The show had its peak in the finale of S3. It started strong and as the show progressed only improved up to the ending of season 3. Sadly, after that it declined and S6 was barely interesting anymore. The magic of the early season was gone.
Its interesting to think about why, but hard to find an answer. While the show switched from SyFy to Amazon Prime, the team stayed basically the same. Only the budget increased. So the only conclusion would be weaker source material, to which the show stuck mostly. And it shows. While the first seasons were a multilayered show about a great mystery, the later seasons turned predictable and straightforward with less and less compelling storytelling and no mystery left at all.
You won't regret watching S1-4, but 5 and 6 are skippable.
