I'm about half-way through episode nine and I'm putting it on pause to write this as I'm really starting to regret watching this season. This was a great show and last season was enough to call it quits, which they should have done.
Wrap up things just a bit differenly at the end of season two, don't introduce any cliff-hangers and pat each other on the backs for creating a great show. Instead they tried to stretch things too far, too fast and went with the whole timeline limbo like Lost did.
I was almost on board with things up until about episode three or four of this season and they just started reaching and stretching out time. The court room and Cuban drug stuff just pushed things too far out of reach for any suspention of disbelief. They were just throwing out ideas left and right and in the end it's just a big mess. At this point I can't imagine a final that would turn this ship around.
UPDATE:
Just came back to confirm the ending was a tragedy. Please, if you haven't seen this season yet stop now and enjoy what you have already watched.
This season of Chef's table seems misplaced; The original Chef's table only has 6 seasons and Chef's Table BBQ is a separate spin-off (i.e. a new series), so it should be a new series.
