I watched this show from beginning to end and I am blown away! The first season was moderate and a little bit slow, so I can understand people don't like this show when judging it only from the first few episodes. The seasons that follow give deeper layers to the story. Where the movie stopped at some point, the series takes the story to a whole different level. Although sometimes the different story lines are difficult to follow, and sometimes need a second watch, I can promise you it is worth it. (no spoilers) I loved the ending of the story, and think the writers did a great job to write the ending this show deserves.

Well based on most of the reviews, my opinion is in the minority, but I thought that Season 1 was by far the best. Subsequent seasons with the Red Forest Cult was nonsense. Stories get convoluted and ridiculous in subsequent seasons. Especially in seasons 3 and 4 they seemed to just make episodes for the purpose of going back in time to specific eras to showcase the Nazis, have Cole dress up like a cowboy in the old West, etc. And the story arch becomes secondary to the comedic attempts. I did like the "Brothers" episode in Season 3. I thought it was particularly well done and the cinematography splendid. Unfortunately, that episode concludes the "bromance" between Cole and Ramse, which I though was the best aspect of the later seasons. And then focus shifts too much on the Cole/Dr. Railly romance. I did enjoy the finale. In fact you can watch season 1, skip seasons 2-4, and watch the finale and you miss nothing of any signicance to the story (the aforementioned "Brothers" episode is worthwhile however).

One of the Best Sci Fi shows. The plot,the writing and acting everything is spot on. A must watch series for all sci-fi lovers.

I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but still I'd recommend this show for everyone. Exceptional plot with a very well written script, and even though I'm not an acting coach I'd say the acting was great. I'm actually so sad that it's ended, but so happy that I've been watching the show ever since it first came out and have rolled with it ever since. To the creators, writers, producers, directors, and, above anyone else, the cast, thank you for this amazing show.
