Seasons 3 and 4


I watched seasons 1 and 2 and was surprised that I really liked it. I haven't watched it in a really, really long time. Are seasons 3 and 4 even worth watching?

Season 3 is debatable in my opinion although I have heard some people say that binge watching it, as opposed to watching it spread out over the course of 8-9 months when it aired, helps. To be honest you can probably watch the first 2-3 episode of season 3, skip ahead to maybe watch episodes 8 and 9, then skip ahead again to 16, then skip to 19 and watch the last 4 episodes (19-22). There are some important things that happen in episodes 8, 9, and 16 which is why I do suggest watching those. Beyond those though, there is a lot of wasted time where not a lot happens and wasted characters who add little to the overall story in the middle of season 3 which is when the ratings really started to suffer. I believe this was a big contributing factor in the shows cancellation. A lot of people were turned off by the direction (or lack of direction) season 3 took and never came back.

Season 4 is great for the most part (I have some issues with the way they handled some aspects of the finale but other than that I loved the whole season) although short at only 10 episodes. If you liked seasons 1 and 2 chances are you'll like 4. While I do have a few issues with the finale, it was written knowing it could be the series finale so there are no major cliff hangers like you sometimes see when a show gets cancelled unexpectedly and the writers haven't planned for it. Except for one thing it's a pretty satisfying finale even though I do wish we had gotten another (shortened) season since I loved the show :)
