Well, Chuck is a cult favorite. I've watched the first 3 and a half seasons of Chuck 3 times. 😀Chuck, in my opinion:S01: DecentS02: GreatS03E01-E11: Not so goodS03E12-E19: GoodS04E01-E13: GoodS04E14-E24: Not goodS05E01-E05: BadS05E06-E13: DecentEven in the bad arcs, there were a couple of good episodes here and there. Chuck could have been better if only NBC had treated it better. The first season had only 13 episodes because of the WGA strike in 2008. In my opinion, S02 of Chuck is one of the best seasons among any show. It ended in a terrific cliffhanger. But, NBC was not going to renew the show. Subway was a sponsor of the show. Fans and critics appealed to NBC to renew the show on various platforms. The fans even went to Subway joints to watch the show. NBC bowed to fan pressure and renewed Chuck for a 13-episode S03. Again, the creators without knowing the future of the show, created an arc for the first 13 episodes. Then, NBC gave the back-6 order. This also happened in S04 when NBC first ordered 13 episodes and then ordered a back 11. As a result, the creators did not have a clear goal.The final season had 13 episodes and ended in Jan.
