I've loved this show since its inception with interest, entertainment, anticipation and excitement never wavering.

[SPOILER ALERT ]

However, Axe - Damian Lewis departing from the show at the end of season 5 throws the show and premise out of wack. The show was centered on the struggle and clever rivalry of Check and Axe. Although I understand there is only so much can be done with this relationship and plot, I believe it has truly influenced the shows dynamics. If this was a decision the creators chose and then replaced the antagonist with just another it is going to become stale quickly. Ultimately, myself and others would rather the story be concluded than to carry on with a standin to just push more episodes. Which will kill the integrity of the show and drag it into mediocrity.

The characters are so real to what I see in the business and legal world, there are Bobby Axelrods all across the hedge fund and venture fund world, and there are Chuck Rhodes all across the legal world. Wendy is wonderful, wish I could meet a lady like her. Lara (Bobby's wife in show) is a mismatch, doesn't make sense, an egotistic supersmart like Bobby Axelrod would not have married a local nurse-type from the boros, he would have been a grifter and found a girl from a wealthy family whose father had a business empire. Lara is not a real character, she would have married a blue collar type that she could dominate.

Great show. I wish I could find a "criminal" like Axe to manage my money. All I've ever found is criminals who talk big and then charge exorbitant fees to lose my money. They're the ones who need jail.
