Love, love, love this series .. do NOT wanna see it end, but alas good things come to an end - the show centers around Cullen Bohannon & is interwoven with colourful charactors & compelling stories that run you through a gamut of emotions, it makes you feel happy, sad & at times you are so absorbed & on the edge of your seat, you can't wait for the next episode .. I've been hooked since the premier !! ALL the actors are amazing - Anson Mount is perfection as Bohannon - Common (the rapper) is great as Elam !
