I have to agree with another reviewer that wrote that the show starts off good. I have to disagree with the notion of only rating and reviewing a show based on a couple of episodes or even just one season. You have to see the whole package. Something that is also true of our heroes on display here. The variety at the beginning is something that is great to see.
The fact it gets predictable and jumps the shark quite early (even season 2 one might say). There are too many coincidences, too many convinient things happening, too predictable, too much hoping and giving the viewers all the characters almost all the time. And then there are character developments that are just plain ... well not good to say the least. Flipping and switching to serve a narrative or artificially heighten the tension.
You may accuse me of being too harsh and you may not care for some of those things. But I am laying them out there for you, not that they are hard to spot. So it is up to you to decide what weight you see in certain things and what matters most to you. I always follow through with watching stuff, even when I lose interest. But I want to able to know where something is going ... clearly the makers didn't think the last season here, would actually be the last season. I have not researched but there may be a continuation in comic books, something Buffy and Angel did for example. Whatever the case, it will leave you with an uneven feeling ...
