This is a rare show in that it's continually gotten better and better as it's gone on. The politics took a major backseat after season 1 in favor of the characters, too.

It's unfair to say that Charlie dying was unnecessary until we see how his death factors into wrapping the show up. My only reservation to his conclusion is that they didn't show a slower transition from moral martyr to corporate mouthpiece. He seemed to flip overnight.

I wonder if they will show what happened during the 52 days that the show jumped.

Well that was my biggest issue with it. Turn him to shite in one episode and kill him? Crap writing, IMO. I don't get why they would only do a 6 episode season. 8 May have been better here to give more time to resolve things. It's been an extremely rushed season.

I hope we get more of explanation for this in the finale. I think it was Charlie trying to keep people from losing theirjobs. The new guy was ready to clean house if things didn't go his way. I don't see Charlie selling out just to save his own arse.
