I did like the show overall but I wished it had continued to be more like series 1 or 2 because as the seasons go on, it gets more complicated. When it first started it had a very x-files feel to it. Agents investigating the paranormal (is an obvious connection I guess) but once they start going into multiple universes, 2 of everyone etc. They drag it on for far too long and at times I quite honestly did not know what was even going on.
It's a shame because even the one off episodes are always force tied into the bigger storyline when they didn't have to be. They should have taken out the whole parallel universe arc and just continued to have them investigate one of events, a different character / story each episode. Then they could have added a simple overall story that runs along with each series and it would have been far better.
I gave it a seven because it starts exceptionally well and there are some fantastic episodes peppered into each season. The very last season is hard to get through because the story takes a sharp (unnecessary turn) and I just don't care for that part of the story line. I think this is an example of a show that was trying to be too clever when a more simple approach would have seen this run for much longer.
