I actually rewatched it a few times over the years, and noticed how the various seeds of the metaplot are strewn over the seasons. There were always new facets added that put things into more context.One of the small things I really liked is how we only meet Harold's friend and partner, Nathan Ingram ever only appears in flashbacks, but we still get to appreciate him as a person. And they never [ISPOILER]cheat and suddenly reveal he isn't dead and actually the big villain or whatever.[/ISPOILER]The shortened final season was unfortunate, though. Or CBS insistence on maintaining a case-of-the-week style despite the show really having gone beyond that a few seasons ago already. I think we could have seen more of "Finch Unhinged" then, with more depth and detail than we got. But I must say Johnathan Nolan, Lisa Joy and whoever else contributed to the writing really managed well within the constraints they were working under (in all seasons). Also they managed really well to avoid humanizing the Machine too much, while still making us like her.</blockquote>
