WORTH-IT

BollyMeter7.0/1073% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics felt the show had run out of fresh mythology moves and the Rambaldi arc was generating more confusion than suspense. Garner's performance remained the show's anchor.

What BollyAI Thinks

Season 4 moved to Wednesday nights and attempted a partial format reset, introducing more standalone missions alongside the serialized mythology. The 73% Rotten Tomatoes score reflects a cautious reception: Garner's performance remained the show's load-bearing element even as the mythology rabbit-hole grew harder to navigate. The move away from Sunday night reduced the show's event-television profile. Audience numbers declined, prompting ABC to shorten the order for the fifth and final season.

Format adjustment and timeslot change signal a show in managed decline - Garner's charisma is the remaining constant.
