Same. If I had to grade the seasons it would be something like S1- B+, S2- D, S3- B-.
Midway through S4 and it may be my favorite season. So far I'd give it a solid A- but there's no way you can watch S4 without seeing S3 first.
S2 was so terrible I only finished it for the same reasons. S3 got kind of ridiculous from a plot continuity perspective in the middle and ends on a pretty huge cliff hanger which is a pet peeve of mine.
All that being said I'd still recommend it to someone who likes crime dramas and lacks anything better to watch.

its a bad soap opera with a ton of super dumb violence to try and shock you into continuing to watch.
also the acting is atrocious.
I've always felt like SoA was made with female audiences in mind. Like they wanted to make a romantic drama with a biker gang element added after the fact to draw in male viewers. It's got it all, a handsome broken man dealing with endless family drama resulting from his own poor choices and luck. I've watched a few eps here and there but it seems to just be the same thing over and over again... Bike gang does crime -> family effected negatively -> resolution and make up sex while foreshadowing the next crime that will negatively effect family.
+1 to Battered Bastards of Baseball. I hate baseball but it's a great doc, I also was struck by the soundtrack which I felt was quite good.
Anyone can give a short review of 'Southcliffe', seemed to get mixed reviews but came up on my recommendations.
