My point is the show really should've ended a long time ago. And it ceased being good pretty much after they killed off Wo Fat.The Magnum reboot wasn't ready yet. And MacGyver's reboot solidified their Friday block
The first two seasons of the show IMHO were greatness. It was like getting solid action adventure movies on TV. The subplots were compelling. Wo Fat was an actual threat.
Then around Season 3 onward, it started just resorting to lots of filler, lifting stock and repetitive TV plots that have been done dozens of times over by other procedurals. Wo Fat was the show's central villain. After he was gone, the show lost most of its steam.
I also still can't over how Wo Fat got apprehended in a ****ing talk show episode with Aisha Tyler playing a ****ing Wendy Williams knockoff. Wo Fat not only getting captured but getting half of his body freaking melted and turned into Two-Face. Something that basically gets lampshaded a short time later.
I think they also could've done more with Chin losing his wife. He executed his wife's killer. Let's be honest, he totally executed that dude. He murdered that Baldwin brother. That was basically illegal. That got lampshaded too. It never felt like they truly dealt with Chin's grief that could've been a dark and gripping ongoing subplot.
