The best series ever made, Not only is it packed full of thrills, suspense, action and comedy, but it also tugged at your heart strings, Another five years of Chuck would not be enough, Role development and character acting at its finest, Thank you for no nudity and very minimal bad language,I fell in love with each character. My second time through the series was better than the first, which I thought was impossible to beat.
