i LOVED it. it is STILL my favorite show. season 6 is a little messy but has some good
episodes.

season 7--WOW.

i liked the show, the series opener to me was the best i ever saw. they do however tone the mother down a bit, which is good.

just watch. you will not have wasted anything but time.

i hope you like it, as much as most of us here did. and still do. i MISS it.

glad you are enjoying it!! season 6 changes some, and 7, remarkably so, at least in some aspects. but, it has some of my favorite episodes.....

let us know what ya think! don't be as rare as the moth! lol

Were you ever right! This show was an amazing ride from start to finish. I didn't mind the change in the final two seasons because I loved these characters so much. Would have missed it but for you.

Loved it since i saw it on tv during the non ratings season. It eventually got put in ratings season because of its popularity. I always recommend it to people. It is so cool and interesting.

It works well for 5 seasons, but the tone changes in the final two, especially the last one. Honestly I think that's a result of how TV was changing then. USA Network's "Blue Skies" programming was going away in favor of grittier stuff. And right now, they only have two viable series in Suits (which is not in its youth anymore) and Mr. Robot (which is something a casual viewer would have a tough time diving into and out of). It's happening everywhere: Leverage and The Closer are gone, and TNT's biggest shows are more dark: Animal Farm, Major Crimes, and The Last Ship.

I've watched the entire series 3 time's. I absolutely love the show.

I just finished watching this show. I discovered it by accident about 6 weeks ago. I was hooked after the first show. Great show, i enjoyed all the seasons, but season 7. Still trying to process it. I did not mind going dark. I get why , but felt the storyline was all wrong. They totally change the characters of Micheal and Fi and who they have been for 6 seasons and we were suppose to be okay with that? The last epsiode got it right in the last 15 minutes though. Still I feel a bit cheated by Matt Nix and whoever else involved in production on the story. There were other ways to go serious without changing everything we had come to love about those 2 characters and the show. Still what a great show, one of my all time favorites for six and half seasons!!

Just finished binge watching the series as well. Heard about it on a whim how it was a spiritual successor to MacGyver, one of my favorite shows of all time. Can't believe I never watched it when it was on -- i loved it. Only thing I liked with the series going darker was Jeffrey Donovan showing off some of his acting chops. For most of the series I always felt like he was overacting, but when it started to go dark, his character felt real to me. I'm going to miss it now that I finally finished it!
