*SPOILER ALERT*
This show is an amazing mixture of crime, mystery, comedy and drama. The concept of Red John was brilliant and it gets the viewer hooked to the show wanting to know how in the hell did he do that? Or how does he know things before Patrick Jane does.
At one point, it felt as though Red John could have been an organization or something, looking at the way he operated and had knowledge of everything. Everything about this show was amazing except one thing... The Reveal.
When Red John was revealed, i doubt i've ever felt as much disappointment about anything else. The way he is dealt with by Patrick; the fact that they didn't tell us how red john operated and how he knew about Patrick's Red John List of Suspects, made me go "omg that was so pathetic. It was much better when we didn't know who Red John was".
If the writers could have done a better ending for Red John, it would have been a literal mind blowing series. But it felt as though they were trying, but couldn't come up with a better Reveal.
But overall would definitely, without a doubt, recommend this show to others.

This is a weird show tbh.
When i watched the pilot, i was like, okay... what's going on? It's so slow yet, fascinating. I ended up watching all the episodes, but there was so much missing in the final 2 episodes, it ruined the whole thing. I mean, all the hacking and planning to ruin evilcorp was well and good... but how they fit mr robot in and how everyone else behaved around elliot was confusing if nothing else.
It's so slow paced at times you get bored... but i wouldn't call it a bad show. It's good as long as you can tolerate the boring parts.
bring out 3 episodes every 2-3 years why don't you -.-
3 episodes per season sucks... but each episode has that awesomeness to it which keeps you hooked and makes you forget that you're mad at the show for coming after years of waiting.
brilliant show. benedict cumberbatch is an amazing sherlock and every element in this show is pure brilliance.
