In case you just came to thread crap (which it most likely seems you are, this thread was started almost A YEAR AND A HALF AGO when the show was starting its final season. The original poster was attempting to rally new viewers before FOX finally axed the show. If you had read the original post instead of jumping to the end (where in fact you didn't respond to the question at hand but simply thread crapped), you'd have realize that the thread title was meant to be rhetorical.

Having just rewatched Season 1 of AD I have to say.. Season 2 and 3 were vastly superior.

That said, I miss this show .

You've heard that New Zealand is the most overrated TV series in history?

Season 2 was the best IMO. Season 3 being the obvious weak link. The show would have been a perfect 2 season epic wrapped up then and there.

I actually really enjoyed most of S3, save for a few spotty parts here and there.

S1 wasn't bad, but just wasn't as consistent as 2 and 3 for me.

To me, season 3 was just a bad rippoff of the first two. The characters (especially GOB) seemed like caricatures of themselves from the first couple seasons.

Season three was incredible (especially the mole episode), and overall much better than New Zealand.

BTW, some CBC stations are airing this now in HD as well. They just started with the first episode on Tuesday.

Maybe he'd heard that New Zealand was stupidly idiotic with cartoonish characters that make absolutely no sense, and just terribly, terribly unfunny. That was also in what he quoted. (Personally I find NZ filled with cartoonish characters that make absolutely no sense but they can be very funny and aren't idiotic).
