Original series with a lot of interesting cases.

Still, there are some clear flaws in the series which unfortunately become more glaring season after season.

Now, first, like I said before, the series is very good, interesting & is filmed in an original way. Showing both flashbacks as present to complete the episodes.

Overall, the series takes a case by case approach, nothing too flashy, some very good and others are just 'buh".

For the problems, character development is a real missing point here, whereas the characters barely meet other people, you barely see a family member, or a personal (back) story. Not saying there aren't any but they sure are limited. There are also too many coincidences imo and I wish they would've used more bigger stories, for example, a serial killer spread over a couple episodes. Those always are the most interesting. A last problem for me, is the fact that most cases are just too "simple", for ex. A friend, a family member who randomly takes a gun and shoots someone. Not many, like mentioned before, premeditated killings, or even active ones, which would make the storyline & pace of the season a lot better imo.

To finish, I want to reiterate I like the show, but lack of backstory & storyline are a surely a downer...

I'm gonna try to write a review without spoiling the episode. But I really need something off my chest.

While I'm a fan of how these last few episodes were written, some things really need to be addressed.

For example, I like the main character, but a lot of times, she really takes on a completely bad approach when it comes to talking to people, especially family members. You can't attack victims of a murder in such a way... Especially when you're not certain.

Now, the rest, good solid episodes, and this last one is one of the best, but like I said, they chose to put the emotional sides of the characters a bit on the down low, but then you also gotta be consistent to when to use it and not just here or there.

But overall, good episode(s)!

This is probably one of the most underrated series in tv history, but it has some obvious flaws, here are some examples: One: too many characters which makes for some obvious, unnecessary, plot lines Second: due to point one, some characters are seriously underdeveloped, which sees them make dumb, irrational mistakes.

Third: just some typical, irrational, decision making overall, coincidences all over the place, lack of trust, shifting of alliances from one second to the other...

Fourth; why are all vice-presidents & advisors just bad? Only thinking about themselves? Sheesh

A prime example of all the problems: Season 6... This season doesn't make sense at all. While the story overall is "okay", the timeline, decisions make no sense at all. Also, Jack is brought back and in 123 he's ready to go again, it's crazy. Wtf is this. Also, Jack still isn't trusted after everything he's done, he's still in doubt everytime... Politics & everyone still get in the way like every time. No this season could've been okay, but gets ridiculous more you watch.

In short: a very good, even underrated series, unfortunately with some obvious flaws. This unfortunately makes it harder and harder to watch as the seasons go by... 24 ep should have been 12 episodes. Which would make the plots a whole lot less ridiculous and repetitive... I'll watch everything, but I do am getting tired of these repetitiveness... It's just dumb and poorly written... First couple seasons were great, really, but ever since s6, it goes downhill.. quick.

Now, I'm reviewing this during episode 3 of season 4.

While the first couple of seasons were very good imo, season 4 starts to show some cracks I believe.

I have no intention of spoiling anything big, but the approach by some of the characters is beyond belief sometimes.

Some examples are: why are some characters always acting alone, do they not know backup? And how people avoid things has becoming too easy Yes, I like the plot and yes, I like the characters even, but I do hope they're not getting sloppy, because it's just a shame. This has become one of the best police crime series on TV but some things are becoming like your everyday police crime drama. I certainly hope that is not the case...

Second part becomes frustrating... Should've been stopped after part 1...

Poor execution & lack of character killing is really sad... Had a lot more potential actually.

Not bad but it's sad to see the lost potential...

Great! But a bit weird to see the childish fragments...

Storylines are great, sometimes almost perfect. But the decision making can be terrible. Especially from Clarke. It's so annoying... But yeah x good storyline. But should've made the characters stronger, the decision making better... Too bad

Lovely at times, but at other times, just as hypocrite af.. it's bad, really really bad... But yeah , the storyline is mostly GREAT besides those weird & yeah, 'bad' decision making & thinking (lot of times from Clarke...)

Love everything, but the Hypocrisy of Clarke ,I really really hate. To me it destroys everything.

Love it, but the flying etc. Is weird, in 5min from one city to another is very weird haha. Another point is Reid, a bit too much for me (even though I understand it). Otherwise, good series though.
