I guess that's what J.J.Abrams does. Creates good 1st season then fu*ks everything up!

Finished with season 4. Now waiting for last season to end so I can watch it, but I doubt it will change my opinion on this show!

for me the first season was by far the weakest. no bigger picture, not much going on in the background and each episode was on its own. it felt like a tame copy of x-files.

Is season 5 worth watching? I've heard it takes place on a completely different setting compared to S04.

I'd like to know that as well! I have it on my HDD but not sure if it's worth my time.

season 5 couldn't keep up with 4 or 3 in any way. it wasn't that bad either but coming from season 4 you gotta lower your expectations quite a bit

LOL, what were they thinking then??? I really liked first season, and now hearing this is just sad! I guess I'll watch it eventually!

if you liked the first season then season 5 is not such a big difference but season 3 and 4 were a completely different level

Alright, I didn't predownload the entire thing like yoco, so I think I will grab S05E01 and see if I like it

I finished watching season 5 today, and the answer to my question above is yes. The setting is completely different from the usual and that might take a little time to get used to, but the attractive of the series remains.

The finale was so moving...
