Season 1 was sensational
Pity the rest of the series was bad.
It seems they put everything into Season 1, and then had nothing left in the tank for the rest of the series.
The casting was great, though.

This show was great, I finally found the time to rewatch it after 15 years.
shareI agree. The rest of it never quite lived up to that first season.

Happens to a lot of shows. Also, the way the writers' strike happened, especially with this show being done in volumes, resulted in a very truncated Season 2, from which it just never could recover. Season 3 was awful, all over the place. I thought Season 4 was decent but by then no one cared anymore. Reborn was mediocre in a landscape overstuffed with superhero stuff. Mostly bothered it once again got cancelled post-cliffhanger.
'Mostly bothered it once again got cancelled post-cliffhanger.'
Really pisses me off when they do that. When I was a kid in the 70s they didn't end seasons of shows with cliffhangers here (UK) for precisely that reason - in case the shows didn't return. They considered the viewers. Now we don't matter. They don't care if they let us down, all they care about is that there's a hook to pull people back if the show returns.
