Overall, the series has a rating of 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the finale tanked to a rating of just 13%.

Here are a few of the reviews for the final episode...

"I think, as a whole, the series was a waste of time, a waste of Nick Fury, and a waste of good performances from Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Emilia Clarke, Cobie Smulders, and Olivia Colman." - Sam Barsanti of AV Club.

"Secret Invasion signs off in disappointing style. A seed of a compelling story has been sown, but it can’t mask what has been, by and large, one of the weakest MCU series in quite some time." - Bradley Russell of Total Film.

"Although the Nick Fury-focused drama seems to think it went out with a bang, the series finale opts for a whimpering, wheezing final fight and boring repetition." - Fletcher Peters of The Daily Beast.

"So, Marvel has set up its next film but hasn’t really justified wasting a story like Secret Invasion. I had such high hopes for this series, and I’m walking away so disappointed. This could have been something great. Instead, it flamed out." - Jean Henegan of Pop Culture Maniacs.

"Secret Invasion Episode 6 is just as dour and dim as the rest of the series. Samuel L. Jackson deserved a project befitting his talent and Secret Invasion squandered that potential." - Allyson Johnson of But Why Tho? A Geek Community.

The finale of Secret Invasion has a storyline that will continue into Armor Wars as well as the next Avengers Movie, Secret Wars.

The lowest-rated movie from within the MCU is Eternals, which has a ranking of 47% on Rotten Tomatoes.
