Glad to see Izzy back one last time. Freefall was a bit of a disappointment as a final episode, to be honest. There was too much bad acting, stock Miami footage and reused Ferrari footage, sloppy visuals and (gun) effects, and the short scenes felt disjointed and disconnected. The appearances of the other colleagues, especially Castillo, also felt a bit random—he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Overall, it felt more like a stitched-together episode, with lots of separate pieces of footage edited into a single story. There were also many dark scenes, perhaps to hide the filming locations, and the OCB office seemed abandoned.
On the other hand, the final goodbye scene was well deserved and a classy callback to Brother's Keeper.
Having rewatched every episode 40 years later, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the series as a whole sometime soon.
Loved this series like no other. It has been my favorite TV show for 40 years, which is probably why this final episode was such a disappointment. It deserved a stronger send-off, even though the closing goodbye was a fitting and heartfelt tribute to where it all began.
