I now get the hype of this series. Awhile back I started season one and didn't get it the first time (IDK why). But I now understand the praise it receives.

With that being said, Paige Jennings pisses me off with her constant questions every episode. I know that may sound rough. But in some episodes it's nearly unbearable.

i watched the first season then stopped. it was way too slow for me. And it was really hard for me to picture Kevin Walker as a spy.

Paige definitely has moments where she flirts with "Dana Brody/Skyler White" territory of annoying characters, though not quite as bad.

The action, story lines, acting, and chemistry between Russell and Rhys more than make up for Paige.

Same here, I thought it was too slow and they were just dragging shite out unnecessarily. Did not see how they could get through a full 2nd season, let alone already be onto Season 4 & 5.

See, I was the opposite. I really liked it at first. Then the story line just got wayyyy out there after maybe the middle of the second season (not sure exactly when).

It's watchable until they just start having them do insane things. Once I can say "that would never happen" to 90% of the show, it made it not nearly as exciting to watch.

I realize it was a bit exaggerated to begin with, but there was just too much at some point and I fell off the band wagon.

I agree w/ you 100%. Started out as a great spy story and then ran off the rails. The fact that 80lbs Kerry Russel is constantly kicking the crap out of 200 LEO's was a bit much too. They obviously never had a end game in sight and just kept getting more and more preposterous. I also thought the Russia secretary double agent was super hot and should have been kept:
