I'm glad this show is over. I've been watching since season 1 first aired and it has always been one of my favorite shows, but they got way too heavy handed on the political bullshit over the last several seasons.
It didn't necessarily ruin the show, but it made fast forward it in some spots. I tuned in to watch a drama/comedy about a charismatic dysfunctional family, not get some out of touch lesson in social justice.
I didn't mind the way it ended though. I thought they did a decent job putting a bow on the whole thing.
