A bit better than season 6, but nothing special. I have the feeling the show has long since run out of good ideas so they are faithfully re-chewing the old stuff that worked in the past. On top of this, and in light with the new politically correct "Obama Era" the show has adapted itself and is now musing about the moral implications of torture, violence, by which means good should fight evil notwithstanding the odds, etc. The main positive aspect of this season is that it was slightly more realistic than the last, which made it much more watchable. This does not go to say that the episodes where still not loaded with many ridiculous situations, obscene characters and sometimes tacky, occasionally even stupid dialog.

Nevertheless, this remains a somewhat entertaining show, a sort of guilty pleasure, so I suggest we switch off our brains, get the beer and the popcorn and enjoy the ride!
