And thus, it ends. Thank the sweet lord. I felt like I was cursed by this show to be mildly interested in it, yet never really satisfied. It had a really strong start, and I’m not entirely sure just where it went off the rails. There started a pattern where there was a bunch of random stories that came together mid season - and that was always largely impressive. I have to say that I felt that this season was both a somewhat decent swan-song, but at the same time becoming a bit too much of a soap opera and less of the fun exciting show that we started off with. This final season was very devoid of any real conflict or stakes, except for the very end (pun very much intended).
If someone were asking if they should start watching this series, I’m not entirely sure what I’d say. I suppose I’d say it’s worth giving it a kick, especially for the earlier seasons. Like so many series it just went on for the sake of going on, having lost it’s umph and way. I never hated this show, but if I’m honest it was always a guilty pleasure at best.
