Ratings
Reviews
Kristof Stevenson of Superior Realities gave a positive review of the first episode, giving it a score of 8.1 out of 10. He commented that the shorter season allows the episode to never dull and called Emily's fight scene "one of the best fight sequences [he'd] ever seen."[14] On TV.com, MaryAnn Sleasman wrote that the series finale was "phenomenal" and "bittersweet in the best possible way."[15]
Merill Barr of Forbes said, "The action is solid, and watching Rachel Nichols run around in her futuristic super suit is just as entertaining as its always been."[16]
