Only about a 5 hour binge. I work from home and was able to knock it out pretty easy.

ONLY?

I don't have the tv on for that long in a day, even when working from home

In the middle of episode 8 at the moment, but have enjoyed this season so much more than the last. I saw the final episode was titled goodbye, so I guess this season is their swan song?

It's open ended but likely the finale unless the creator changes his mind. He's said in the past he wasn't gonna do more but no spoilers here since you haven't seen it, the way its done they could easily do more.

It is definitely a smooth exit ramp for the series, but it isn’t a full committal. I think the show is cooked, so it is best to move on, but it CAN continue. The kitchen porn that it utilized so effectively in the first couple seasons turned into awkward forced long shots in this final season.

Best for the show to end on a high-ish note than stick around too long and risk damaging its legacy.

Finished the season over the weekend. I will say it was better than last but there were definitely some duds such as the episode with Sad getting her hair done.

But like you, if this is it prolly for the best
