This show was so good that we bought the entire five-season set for our collection and another as a gift for someone else.
Yes, it falls apart in the fifth season - but in the sense of a controlled and perfectly planned falling apart. Not in the sense of the writers, directors, or actors failing. It is a beautifully choreographed entirely logical descent into disaster.
Go! Finish watching. You may be stunned, outraged, and ready to scream, but I highly doubt you will be disappointed.
We just finished watching season five last night - I can hardly wait to watch it again!
