It was exciting, great crew they gelled well and each character had their own unique flaws and strengths. I really miss this series, they keep trash and throw out thrills.

I love the show, but it is disappointing that there was only two seasons. It totally captivates you, but the point that they chose to cut it off was completely messed up.
