Unfortunately, season 3 saw a significant decline in the quality of the series. I agree with those who think it has soap opera elements, and the science behind it has fallen well below my expectations. There were virtually no likeable characters left for season 3, and the two Stevens kids brought a very bad atmosphere to the show. It was a huge disappointment every time one of them appeared on screen, I couldn't wait for them to disappear. I usually had to fast forward through the scenes they were in. The events of the last episode - e.g. The ejection and re-ejection of the pregnant mother from the top of the launch vehicle, combined with the lack of visuals of her docking, brought a sense of unpretentious surrealism. In addition, there was a great deal of unscientific nonsense on display, none of which approaches even a minimal level of reality. When the line (about) engineers are engineers then let's engineer, I had to laugh out loud, even though it was not intended as a joke by a narcissistic psychopathic character with Elon Musk-like personality traits. It's all sad. Season 2 was the climax, what happened in season 3 made it impossible for me to continue watching the series. The excellent critical reception of season 3 is very surprising to me, as there were so many events that made the whole plot seem frivolous.
