I'm watching the last episode today. I don't remember this show when it aired, but watching it on Hulu makes me wonder why it was cancelled after the first season. Wouldn't 21 episodes the first season mean it was a hit?

i loved it - and i have seen a lot of media stuff for a loooooong time. the acting in this
was superb - loved the guy detective who was john's friend a lot. and the woman
grew on me very quickly. digger was a great supporting character
(and he was quite nice to look at, too.) well directed and edited, also.
it is a great show and the end was amazed me. i thought the shadow figure might
be a twin brother, so it was surprising. i'm so glad it came to some conclusion.
(the only character i didn't like much was the young woman artist; when they took
her off the series i was just sort of liking her, but no biggie that she was gone.
it left a bit of a whole, but they transitioned it deftly with the girl who was in trouble to
whom john gave the cat.)
i don't know what they would have done next, but i would have really enjoyed
seeing it. (i'm going to IMBD to find out what has happened to all the actors;
i hope they are all working.)

I think it got caught in one of those writer's strike, there was a year of the best new show on TV but the war and the strike wiped them out. I think this was among them.

I agree with Joseph Malatt. I don't understand why they took the show off before the season ended. A new season with him in nsa or something is more compaling then chuck.

While most episodes panned out like an episode of law and order, while I was watching this show I had maybe had in my head 3-4 stars, but the ending of the show totally changed my opinion here.While there's nothing wrong with a genius that runs around solving crimes law and order style (theres a reason why the show is so darn popular) it seemed a lot like filler, the plot in the story was dragged out, the season finale was in fact the best episode. A lot of ideas about this show are just bouncing through my head now, but it did end on a lot of interesting questions which were not answered, kind of sucks, remedied only slightly by the wiki. Could have been more original with this though, I saw this show going in 90 different directions, but once he started solving crimes it was a bit meh, I assumed that there were supposed time lapses between when there were the crimes that actually needed him and the ones that linked to himself (not just every case the detectives worked on would be needing a consult after all, I mean, they were said to be good at their job for a reason eh?), So I was willing to excuse literally every case having something to do with Doe or some unbelievably genius killer.Once things started coming together the showed really shined to me, the ending did not disappoint, to me at least. Whatever. Overall, 5 stars, excellent show, recommend to anyone who likes supernatural stuffs.P.S. The show really lost its Kyle XY element after the first few episodes, I liked Kyle XY, but it was more childish than this.
