This show required you to pay close attention at first because there are so many characters but it WAS worth it. Great storylines, acting, beautiful cinematography, you name it. All that greatness came crumbling down just like a tower of Jenga. Seasons 1-6 were great. Season 7 was the beginning of the deterioration but was still a tad palatable. Season 8? I think just canceling the show and leaving it at a cliffhanger wouldve been an easier pill to swallow than what we got.
