I've been watching The Guardian lately. got into it during season 1, it aired from Mon to Fri on AXN here and I stumbled upon it constantly. mostly I would eat a late breakfast with it being on and would even walk out of the room occasionally, but by the end of S1 I was totally immersed in it. then seas2 came and it became more character driven, which I wasn't necessarily sure I liked with this kind of show. but with seas3 they found their voice with balanced storylines; intriguing case-of-the-ep stories and engrossing character bits. the show is so intense, I sometimes think that it is no surprise it got canceled after this 3rd seas - I believe it was too intense for an occasional viewer and unfortunately we all know it's all about the numbers... with the 1st seas I think it was more mainstream, by the 3rd seas, while the show grew constantly better, it might have been difficult to watch for someone not invested in the characters, it's just so intense, it's almost unbearable. tonight was the ep where Lulu learns she's pregnant and the emotional turmoil that follows. my heart was pounding when Nick got home with his mom's ring; I was sure sth bad would happen and however trivial my description of this ep must sound, believe me it was gut-wrenching. I *sigh* with relief when the end-credits roll. it's been like that for me for the last 3 eps or so.
