I thought the first couple seasons were solid and well-balanced, but as the series went along (particularly with the introduction of Alex Wagner) it became nothing more than a Democrat talking point echo chamber. As an Independent, this evolution was very disappointing.
The move away from balance led the series to make a number of veiled predictions and analyses that, in retrospect, turned out to be comically wrong. Even worse, the series attempted to ridicule and marginalize anyone with a view different than their conventional wisdom which, again, turned out to be mostly wrong.
Overall, a good microcosm of what happens when people/organizations become hyper-partisan. Too bad because this series had a lot of promise.
