I agree with you Peter. I think the series is smarter, better and more fun than people give it credit for. And I also agree that quality wise I'd actually say it's better than a lot of the franchises that we view through rose tinted specs because we grew up with them. Yet Saw does seem to have this stigma attached to it.
There is a lot of suspension of disbelief needed, especially after part three (or 4 if you know what I mean), and if you can't do that then yes, the series isn't for you, but if you can then I think they're a good time myself.
I do think they should stick to ending it with Saw 3D. While the ending was predictable it was also fitting. Plus it means I can get a nice complete blu ray box set without worrying about another one coming out!
