Im writing this as Season 3 concludes and I honestly don't know what happened to this show. First 2 seasons were some of the best TV I'd seen in 20 years. Dramatic, funny, gritty and at times absurd but the third season has leaned hard into the absurdity of say the Teddy Perkins episode from episode 6 of season 2 and it now plays like some sort of Twilight Zone type show that alternates between the main characters plot line and odd standalone episodes that have nothing to do with the adventures of Earn, Paperboi and Darius. It doesn't work. Don't get me wrong the random episodes at times are great but they don't belong in this series and I think Glover et al should have created a separate show to showcase the political and racial satire that they have done so well. Instead we get a horribly disjointed season that's taken me the best part of a year to watch because it's simply not engaging any more. I really hope season 4 gets back on track as I don't think I'll make it thru another season like this and will just give up watching what was once my favourite show to binge and to tell others about.
