The first season was a bit rocky but the team and show has really melded this season. The scene near the start of all of them in their hoodies and PJs unable to sleep was cute and made me realise how much I have grown to love this team. Teamwise I really am going to miss these guys. Jack’s wife Karen was a fierce Mama Bear in this episode and I am sure that the number of children Jack and Karen have keeping multiplying every episode. The ending was a typical Criminal Minds-esque family and team gathering and a perfect way to round off the show. I am certainly glad that they brought Ryan back to play a part in the finale but the biggest plothole of the episode has to be why wasn’t Jack wearing a bulletproof vest when he went to save his son? I mean come on writers! The finale may not have been surrounding Jack having to save his son from his undercover gig like I imagined the season had been building up to but Jack having to rescue him did happen in a different way. It felt really rushed and the “threat” wasn’t as scary when you knew there was only ten minutes left of the episode for it all to play out in. My biggest wish is that they had had this plot play out over two episodes. It got kind of interesting when the ex-KGB murderer set a trap and broke out of prison and everything that followed was what you would expect from a finale. The episode started slowly and I didn’t like how most of it was in the dark which made it hard to see what was going on. Given everything in the news, there is a certain amount of irony that this episode was based around the FBI and the Kremlin “working” together, right? Last episode had a Yeti and this episode has a clown. Remember, they did also cancel 2 Broke Girls earlier this month after six seasons and without a proper series finale.The International Response Team travels to Russia when an American ballerina is kidnapped, and Jack tangles with an ex-KBG agent who escaped from prison. CBS is the most-watched network on TV, and they can be rather ruthless when it comes to their cancellations. This is an era where shows from outside studios do have a tendency to be in danger faster, given that the market is so saturated and networks need to figure out a way to make money. This mean that CBS doesn’t have the ownership of the franchise in the same way that it does many of its other shows. Criminal Minds and its offshoots have ties to ABC Studios. Ultimately, the other big issue here is that of ownership. Even though Code Black survived during it over the course of two seasons, it was rather touch-and-go for a long time before it was renewed. Beyond that, it aired in a timeslot that routinely has plagued the network for a while. First, it premiered on CBS as a last-minute replacement for the canceled Doubt, and did not have the benefit of excess promotion. Unfortunately, it was the victim of many unfortunately circumstances. It’s not as though Beyond Borders did anything wrong. First, it’s important to get to the “why” in terms of why this happened to a show with a pretty solid, loyal following.
