This is a show that had one of the best pilots I'd ever seen, and then subsequently had an amazing first two seasons and then really really started to feel like it was repeating itself. I recall not really enjoying the third season all that much mostly because I was just hating Jackie - she kept getting close calls and the universe kept giving her a get out of jail free card. There were no consequences to her actions and it annoyed the shit out of me. Enter Mike Cruz. Adding Bobby Carnivale to the cast gave it a dynamic that it absolutely needed. A show like this requires a character like him to make you want to root for Jackie again - someone whose head is so far up their ass that you can see what good she's doing again. All of Jackie's past actions came back to bite her in this season and it made for a great (maybe best) season of the series. If you haven't gotten around to this little gem just yet, do yourself a favour and get on it, just keep in mind that the third season, while not great, comes back around in the fourth. Given how this season ends I have absolutely no idea what they'll do next - but I'll be there when it comes back!
