That's about how I saw it too. The BDSM was not necessary and the last scenes were rushed compared to the rest of the series, but, as my first series, I did enjoy it. I never understood and still don't where the Indian girl fits into the rest of the story but maybe that is because I haven't seen any of the others.
Loved the series. Looked forward to watching them the last month. Cheered loudly when Alex and Spencer were reunited. What a fabulously romantic love affair. Agree with the BDSM portion being excessive...could have left that to our imagination. Alexandra was a tragic figure so I suspected she would come to an untoward fate although I had high hopes for a happy one. Loved how she chose to not live a sad life and go out into on her terms. LOVED the shoot em up scenes. Also cudos to Cara's character. Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford were fun together.

Now I have to wait for something else to watch...
I also thought the BDSM scenes distracted from the series. Glad to hear I was not the only one.
