As far as a finale goes, it ticked a lot of boxes for me.

I was overall impressed by Shooter's first season despite a few bumps and mistakes here and there. I guess they can be excused given it's the show's first season and hopefully the next ones will keep getting better. Not really sure what season 2 holds for us but it looks promising. The finale introduces us to Mrs. Gregson. A character that I suspect will be involved with whatever BLS will deal with in season 2. I guess If I had to sum it up, the finale ties up loose ends, gives us a kind of a "happy ending" but it left me with doubt as to how they will continue the show. Overall my impressions were good for this season. I do hope however that the next one will bring more complex plot, more interesting characters and it will hopefully remove the plot armor many characters had, maybe justifiably, this season.

Just one problem in the final episode

A powerful and action-packed ending but....

Of all of the incredible (and by 'incredible' I mean outside of the boundaries of credibility) aspects of this story, the idea that someone would put a tracking device into a cookie (biscuit in the UK) for a child to accidentally swallow when eating the cookie seemed the most ridiculous to me.

Firstly, how do they put it into the cookie?

Was it included in the mixture before putting the mixture into the oven? If so, it must have needed to withstand the heat of the cooking process.

Or was it inserted into the cookie after it left the oven? If so, how?

How would they be certain that the child would eat the cookie?

If they did, how would they be certain that the child would not crunch and destroy or simply spit out the tracker when eating the cookie?

Were they not worried that the device might be damaged and rendered useless by the acid and digestive juices inside the child's stomach?

Were they not worried that the device might pass through the digestive system within a few hours and be expelled during the process of defecation?

Why did they not simply sew the tracking device into the clothing of the child?

Or, if it was small enough to swallow, why not inject it into the child's body?

This seemed a feature of the story that should have been edited out at the writing stage, long before filming began.

Solid Finale

So after swagger goes through all that work breaking into the embassy and saving his daughter... his best idea is to send her and his wife to a MOTEL?! Why not go back to the fbi offices?? Major question marks in the storyline.
