Everyone says it starts slow but I found the beginning fit especially with the development of the characters over the seasons. I started watching this show 3 weeks ago and I'm already on the last season. Even when you don't think the season or whatever is happening at the moment is going to mean something in the future. Surprise! Everything ends up meaning something eventually so pay attention. The last season so far seems a little dull...i'm only on episode 4 so lets see if it takes a turn. I definitely recommend this show to all my family and friends!
