They've only said he's got some "personal issues" he's sorting out. I assume that either it's something really bad or he's at odds with the producers and might still be supporting Jussie. I guess we'll see if he's back for the series finale whenever it gets filmed.

I came in here to post that I just finished watching the series finale and was totally underwhelmed.  Then I saw that article about how it's a makeshift finale and I feel slightly better ONLY because I now know the show didn't originally plan for this to be the finale.  It was so lackluster and not a proper end to such a dynamic show (even though it became unwatchable the last couple of seasons).

 

I feel bad for any of the remaining fans, that ending was so underwhelming.

Same here. I loved season 1 and I'm not sure I made to to season 3, because I quickly started to lose interest during the second season...something just didn't feel the same. It was a really fast decline for me...I went from being so enthralled in this show like I haven't been for a long time to just not even caring. I wonder if it got better after season 2 or maybe I just gave up too easily.

I knew the show was going to fall off the minute I saw Cookie put on that gorilla suit in the second season premiere. I just sat there thinking "What is you doing???". It looked so stupid. It's crazy how quickly they squandered all that goodwill from the first season.

That's how it was for me. I loved Season 1 and devotedly watched every episode. Season 2 it all fell apart for me and by Season 3 I dropped off and never watched again. 

 

I can't say I fault FOX about the series finale. The Covid-19 pandemic isn't going anywhere and the show went from #5 in the ratings to #86. There was no business case to be made for airing a finale wrap up 2 hour special in the future. It was also likely to become a scheduling nightmare as the crews and cast went their separate ways.

This. 

 

The season 2 opener was when the show jumped the shark for me. I also thought it was insulting seeing as the message was being against Black men being incarcerated. Lee Daniels, despite being Black, does and says some problematic sh-t. 

 

And I agree with others that stories that could've been drawn out for seasons ended up being sped up and soon forgotten. I totally think this show went to sh-t when they stupidly killed off Annika. I think putting Cookie back in Lucious' orbit so easily killed the show too.
