I am in love with the show. When I first started to watch it and when Vincent and Cat first met I already could tell that there was a love story and I wanted them to get together early on in the first season because they go so well together. The show is amazing and I highly recommend it for anybody to wants to watch it.

I absolutely love this series... mrs. Sherri and Jennifer need to renew it, even if cw doesnt want to air it, partner and push through netflix.. we need at least a total of 10 season, cant leave us all wondering what's next from last episode, vincent jay ryan was at his most in this series, and cat, they have a undeniable REEL chemistry! Let vincent and cat become global bad guy getters, without vincent always being under fire from feds!! Need to have all the cast,
