Had I not watched the last half of the 3rd season, I would have rated it 5 stars. I've never watched a series with such DEEPLY flawed characters in my life. I've never felt more sadness for a character than I did for John Rayburn. Poor John Spent his life taking care of everyone and solving everyone's problems and his thanks is to be blamed for everything that goes wrong due to other people's bad decisions. LOVED this show until the last half of the final season. In my opinion, the writers went into a tailspin and just put everything and the kitchen sink in there and I hated those episodes. It's as if they took every alternate ending that they thought of and just threw it all in there. Next to Dexter, it's the worst ending ever.
