Before I watched it, I felt like this show was just a dumping ground for characters who have been used previously in the other shows. Season 1 was good but it took things too seriously, too intense for my taste.
From season2, the show found it's feet, knew the kind of show it wanted to be and did an amazing job at it.
many of the original characters from season 1 are not there in season 5 except Caity Lotz as Sara Lance and Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory, and i love the fact that as this show is about time travel, any of the old members could return back to the show.
the casting is exceptional and i feel like, their relationship is great on-set and off-set, it's just the way they act that breathes life into the show.
The jokes and the costumes and the special effects are all hilarious and ngl i love gideon's appearances into the show along with her quips,
overall, this show is definetely worth watching and heavily entertaining.
