Cancelled.

Too bad. But the show clearly suffered at the hands of the american writers.
The two first seasons felt real and deep to me. But the third was too straight-forward in it's understanding of the human mind.
-Frances and Jessie in particular was too clear-cut and obvious from day one. Both were staple characters from thousands of movies and tv-shows. Not authentic.
-Sunil was interesting but forced. Stagey.As if to forge a mystery for the viewer.
-Pauls new therapist reduced his relationship with his prior therapist, too much. Summing Paul Weston up in 5 minutes and presenting it with a nice bow on top.
-And weston himself suddenly only a depressed, disillusioned emotionally impotent man.
All the juicy fleshed out characters you could identify with, emphatize and invest complex feelings in and look forward to learn from,- were gone.
The first two seasons made people, the human mind, interesting. It was a level of writing and acting that recalled Bergman.
The third was tv-show version of pop-psychology.

I think Season 3 was simply the best thing I've ever seen on TV, because it was the most lifelike literary artwork ever on TV … at least that I have seen.

I don't think the average person can see this, just like Paul cannot see himself and his little fits when he is in Adele's office.

People are raised to be simple minded, so the reality of the world is too difficult for them to accept, especially when everyone is on a different page with different powers - what is what makes life terrifying. Some are lucky enough to have the support and security they need to grow, but most are not, and many of those that do grow use their insights to manipulate other people.

The scene with Jesse where he knocks on Paul's door late at night versus Paul's attempted manipulations of Adele in his next session and how childish he becomes when she will not be manipulated by him.

Paul is not a bad guy, I think we're meant to understand that we are all like this, we are all selfish hypocrites that by nature cannot see the objective truth of what is going on in our lives.

If season 3 is a huge drop off it must be shockingly bad. Season 2 is currently airing in the UK on Sky Atlantic and I think there is a major drop in quality from season 1. I have to say the Paul Weston character is a bitter and deeply irritating man who I struggle to have any empathy for. I wouldn't say I have hated Gabriel Byrne's acting in the past, though horribly miscast in Little Women, but I cannot tolerate him in this. I have decided to give up on this show particularly as it is said to be cancelled.

I haven't seen all of Season 3, but what I have isn't up to par with the other two . . .

Given that there's a consensus here above the dip in quality over pretty much that entire season, it's no wonder that viewership (and revenues) dropped off. More of the same would probably have occurred had they gone ahead, leading to a more high-profile cancellation mid-season.

Best to end it before it starts recycling plot ideas. Bravo for what it accomplished.
