Well this series needed a reboot after no one cared about characters or plot at the end in it's original series with a story seemingly going nowhere. This series at least focus again on a central threat and tries to put some of the thousands of numerous loose plot threads together. It was necessary to replace characters who had no direction and mostly pointless dialogue anyway and the series start intriguingly with a terrorist act done by none other than Mohinder Surresh who was pretty fucked up during the final seasons anyway going practical all over the place from good to bad guy and back to good. There is also a plot thread with Molly Walker addressed that seemed to be of importance and some of the old faces return. New heroes are introduced by the best new one is Japanese Computer Samurai Girl who is cute and at least do some action even if it is mostly in a computer world. But, how is it possible for these producers to always manage to kill off the most interesting characters and actors/actresses while the whiny, boring ones are left to carry the show and destroying every scene with their pointless directionless ways? There is also a annoying assassin couple with a character arcs that don't pay off, the man with a beard screaming about his sister is predictably a turncoat and there is a stupid Matt Parkman twist that makes no sense especially since he was the one taking care of Molly Parker in the beginning and even he was never THAT selfish and pigheaded. Terrible comic reliefs too which should have been killed off instantly. Producers knew they could end the series in a high note and instead they try to make this as a backdoor long-running pilot reboot that no one wanted. Potential squandered with this show and let it now stay dead. It is okay I guess if your hopes are your absolute lowest and see it as a better ending that season 4's ending. But this show should have been skipped until they have found a better show-runner and writer.
