Season 6

Another good season. I figured Mike wouldn't be in prison for too long but what we did get of him in there was a pretty nice change of pace from what we're used to out of the show. I like that he was able to maintain who he is through and through and this season made me like him more as a character and certainly respect him a ton. The second half of the season was good as well, but couldn't top the second half of season 5. The suspense and drama of Mike trying to get back into the bar just inherently couldn't compare with the suspense and drama of him trying to stay out of prison last season, but it was still pretty good. I also got this cool sense of optimism, hope, and safety with the second half of this season as Mike no longer has to look over his shoulder to protect his secret. It felt like an incredible fresh start and opportunity for him as well as for the show. His character may be a little one note, but he is consistent with wanting to help people and after prison he has a real motivation to do that above anything else. Jessica also gets great development this season and a wonderful arc. Ending the season off on an optimistic and exciting note makes me excited. The main story element and driving force of the show may be practically gone now, but perhaps we will now get more of a straight forward legal drama and since I'm invested in these characters, I could be down for that.

7.6/10 -- Great
