Also, who cares about 'logic', yes? Not a real hardcore fan of the show - they will not. Some things get negated and others (prison sentences) get 'explained'. But back to the 'final' (?) season, which picks things up where we left them, but is way better than season 4 - ok that is not really difficult to achieve. Then again, there are over 700 - so there is that. And I'm almost surprised no one has 'rated' my review yet. The latter might not happen, no matter how much quite a lot of fans want this to become reality. and as I predicted 6 years ago or so, became reality.

If you can stop at/after Season 2, you might do yourself a big favor. But that was never a problem (at least not for my viewing pleasure). So there is some violence and a bit of cursing, but not as much (and no nudity) as in other shows. Everyone was making a big deal that this was a network show and not cable. Even the advertising break interlude has a nice touch (of course watching it on Disc, you can avoid those). The theme is really good and sets the tone. The show also got nominated for its score (and might have won a few awards) and rightfully so.

But that's just me I guess, the actor playing him, does a great job and later in the show there is a female 'counterpart' (sort of). Which made me wonder, especially considering the crimes that character committed, why some people were rooting for him. Especially with the ladies and it's not purely for his looks (no offense). Talking about acting, one particular character (a bad/psychotic one) seems to be a favorite. The misdirections worked (the ones you spot and the ones you missed) and the acting was more than decent enough. You had some surprises but you also had some things to look forward too. Season 1 and 2, with great characters and while still some peculiar coincidences, it was really suspenseful and did hold its own. Season 4 goes completely Telenovela on the viewer and while it could have been even more ridiculous, it was enough to almost make me rate the whole thing a 6 instead of a 7. Season 3 seems like Shakespeare compared to it.

Still compared to what they went and did in Season 4. While watching Season 3, I realized this was more or less a rehash of the first season (though not as good). It really loses its grip (on almost everything) with the end of season 2, to make way for the third season. I really liked those, the suspense was held high, there was something at stake there. If I were to rate the seasons individually, the first two seasons would have gotten a much higher rating.
