Some people say that it is fun, witty, and action-packed, while others say that it is repetitive, unrealistic, and boring. What do you think? Do you recommend it or not?

First few seasons were pretty good. Bruce Campbell is always fun. It's not a great show, and it's not built for binging (see: repetitive) and the premise of wading through the murky gray waters of ethical espionage gets pretty old pretty quick. He's supposed to be shady and dangerous, but the show needs a protagonist, so he basically becomes Plot Armor Man, able to dodge bullets and ethical quandries with equal aplomb.
