Season one was a very interesting season. Story was compelling, the characters, everything. Season two wasn't so good and season three was not worthing mentioning (it was incredibly bad).
I think the great problem is that the writers were not the same as in season one (s01 were the series creators, right?). This new crew simply didn't got the characters, they destroyed everything Roman, Peter and even Olivia were.
holy *beep* season 1 sucked so bad already. i came here hoping people say season 2 would be better. if you thought season 2 sucked. then it must be dog *beep* to me.
shareWell, if you thought season 1 sucked, then you're living in opposites land. That means you should watch season 2 and 3. It'll get better for you.
shareThe show definitely took a big step down in quality each new season. I struggled to get through this last one and I really cannot fathom how they managed to mess it up quite so badly. Perhaps it is for reasons others have stated or perhaps the show just didn't have that much depth to start with and was always going to struggle past season one. Hard to say. I wonder if perhaps I was just sucked into it by the awesome werewolf transformation.
Now I feel the need to apologise to the friends and family that I recommended the show to back when it was good. Ah well.

Yeah sadly I keep restarting season 3 and hope for the best and fall asleep. Season 1 was so good, and season 2 was ok. It's so sad. And you shouldn't apologize. It was good! Just really in season 1 it was the best.
shareOh, thank God. I thought I was the only one furious about his this mess ended.
It seems like they were pressured a bit too to start including elements that are prevalent in many of the "dark shows" on the networks.
I mean, by the third season we have truck heists and gangs like this is Sons of Anarchy or something. The budget was so low that we're introduced to a gang of werewolves (because how could we have just one or two right? There have to be whole societies of them like this is True Blood or Twilight) who never again changed into werewolves after the first ep, and even then, they're just standing there.
The coolest thing about the first season was the atmosphere and the character relationships they built. And at the top of season two...they literally wiped all that away and changed everything.
It went from a show about an show about an outsider Gypsy kid and his cool road-wise mom who come back to a town where their family has history and befriends the rich kid who is just as much of an outsider and whose family also has deep ties in the town. This could have lent itself to so many different threads for Peter and Roman to unravel going back centuries...but they didn't do that.
Season two felt like it was trying to out-gross Hannibal.
Season three felt like it was trying to be another BS crime organization drama.
Almost ever character other than Peter was changed dramatically and seemingly overnight.
The whole flavor was different for season 2. And the worst part was, they had so much cool stuff to work with, but they HAD to add more in the dragon dude and the baby and all that crap. I remember being so excited thinking the werewolf chick from season one was going to come back from the grave and we'd get to continue that storyline...and then some new chick they call Shelley just rips her in half in the first few minutes and it's like...well, that's over. Why even bother having her come back? And Price's super strength? Where the hell did that go?
I mean, you could weave a sweater with all the dropped story threads from season one alone. Such a shame. They should have just let the show bloom where it started instead of trying to make it like all the rest of the "supernatural" crap on TV.
