This show got really good in the end!

Its sad it never caught on ratings wise because it really did take off after its first few episodes felt a bit too generic. I really liked all the twists and the domestic terror storyline. I ended up really liking Charlie and the rest of the casts too.

I'm guessing it wont come back but if it doesnt it was great they actually wrapped up the whole thing in one season. They couldve easily let the shows storyline end in the episode before and keep us guessing to next season. I give them credit for not doing that.

I doubt it will come back but if it does they have one viewer who will be watching it loyally.

Marvel 2015: Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Avengers 2, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Jessica Jones!

The show got better once they ignored 'case of the week' and mainly focused on the Charlie/Fatah storyline.

However, I think the big problem with this show is the lack of credibility. The way the writers wrote for Charlie character is not convincing. In my opinion, they seem to make her a jack-of-all-trades and smarter than anyone in the room with her. She's always the one who figured out everything, and probably good at everything.

Especially in EP 113, Charlie went solo to take out one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world? Firing gun like a female version of Jack Bauer with no back-up? I couldn't make myself to believe that. She's an analyst, a top one if I'm not mistaken. But she's not a field operative or something like that. It's really incredulous to me.

I like Heigl and the supporting cast. But this show is poorly written in some ways. I'll still watch it if/when it comes back for season 2. But I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.

Wasn't she a field op before going back to Langley as an analyst?

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
