It's got the Red John storyline still in the background, but it basically only directly affects the show for 4 or 5 episodes per season, the rest are 'monster (murder) of the week' episodes. It's also why i dislike shows like Arrow, which is basically a soap opera.

Season 1 of Fringe is the same and it slowly turned into a completely different show, which was still good and entertaining but the first season and a half of Fringe are outstanding.
