This review doesn't have spoilers as such but does discuss the general direction of the show in each season.
I've already written soooo much about this show in my blog that I don't want to go into too much detail in this review (Ranting & Raving on Wordpress, just saying) but I can sum up my opinion on this show in three very simple points.
Season 1 was incredible. This show filled a gap that other shows had left and I couldn't have been happier with everything about it. It was gritty, it showed a very realistic side to cults/religions and the characters were all very interesting.
Season 2: Changes direction completely and while still being entertaining to watch, is no longer anything special. It feels like the show loses its purpose and doesn't hugely acknowledge the events of season 1.
Season 3: Just no. Honestly, I couldn't be more disappointed by this season. There's no consistency with characters from episode to episode. Each story arc is ridiculous and apart from one, all of them spring from nowhere. If you want to see what it would be like if Jessie Pinkman had a psychedelic trip where he saw himself become a modern day Jesus, then you'll probably enjoy season 3...no, that actually sounds kind of cool. Hell, that would have been a better story that season 3. Sigh! it sucks, let me just say that.
I gave this 6/10 but id probably rate season 1 as 9 or 10, season 2 as 7or 8 and season 3 as 4 or 5 so I decided to round it up a little from 3 or 4 to 5 just to acknowledge how good the show used to be.
