I really enjoyed the first two seasons of the show. The flavor of the EU was a wonderful departure from the usual American fare. The cast was fun and were close and each had an interesting back-story which highlighted the countries where they were raised. They had personality and heart and fascinating stories, all of which kept me engaged. That is what my rating is based upon. Don't bother watching season 3. New cast, new show runners. Terrible writing. Very cold and procedural. Wooden acting. I think they tried to slick it up for American audiences, whom they clearly think are idiots so they explain everything. The characters are very stiff and all-business. The acting is bad and the relationships unfriendly. Instead of warmth and 'family' atmosphere between them, a lot of criticism and meddling. I absolutely loathed it. What a waste to murder a fun show that gave us a feel for the world outside the US.
