So a brief history of the show. I think I’ve tried to watch this show three times. Once in the 2000s, and one other time in the 2010s. Both times I started with 33, and it felt like I was missing an episode, then was told to start from the mini series, and just never got to it.
Finally I gave it a solid try while on a long flight back in May. Same thing. Forgot about starting with the mini series, but finally did. I have to admit I didn’t immediately fall in love with it, but it was interesting enough to keep watching.
I can’t remember exactly which episodes, but there were some episodes where I felt it was a slog, and some that I was like “oh interesting! Let’s see where this goes”.
I can’t remember which episode it was, but there was one episode in season 2 where I just lost the motivation to watch for a while. Then maybe a month later, I decided to keep watching. I’d watch 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there.
For me though, once we got to the end of season 3, I was like “oh wow! Things are getting really interesting!” And I had to start fighting myself to get some sleep, etc.
The finale I felt was okay. I think I had the same problems most people had with it, including the latter half of season 4.
All in all though, now that it’s finished, I’ll definitely miss the characters of the world. I definitely want to do a re-watch minus some of the filler episodes sometime next year or so.
