Season 5 is brilliant.


In my opinion Season 5 is the best one out of them all, the storyline is catchy, it's thrilling from the very start all the way up to the very end, the characters are more interesting, Patty is more manipulative than ever, everything in this season is just more gripping than the other seasons.

Agree. For the life of me, I can't understand the hate for Season 5 on this board. The story was compelling, the acting outstanding, the suspense spine-tingling, and the ending unpredictable yet perfect. This series is a television masterpiece.

I never saw the death of Michael coming.

I just watched the whole thing. LOVED it. Season 5 was just as you said, brilliant.

Unfortunately the last two seasons of the series (and especially season 5), became too much like just another cliched, cable series with ridiculously unnecessary sex/nude scenes and swearing every other sentence. The irritating bimbo characters (like that Australian woman in season 5) debased an otherwise high-quality series. Such a shame they thought they had to go that direction.

Agreed. Seasons 1 through 3 were top notch, 9/10. Season 4 was 4/10 and S5 was 5/10 at best. They happened after the show was revived by some dish tv company. So sad how such great shows decline.
