I'll endorse what's said above about S2 being strong and S3 being weak. I'd add, though, that S4 doesn't always grab everyone. The plotting is weak, but the cast of characters is pretty strong--meaning that if the character dynamic doesn't happen to click for you (as it didn't for me personally) the season is disappointing. The trouble with the plot in S4 is that there have been so many twists and new elements added over the course of the series to what is essentially the same set of mysteries and character alignments. The farther along you go, the more confusing, contraditory, and unsuprising everything gets as the Mystery's Answer isn't the whole Answer after all, and someone double-triple-quadruple-agents for the same people.
That said, I watched consistenly enough until the beginning of S5 when I stopped from boredom, so the DVD set might be worth it.
