This turned out to be one of the better science fiction series of recent years.For me it got off to a bad start with some cheap looking FX and poor acting which made me give up after the first season. However I tried again when it came on Netflix and I was hooked. The acting, writing, direction and FX had greatly improved and one could now get involved with the characters and their plight. The big minus though is the insane camera work which got worse with each season. Season 5 uses hand held cameras for every scene which made it almost unwatchable as the camera jumped all over the place. Why is it that D.O.P's these days find it necessary to wobble the camera about while the characters are having a conversation. Hand held cameras are OK for dramatic action scenes but their over-use can make the viewer physically sick, destroy any involvement or interest in the story....The final episode wrap up was a bit rushed but overall this was a great show and I am sad that it has ended...
