Great series but Google won't let me buy things again. Am 43 years old and can't prove my age I won't be putting money on google if google keeps this up. I'll go to other place to buy things very disappointed. One min they allow me to buy next I can't. I haven't got credit card etc or anything like that. I was hoping to watch rest of this season. Am losing trust for google. I buy google play cards thinking u will let me buy things like I have been for year now !! Big let down.

This was the best show I was unable to watch Chicago Fire. The action took a twist to be honest I was confused and thought that a second season would have helped to explain this. Now a message directly to JJ Abrahams please make a second season!!
