This show was just so goddamn frustrating. For two and 2/3 seasons it kept teetering on the brink of being great, but at any given moment there was always something holding it down. Some sub plots would be great but some would be painfully awful, and then suddenly the great ones nosedived and vise versa. Characters would flip from abrasive to brilliant on a dime, but they managed to overlap each other so there was always someone to be pulling for. And then you'd have an episode with quality drama but punctuated by a terrible action sequence. Probably the biggest saving grace were the set designs and costumes. I mean it was certainly good, but it constantly felt like with just a little nudge it could have been so much better. I think ending on season one or even two would have been a better option. The villain of the day have their plans circumvented, and the side plots could be filled in at your imaginations desire. But as good as three started out it's better to skip it all together than to sit through all the new stuff that is never to be paid off, and the old stuff that will never be resolved, all to be punctuated by some sloppy half thought out casual gesture of an ending. I'm fine with the death of Vanessa, but she deserved to go out with style. I really would have preferred an open cliffhanger than what we got.
