Starts off strong, but gets dumber as it goes. By the end, it is almost laughably bad. There are multiple glaring factual errors and plotholes, some subplots are left dangling and lead nowhere. On top of that, it is just wildly unrealistic on the technical side and incredibly naive when it comes to America and its discourse.

And as much as I love de Niro, he just phones it in here. Any grumpy grandpa could have played his role. Hell, Matthew Modine is ten times more charismatic here. Why wasnt he the lead? Just because he isnt that big of a star? I would much rather have someone who would really sink their teeth into this role.

Wow, this is the new "hit"? If so, it makes me really sad. The story is extremely dumb and implausible and makes you laugh, the dialogue is stilted and cringy, the acting is mediocre, and that is putting it charitably. The leads have no charisma to speak of, especially the man who is supposed to be an FBI agent. I am amazed that this got made at all, and I really cannot believe that people are willing to watch it, and not only that, they are apparently enjoying it. Well, to each their own, but if this is supposed to be the new standard, I am truly dismayed. We are surely capable of producing infinitely better television than this sub-par nonsense.

I dont understand the critics. This season was fantastic and the finale was awesome. Plenty of plot and character development, great action, lots of emotional moments. The show continues to be outstanding.
