Anybody else thinks that this was a very good show ?
Or did you think it was the worst show ever made ?

I saw the first 4-5 episodes because I love the lead two actors. But I found it utterly boring, could not find a thing of interest, no put intended.

Liked it at first and then not so much.
It had potential with the idea of saving people who might be good OR bad but then went off and was just another show about the good guys vs the bad guys and the viewers left to figure out who was which.
Not the worst, not the best. Surprised it lasted as long as it did.

I actually felt it didn't quite hit its potential until season 3, thats when it started really evolving into the show it needed to be.

At first it was boring. It got better starting in season 2. Season 3 was very good. It started going down hill in season 4 and the never-ending story line with the other machine just made the show painful to watch until the end of season 5.

Seasons 2 and 3 were fantastic. Say what you want about the rest of the show, but it is hard to argue that.

Overall, I quite liked the show, however, IMO its biggest flaw was just how utterly predictable it was, basically the good guys pretty much always win and there's a happy ending.
I think the show would have been better if they failed to save people every now and again, and the "primary asset" was killed like every season or so, forcing Finch to recruit new ones. For instance, Shaw could have take over for Reese.

What you mean for the five and final season, when everything was being wrapped up? Yes, that's what I mean. Those two good guys didn't end up winning, they ended up dead and buried . |

Personally it was too little, too late for me to truly care about those events as the show went on five seasons without any proper consequences like those, making it predictable and stagnate IMO, and was clearly ending. If something like that happened in the first few seasons, it would have been interesting, especially to see how the characters dealt with it. However, you obviously don't feel the same way, so agree to disagree. |

Yes, but no one would describe, e.g., the invasion of Normandy as "utterly predictable", where "the good guys always win" and "a happy ending". |

You do know that world war 2 was won on the easterrn front rigth ? Normandy was not the decisive blow that ended Germany. Stalingrad and Kursk where the defensive blows that ended Germany. Of course Normandy was important but it was not the decisive battle that was the reason Germany lost. |

You do know that world war 2 was won on the eastern front right ? Normandy was not the decisive blow that ended Germany. Stalingrad and Kursk where the defensive blows that ended Germany. Of course Normandy was important but it was not the decisive battle that was the reason Germany lost. I never said Normandy was the decisive blow that ended Germany. I chose that example simply because it was a well known battle where the good guys won but at a heavy cost. But yes, I've seen this animated data visualization, and yes, the Russian losses during World War II were utterly staggering: io9.gizmodo.com/this-animated-data-visualization-of-world-war-ii-fatali-1709065880 |
