long live team machine. Absolutely brilliant. Gripping. Action packed. A paranoia inducing marvel of a series that transformed from a weekly detective drama to a great serialized sci-fi drama of epic proportions. Saying goodbye to the show has been difficult but the shows legacy will always remain intact when returning to previous episodes. Scene stealers are MIchael Emerson's Harold Finch and Amy Acker's 'Root'
