Sometimes the crazy things that happen to the agents border on totally fantastical, but I still love the hell out of it. I binge watched the first 2 seasons when a coworker turned me on to the show.

Even Spader is starting to wear on me ... loved his performance at first but even that is getting too 'samey' for me ... and the rest of the actors (except some of the guests) are almost uniformly awful. And the stories are, for the most part, preposterous. Single agents (who aren't even field agents) like the female lead going to obviously wildly dangerous situations all by themselves and getting into trouble (it's much like Castle in this regard ... which I still love) over and over ... that's the surface stuff of what's wrong with it.

With a better cast and writers it could be way better.

Spader is much better then Boone. I do like the flirting between the computer guy and the Israeli agent though.
