I started out being spellbound by the first three episodes of season #1. It was a tight drama with very interesting lead characters. IT began to wander, but I stayed with it.
Probably one of my faults is I do not give up on anything so I watched all four years. What a mess it turned in to. The plot became repetitious and the characters became one dimensional. Female characters were cardboard except for the wife of Axe, who was dropped from the show by a truncated marital problem. Too bad.
Do prosecutors sometimes take illegal liberties to get convictions? Yes they do. (Note to reader: I am a retired litigation lawyer.) . However in the Federal system it is very very rare.
I thought the women were miscast, but foe Axe's wife. I thought many of the small character roles were done really well, particularly the always accomplished John Malkovich.
I think these series need new writers as they progress for fresh ideas as the plot lines tire and get worn out.
