Why in the hell am I just getting into this now?? Shows is very captivating. Was home sick the last few days and it’s all I’ve been doing. Just finished episode 16 of the first season, so no spoilers please!

Enjoyed this show when it started but it just kept going and going without ever really answering any of its questions (at least when I quit)

James Spader is great in it though

Agreed. The first few seasons were must see for me. I’ve watched them all but it has gone on too long. James Spader is fantastic though.

First few seasons are some of the best in TV history. We stopped watching after a very pivotal moment that I won’t spoil for you, I believe was the finale of season 8

Agree with others that it wore thin after a few seasons. That show would be nothing without James Spader, and we decided the episodes without Liz were much better. Some of the writing + her "acting" got pretty bad.

We loved this show for the first 6 or so seasons. It's really jumped the shark since then. There were multiple times last season where I said it just needs to end. However, we've made it this far; we'll finish it out. Mainly becuase James Spader is always so damn good in his role.

It was much watch in the early days, like other said Spader is awesome, and again like others said it just kept going and going with little payoff. I've read the cliffnotes of what happened since I dropped off. Is it still going?

You'll get sick of it soon enough. You'll either get sick of the smarmy James Spader or the never ending story line that always teases some new big reveal, but then never delivers. I suffered through three seasons of this crap before finally giving up on it before I went into a homicidal frenzy with the overwhelming need to slap James Spader in his ugly kisser. He's not worthy of a manly punch to the jaw.

I’m on season 2 of Walking dead. So far it’s ok. Not as good as I heard. Maybe I’ll try this show next. I’m not really a fan of shows that have no real ending though

If you don’t like twd after the first few seasons, stop. It goes downhill fast imo

Being someone who watched it a lot during the first couple seasons. Can I just get see how it jumped the shark? I just wnat to know how it ended for the main people?

Season 10 is off and running. Not bad thus far but I am only three episodes in. I gotta ride this horse over the finish line. Anyone else watching?

Is James Spader a cool dude or what? He used to be a heartthrob back in the day. He got fat and old like the rest of us.

We are finishing it out since we've made it this far. This season has been a little better since the writers know it's the last season. Foreshadowing on what's going to happen is pretty blatant, though.
