Nailed it, these are my feelings as well. The show was often good, but only sometimes great. There was enough quality in the characters to keep coming back to it but there was a lot of missed potential. The finale was kind of the same way..not bad, but not amazing. Its not going to leave a lasting impression on me. Overall a good show with some outstanding acting at times, but certainly doesn't rank with the best HBO has had to offer IMO.
