Never seen the show.
Should I go back and watch the previous seasons?
Is the show worth it?

Maybe the best drama on TV right now. Get caught up on the previous seasons before S3 starts.

Top-notch acting, writing and they're ridiculously detailed with the time period.

..."You won't know what's going on unless you watch all the previous eps" kind of show?
How many seasons am I behind?

I don't know any drama on TV outside of the CSI/L&O procedurals, that would make sense if you didn't start at the beginning.
691397, It's a serial drama. It's not a "criminal of the week" show.

Don't waster your time on NBC's rip off.
691219, I don't remember the last time I watched a network drama
Posted by Wordman, Tue Jan-13-15 11:03 PM
I honestly don't.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was before 2000.

691395, It's a very good and you should watch it

However, I think the big fans of the show overhype it quite a bit. Temper your expectations and you'll find a lot to like.
