But that's not a major issue. The major issue is that the last three episodes were given to the intern to write over night. It's awful story writing. Completely unfaithful to the characters we've been shown before. Irrational decision making, without telling us the reasoning. And everything else is completely predictable. It's like they realized this and irrational arbitrary choices were their attempt at subversion. Really disappointing. Reminds me of Westworld.… Full Review »

    Liked this season more than 2 and less than 1.

    This is what season 2 should have been, which suffered from muddled antagonists. All the Synths (robots) have finally obtained consciousness. Of course, this leads to resistance and persecution from the human population. I kind of appreciate how dark this goes. The show really delves into the conflict, and the little guys just trying to be decent above it all.

    The cast remains good. I particularly liked Laura's evolution having now become a lawyer representing Synth rights despite the backlash. Actress Katherine Parkinson (also from the IT Crowd) does a wonderfully determined performance. Plus, this season managed to elevate two of the less interesting characters. Laura's husband Joe, who was a bit of a goober last season, has a really emotional arch. And Max, who was always the positive/partially naive Synth, is now the leader of a faction of his kind and is forced to make the hard choices.

    The reason I don't like this as much as the first season is because I thought that it was better plotted. The first couple of seasons allowed the audience time to breathe and see the characters live their lives. Here everything is focused on the conflict and the creators seem more interested in looking at the extremes than the middle ground.

    Also, some of the characters aren't served that well. Niska has a rather drawn out subplot that isolates her from the rest of the cast. Joe and Laura's son Theo barely gets any screen time. It probably doesn't help that his entire plot last season was his relationship with a character played by a pre-Black Panther Letitia Wright, and I think we all know she doesn't need to be back in a minor TV role.    … Full Review »

It was easy to engage in this tale of struggle and adaptation. Characters are complex with fascinating story arcs acted very well by all of the actors. Some of the story arcs at the end of season three have left room to continue to a season four and I hope to see that… Full Review »
