The first time I watched this show I felt like season 2 took the quality down and season 3 came and saved it, so when I came back to rewatch it, I was actually surprised, because season 2 is now in my mind much better than season 3.
The overall plot generally feels like retreading steps and prolonging drama instead of resolving it and creating new drama. In the first two seasons it felt like the characters learned lessons every episode. In season 3 it felt more like they had to go through the same lessons multiple times.
The reason I remember season 3 being so good, is because it delivers on the quality of episodes in an isolated sense. Some of the shows best episodes are in this season. The side-stories, episodes focusing on specific characters and creative ideas are extremely fun to watch and a treat to come back to. Watching the show the first time around, it was actually annoying for the main plot to get thrown aside for a side-story, but knowing the full story, so not being distracted by the main plot while watching, makes those special episodes a lot sweeter.
