A full season is priced too high. I would never pay near $40-$50 dollars for a full season that will barely reach 25 or a little more. $1.00 pre show is even ridicilous. Especially when these shows loose value quickly. I would prefer a better package on Netflix or Hulu or a newer and better alternative than this expensive app.

With an amazing cast and writing team, every season has been great and increasingly gets better the more I watch. The procedural investigative aspect isn't so monotonous as other detective shows. There is always a good amount of depth to each character they introduce; a constant theme is that no one is irrelevant. Again, the writing team is exceptionally good. I haven't come across dynamic and strong story writing like this in a long time. The show runner and the rest of the writers should be proud.

Rewatching the show again with gf and she loves it,Also the writers could have done better by not making Samaritan and the villain with the British accent which was just a way to not make any more cool villains. Samaritan took over the whole show and it was rather annoying. Should have just had the machine only. If they had made a few changes I could see there already being a season 9 or 10 right now.also how is it john died at the end from the same gun shots he's had before...
