    Wellll.... it depends. You might want to give 6 through 8 a go to finish it off, see how it goes from your own perspective. I'm a completionist so I just kept going with it, but in hindsight season 4 was the peak. 6 through 8 were very mixed affairs quality wise - good stuff and bad stuff.

    The weakest was 2 by far, with 1 and 4 being the best.

    I thought the rest of the show did a decent job. Found it very enjoyable.

    I certainly wouldn't stop anywhere but the absolute last episode. Sure, some seasons were better than others, but the show as a whole is very solid entertainment. Probably one of the better shows of the past 10-20 years

    Well... Finished... And season 8 was a bit of a wet fish compared to what came before - And the finale? Not befitting the character and rest of the season IMHO
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Yeah, it was downhill for me during seasons 6 through 8. For me at least, the show ran out of ideas and became increasingly silly in its plotting and characterisation, and the ending was a bit duff. There were some interesting things about those last few episodes, but it all got a bit bungled. The show seemed to generally descend in quality from a cutting edge drama (on Showtime, no less) to something of the slapdash quality of made-by-committee network TV shows (yet still on Showtime).

    IMHO season 5 was the last solid season, with seasons 1 and particularly 4 being some of the very best TV drama I've ever watched.
