S3 took an entirely different approach. S1 was more about grabbing our attention, full of laughter and cute moments, S2 was more mature and explored the emotional aspect of the show more and S3 was really about character development were we see the characters mellow. The last couple episodes, this inclusive, really lay the foundation for S4 as well.
Now the next bit is just an extra bit, stuff I wanted to get off my chest. An extra long bit.
Of course I'm all for Otis and ruby end game now, despite spending the previous two seasons hoping it was gonna be Maeve. It's been on and off, keeping us guessing throughout whether they were gonna end up together or not and it got annoying, but after seeing how quickly she forgave Isaac I figured that's it, isn't it. The only glimpse we had of Otis and Maeve as we remember was when they got stranded together. I think the writers deliberately distanced her and Otis throughout the season to prepare us for her departure(either from the show completely or just the country). Thinking about the show in it's entirety, we'd probably still support Otis and Maeve, but thinking of it as things stood in S3,even without the whole America aspect they just don't seem like working out.
Otis and ruby on the other hand, despite being arguably the most antithetic characters in the show had some really beautiful chemistry which is why it hurt so much to see ruby hurt like that. They didn't last long but it was one of the seasons highlights.
It's irksome to think of about how the main characters are the villains this season, Otis hurt ruby(unintentional), same with Eric and Adam. I understand they had to break up because they were at different stages in their life, but he didn't have to kiss another dude, did he. Adam had the best character development in the show and he deserved so much better at the end of the season.
Lol Rahim as well, after spending so much time reading adam's unimpressive poetry dedicated to Rahim's ex, he deserved so much more that poop storyline. It's hilarious and so unnecessary.
One other thing that deserves mention is how much Maeve and Aimee's friendship has grown this season. They're miles apart in terms of personality yet they're still one of the best pairings in the show. I love aimee's script, she says the most out of pocket things and Maeve listens, there's no judgement between them.
I loved Eric's maturity, his self realization and how he handled the situation with Lily when he went to see her. It showed us that the old Otis was still there who wanted to help people. I loved how he gave this perfect little heart to heart speech outside her door and first thing she did when she opened it was ask why he was sitting on her floor.
I'm sad to see lily let her weirdness go because I relate to her so much despite being a dude. Not in the "alieny" or sexual stuff but I did have to let go of a lot of weird stuff I'm into towards the end of high school and beginning of college. I used love gothic art and I was the only one, so people thought it was either weird or satanic, eventually I just stopped and now that I started drawing again I find that I've lost a lot of my creativity/imagination along with my drawing skills. So I'm hoping lily finds herself again next season and people who're more accepting. Getting back with Ola as well, but more as a friend and not dating.
I feel like this reviews getting too long so I'll be keep it short with the last few things. I loved how Jean and Jakob's relationship has progressed, I'm glad the writers didn't just swiftly throw Ola into Jean's pregnancy and make her okay with a new family and baby half-sibling while still mourning her mum. Big twist coming with that paternity test though. Micheal Groffs character is also really depressing but he's taken such huge leaps in self realization and trying to better himself and hopefully he can manage to mend his relationship with his son. Sort his life out. I like how much of Hope haddon they revealed to us, and how she sorta confided in Otis(again speaking to his maturity). Cal and Jackson, not everything ended well but I think it ended well, showed that both characters were mature enough to deal with them not working out, and in the sidelines also helped Jackson open up a bit more to his mother, which was amazing to see after the past seasons' tensions.
That's it folks, thanks if you read thus far lol.
