Great series, just found it on Netflix, most of the way through 2nd season.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77326801 It gets even better...all the way to the end. The only thing I didn't like, is that I think they had known time was not on their side. They jumped through so much time, compared to the first season, even the second. This could have been a 6 or 7 season show if they kept the pace and it would have covered the same time frame. While I'm a bit peeved by that, I see why they did it and in the end, it worked out OK. It was probably more to do with me, as the viewer, wanting more, than what they had actually written out. Still 100 percent a rewatch for me. It could have been a 9 season show with the talent and production but the material was very targeted. It's problem was that it had a limited audience in today's world. And it's strongest "material" was in the first season or two. I guess it's not surprising, it basically spent it's load then and then went off books and just wanted to use the characters. The pace picked up(with regard to the tech) and it was more character focused. I guess I should be happy, because while I'd think it could have been a 6 season show(at a slower pace) it could have just as easily been a 2 season show based on the tech aspect. I should be happy with what I got, and I am. The last season though, was pretty rough. Love/hate. I loved the buildup, but the ending was bittersweet. But the logic was sound, it drove all those characters together enough to where they HAD to be driven apart. Great writing.
