I would never recommend this as an example of great series. Instead, its an example of what could have been a great series. The inconsistencies and digressions of this patched together series must be acknowledged, yet it is somehow still compelling and worth watching. Some say the second season was best, but I found it somewhat snide and pointless. The third season was my favorite; it got back on point and the focus on characters Frank and his daughter made for some very nice moments.
