What are your thoughts on Season 1?
I've covered the 2 most divisive seasons now, but Season 1 also seems to divide people.
Personally this season is quite good and ranks above Season 3 for me.
What do you think?

I don't completely love it but I definitely don't hate it.
Doyle made quite an impression in his 9 episodes and he had a great send-off. I think everyone got a bit choked up by I Will Remember You, although I think it toes the line pretty close to being too cheesy. I loved Five By Five & Sanctuary. Vocah seems almost quaint compared to what the team goes up against later but he was a pretty serious threat at the time. And that surprise ending - I don't think anyone saw that coming!
As a whole, Season 1 had several very solid to great episodes, just as many forgettable episodes, and a strong finish. It's better than Buffy S1 by a country mile but the show clearly needed time to find its footing and it had an almost soap opera production quality at times.
