First of all, this show didn't end. It was cancelled. There is a difference. By that I mean you don't get definitive closure at the end of season two. If that's a problem for you than don't start watching this. Sure, you could fill in the blanks at the end and let your imagination run with it. But that would mean everyone had it's own outcome depending on your preferences.

Now, for the show itself. I actually really liked the first season. It was an interesting idea. There was a mystery and a background story surrounding all of that. Ron Pearlman and Garret Dillahunt were great. [spoiler] Yes, there is the question of morality about killing people, you think are bad, and justifying it by saying: "God told me so". What I liked was that they showed, at least in glimpses, that religion is a trickery slope to walk and there are many people trying to use it for their gain. Like I said, all things considered, it was quite entertaining. [/spoiler]

Then came the second season and I discovered I had several problems. [spoiler] The most blatant one being: why do I want to root for anyone on this show? They are a bunch of murderes that deserve to go to jail. They were painted as people that are more victim than perpetrator and so in may ways I had no sympathy with them. Judge Harris is a really, reeaalllyyy, unlikable fellow. Crystal became obsessed with setting things right and KD, althought maybe good at heart with his intensions, is nonetheless a serial killer. And don't even get me started about the so-called priest. Why do I want to have sympathy with those people? Do I want the bad guys to pay? Sure, but who are the bad guys? Is it really all right to take matters into your own hand just because you have suffered an injustice? [/spoiler]

Furthermore I think the plot lost it's identity about what it want's to be. [spoiler] Is a about Religion, about believing, about what is wrong or right? Or is it a conspiracy thriller about the big bad, evil corporate entity that wants to suck us dry of our data and turn is into transparent and predictable sheep. And we have a Mesiah in the person of PJ, who looks at times very much Jesus like, that want to free us from those shackles. [/spoiler]

[spoiler] Both could have made a compelling story and maybe, moving forward, there would have been a great ending. But it didn't happen. [/spoiler] It never gained the traction with audiences to stay on air.

I rate this as a "7" overall with notes of "8" and "6" for the respectable seasons. I don't think it was a waste of time but I imagine a third season would have continued the downward trend and I would ultimately have dropped it.
