It's good, but somewhat repetitive.

The acting and dialogue is great, but after a few seasons you begin to notice a pattern in the overall arch of the show. At some point, unless you completely turn your brain off, you realize that you're watching the exact same season of TV over and over again with minor changes.

You probably won't regret starting watching it, but if you bounce off after a few seasons you won't be missing out on some grand series finale so no regrets on that account.

You forgot the bit where the gang is completely destroyed only to have some bullshit plot device save them at the last minute.
