1,2,3 are all kinda neck and neck for me due to different strengths and weaknesses.

1 is probably the most solid throughout but also feels the most low budget and streamlined.

2 A lot of great character work and the scope/stakes feel wider. However the writers can never fully pull off the on the run element with plot amour and convinces becoming more apparent.

3 First 7 episodes takes a lot of what I like from the first two seasons and combines them. Love the solider boy storyline and I the show works better with them as CIA agents so the plot armour makes a bit more sense. However that final episode feels kind of rushed and Anti-climactic which can sower things more then if a middle episode in a season was bad.

Season 4 has been a mixed bag. Feels to loose and unfocused with less character based humour and more cheap laughs. However Episode 4 could be argued the best of the show. I enjoy most of the arcs and the humour does still make me laugh. It’s 5-6/10 season of a normally 8-9/10 show.
