Why so few reviews and comments? Maybe some SPOILERS

I think that this series was really great  and I'm surprised there are not so many posts here. I watched the whole series, the two last seasons on Netflix because I was not there when they were on TV.

First, I really loved the "vibe" between the different characters and I love them all, especially Garett, Bug, Nigel, Lucy, Woddy and of course Jordan. I love Max too, too bad he didn't stay on the series. During the last episodes I learned to like Kate too, even if she wasn't easy at first but she's got such a great expressive face! She was so funny with Nige! I wasn't that fond of Lu because I thought that Jordan was a better match for Woody: the silly guy and the "pushy" girl. So when she was gone it was okay for me. The Aussie guy was OK too but Woody was better IMHO. By the way, such a sad story about Pollack!

Finally, I think that my all time favorite character was Garett. I love actor Miguel Ferrer, his great acting skills and attitude, he's so real in many ways and he's so charismatic without even trying. His charm and the expression of his eyes make him look as a lovely anti-hero who happens to be so attractive even with his many doubts and struggles. What a great guy!
I am definitely looking forward to seeing him more and more since I really got a crush on him for a very long time. No kidding. This man is really interesting and his charisma is appealing.
Does someone share my opinion here or am I the only one?

Thanks for reading me, sorry I 'm from Europe, living in the US since a pretty long time, 17 years, but my English is still a little flawed somehow.

have only watched about a season and a half so far on Netflix.
I can not really comment as to everything about the show. I do agree about Miguel Ferrer though, as I only know from a couple of roles. The horrible depictions of Stephen King's The Stand and the original Robocop.
Looking at it now, I am disappointed Lorraine Toussaint was not in more episodes.
The charm of the father daughter relationship was poor in the first season, completely disappeared in the second, as the character development has been sketchy at best.

The connection between Jordan and Woody seems too forced. Would be helpful if the writers ever interjected some tragic event from Woody's past......
like I said, can not give a full picture, am still watching only part way through second season.

The actor who played Max, quit the series (different reasons given for why) and that forced the writers to make lots of changes. The Max-Jordan relationship had potential, but had to be abandoned (along with the big mystery in the series).

Woody did have a bit of drama in his past. His father was a cop killed in the line of duty, and his brother had chronic problems with the law. It looked like Woody had to raise himself and his brother.

I agree this show was underrated and cancelled too soon. I used to come across repeats years ago onA&E. I'm watching an old law and order now with Jill Hennessy. Made me think of this show. I really liked all the characters. I agree Miguel was great in this too. Also love Jill and the supporting cast too
