The show has its hits and misses but when it hits, it does it rather well. I particularly like that the episodes are short (the final season offers much longer run times) so the show gets to the point. It almost gets to the point too fast but all in all, I had to remind myself that this wasn't a big budget production (although I'm sure it cost a pretty penny) and that a lot of story had to be added in its short run times. Due to that, the final season does flow smoother. There are really good takeaways and some horrid performances. The good is Monroe Hayden who holds the whole show. The messages are sweet and insightful. The final season is wonderfully made and almost seems like a different show due to its upgrades. Melanie Tornroth was great but I didn't exactly buy that she was a high schooler. The bad is Steven Acedo who plays Rath. His delivery is so flat to the point where I wasn't even intimidated by him or scared. I really couldn't figure out why Fox couldn't just get rid of him. Jacob Maciel as Alliel was also pretty cringe worthy. He never looked at any of his costars except for Oron in his final scene. He was so unsure of himself, I don't know if it was intentional or just the actor. Overall if you are testing it out, watch the final season. If you don't like that, you won't like the rest of it.
