I started watching just recently. I on season 4. I must say I have a love hate relationship with this show. Ray is the best!! I always enjoyed James Spader he is such a fine actor. The problem is with Liz! I can't stand her. Everytime this woman opens her mouth it's with a bad idea. Everytime she has a plan it backfires and gets people killed. Does she have any remorse? No way. She just wants to know why everybody's not listening to her.
I spent time in the military in the early 70's as an operator. I have children that serve our country in Washington D.C. My wife works for a U.S. Congressman. I say this only to tell you that the roll of Liz is so unrealistic. A female presenting her skill set would have never made it through F.B.I. training.
Don't get me wrong I think she is a very good actor. I just think when they wrote her parts they did not think it out seriously. Perhaps they assume that we would never know the difference. How could they forget she is up with James Spader who makes his Character "Ray" seem so believable. Like I said, a love hate relationship with this show!!
