More or less the as good as season 2 in terms of quality, but for very different reasons.
First of all, I like what they did with the story and most of the characters this season.
It pulls from things like The Matrix, Terminator and Minority Report in order to create something we haven’t quite seen before.
It’s more streamlined than last season, but it hasn’t been dumbed down in any way, as the show still messes with your mind.
I loved pretty much everything they did with Dolores, Maeve, Hale, Caleb and Serac.
Also, visually and musically, the show’s better than it ever has been before.
On the other hand, they really had no idea what to do with Bernard, Stubbs and William this season, so much so that their scenes got increasingly more dull as the season went on.
The post-credits scene in the final episode pretty much undoes the whole arc of one of these characters.
I also feel like the amount of forced plot mechanics has increased.
There is a lot more plotblocking than what is usually the case in this show, and sometimes characters conveniently show up at locations because the writers want it to happen, not because it would be logical.
Finally, they really have to up their game when it comes to the action scenes.
They used to be quite strong, but the hand to hand combat specifically tends to look like something out of a movie from the ‘70s.
7.5/10
