I think comics are a victim of their own medium at times. The stories are very often wrapped up in a satisfying manner, or at least they could be. But then we have to have a big fight at the end. Why? Because it's the end and there has to be a big fight.
The final few episodes do go off the rails a bit, but overall, it's a really solid first effort. The tone and look of the show is great. This is actually a show that might be better watched in smaller doses, because the action beats and flashbacks can get a bit repetitive.
Fifteen years ago, this would've been the most popular show on television. At the very least, it would've been the most popular show on the WB.
