people who are not questioning themselves enough.
