I’m not entirely sure the show really needed a long hiatus mid-season, but who am I to question the wisdom of USA’s programming department. Given that the back half of the season was so short, it seems like it might have been a good opportunity to actual set aside the “client of the week” storyline and just plow through a whole lot of backstory. I’m not complaining about the “client of the week” stories – they were all pretty solid and enjoyable – but it does sometimes get a little frustrating that we only get backstory-advancing episodes at the end of the season.

Also, I will say that casting John Mahoney as the shadowy figure behind the conspiracy is a pretty odd choice. He’s not exactly menacing. We’ll see how he does next season.
