Season 3: Best season yet? (so far)


Just finished episode 4, the Hour and the Day, and for me, this is the best season yet. Since the season's not finished, I can't say that evaluation won't change, but it sure seems to be knocking the ball out of the park so far.

I just finished E 4 too...

While Season 4 is a huge improvement from the abomination that was season 2...Its still not nearly as good as season 1.

Season 1 is IMO one of the greatest TV seasons of all time.

But If were going by the majority consensus, Season 3 isnt on Season 1s level...

Season 1 is one of the highest ranked and rated seasons ever.

I think the consensus overall is...

Most have season 1 rated 9s and 10s....

so far the consensus for Season 3 seems to be 7s and 8s...

this 4th episode really got good though and Left off with a Great cliff hanger...

I thought season 1 was good, but fell apart in the last couple episodes. Season 2, by contrast, got better towards the end. And, of course, we haven't seen all of season 3 yet.

Totally agree...with your opinion on this season as well as season one👍

good to hear.

I'm one of the few who think S1 is overrated.

So it might be. We'll see.

This season three is blowing me away. While not as good as season one (what is?), I am really really enjoying this

I was just watching an explanation of S3 E5, and they mentioned "Hyot" (spelling?) and "the Hyots". Who are these people in this series??? I can't remember seeing any of them, and I can't find them in the credits.

Hoyt Foods is the mother's former employer.

Oh okay, I think I remember that now, thanks! But is there also a character named Hoyt?

episode 5 was great.

reply

It won't top Season 2 for me. I never understood the bashing it got from some people. Everyone I know loved it. It's even better on second viewing, whereas Season 1 isn't.

reply

Season 2 sucks ass

reply

It doesn’t even come close to season 1. Marty and Rust are way more interesting than Hays. Hays is a pretty boring character overall. While Marty and Rust are fantastic together.

reply

Lot's of folks bash season 2, which I found to be pretty damn solid. But, its like getting an 85 on a test after getting a 98 on the first one. As for season 3, I'd give it a 95. I think season 1 still has to be considered the best, but only by a very narrow margin.
