This is one of my favorite series ever if not the favorite. The characters are written perfectly. With that said I was disappointed with the final season. This is my full series breakdown.
Season 1 9/10 Great first season.
The only reason its not a 10 is because it had way too many allegiances changes. And some balance of power issue that didn't make sense. Other then that its a prefect first season.
Season 2 11/10 I think this is the best season of any show ever. They fixed all the small issues from season 1. And you get all the big guns in here. In my opinion they didn't match this season after that.
Season 3 10/10 Another great season. Its started a bit different but evolved great. The last few episodes made this season top notch.
Season 4 9.5/10 This season was different aswell. It also had only 13 episodes compared to the previous 23. That changed the pace and the story telling. The ending of this season should have been series finale. It's a 10/10 series finale no doubt and makes sense.
Season 5 7.5/10 This is the weakest season by a long shot. It had a mix of a weak bad guys and leftovers of a bad guy from season 4. They also killed many characters, and some of the deaths didn't make much sense. Overall it felt like a very long setup for hope's legacies. My biggest issue that it was lacking the sophistication previous seasons had. It made me say many times no way this doesn't make sense.
The finale isn't bad, but if this season didn't exist, season 4 finale would be the perfect one for The originals.
