I marathoned the season yesterday. Fell off early this season....man...that finale was spectacular.
It's really hard to sum up how I feel about this show, because a part of me wants to call it mindless fun, and blood and *******, but you could tell they wanted to be more than that. And there were so many technical issues...a lot of them out of their control, I mean there's no replacing Andy, but this had to mean something.
I don't know where to place this on any list of great TV shows, because it's such a rare, particular thing. It's so hard to recommend, because there's so much extra you'd have to explain first... You can't say the first season was crack, but then it fell off. You can't say, just get past the ****** first couple eps, then it's smoove all the way through. You gotta explain casting changes, the first half of season 2, sometimes 300 and Spartacus...it's a lot.
I'm gonna watch the finale again and then hit this thread back up.
