Gaming N @RT91327692 01/21/2025 this season is mental.. ist See more Bruno V @RT13830604 07/21/2023 Série de alto valor significativo para o gênero. Personagens inesquecíveis, sem contar com a sua alta performance em esconder e contextualizar episódio por episódio. Ou seja, quem escreveu essa série é um gênio. See more Klber A @RT03133886 02/06/2023 Série perfeita, recomendo muito ela!!! See more 01/16/2020 esta temporada no dio ni pizca de gracia para seguirla, ademas de que se cree al resolver los casos con gracia, si fuera en la vida real, ya lo hubiera corrido, menos mal que es ficción, por otro lado, los actores llevaron a sus personajes lejos, tratan de alivianar el ambiente, pero mas bien lo empeora. See more 11/27/2015 I haven't seen the beginning or ending of this series. Started watching somewhere in the middle, and liked it well enough. Waiting for the series to go onto Netfllix. While waiting, I tried out Simon Baker's previous TV series, The Guardian, until Netflix removed it from streaming when I was halfway through Season II. Thanks, Netflix. For some reason, this site doesn't have The Guardian listed for review, but it was very good. See more 01/10/2014 Strawberries and Cream Parts 1 & 2 gave us a much better Red John than S6E8 did. Pretty bad when the fake RJ from Season 3 kicks the "real" RJ's a$$ from Season 6. If the show ends with Ray Haffner being the REAL Red John, you'll hear my elated screams coming through your speakers. See more Read all reviews
