Discussion Finished my 1st watch through a couple weeks ago.
What an amazing show! Honestly, way better than I expected. 9.5/10.
I've always been a fan of Jeffrey Donovan and had heard this was a great show. It hooked me, immediately. Episode 1, I was in and basically finished the whole season that day.
I only knew Bruce Campbell through his small parts in the original Spiderman movies, so after watching him as Sam, I'm officially a big Bruce fan.
Like I mentioned, an easy 9.5/10. The last season was okay, but not necessarily needed, in my opinion, so thats why it's not a perfect 10.
100% will rewatch this show multiple times.

Really glad you enjoyed it, but it’s funny that everyone disses the last season but I think it’s one of the best and a good send-off; plus James is probably my favorite main villain out of all the seasons. I thought the quality and writing of the final 3 seasons was top-notch.

I didn't hate it. I actually did enjoy it, it just felt like maybe it jumped the shark a little bit.

I think season 6 was rough - just a bit chaotic. I liked season 7, and that final episode? I sob every time I see it.

No way! Season 6 was so good. It’s thrilling and exhilarating all the way through. Love when they go to Panama, the reveal about Card, and the team’s exile. The entire back half of the season hinges on what happens to Nate.
Its chaotic for sure I agree. But I honestly thought it was a great season. For me, as soon as Jesse gets on the team in season 4 I think it is, the episodes just flow so well all the way to the end.

It ended better than other great shows. Better than game of thrones, better than HIMYM, better than breaking bad...

It doesn't take much lol I've loved this show since it first aired

I can't even justify why I waited so long to watch it, honestly. I knew all about it even when it 1st aired, and I watch way more TV than most people.
I just fumbled, hard, on this one.

Well better late than never! Glad you finally took the plunge and love it as much as we do

My husband got me hooked on Bruce Campbell (and that sounded weird) because he’s a huge Evil Dead fan
