Resuming its harrowing plotline and adding even more suspense to the mix, if that's even possible, season 3 of "Servant" ushered in a world of chills and drama that somehow felt better than what came in the preceding two seasons.
Directors M. Night Shyamalan, Ishana Night Shyamalan, Carlo Mirabella-Davis, Dylan Holmes Williams, Logan George, Celine Held, Kitty Green, Veronika Franz, and Severin Fiala pulled off a winning season.
Writers Ryan Scott, Ishana Night Shyamalan, Alyssa Clark, Laura Marks, Henry Chaisson, Amy Louise Johnson, and Kara Lee Corthron did exemplary work on scripting season 3. There wasn't a dull moment in sight, and that's saying something for a show so heavily dependent on second-by-second suspense.
Trevor Gureckis's musical scoring set an admirable tone throughout the season. Costume design, hair-makeup, and VFX were quite good. Stunts, sound effects, and editing outdid themselves. Mike Gioulakis's cinematography was brilliant.
Dorothy Turner, played by Lauren Ambrose, was excellent. Sean Turner, played by Toby Kebbell, was outstanding. Leanne Grayson, played by Nell Tiger Free, was superb. Julian Pearce, played by Rupert Grint, was great.
Tobe, played by Tony Revolori, was notable. Milo, played by Joshua De Jesus, was interesting. Nancy, played by Carmen M. Herlihy, was amazing. Sylvia, played by Nadia Alexander, was great.
All other cast and crew did good work in "Servant" S03 streaming on Apple TV+.
The ten episodes that comprised "Servant" season 3 was packed with visual genius and directorial excellence, not to forget amazing performances and well-crafted dialogues.
This season turned the Turners' baby fright meter into the green gauge. The focus was more squarely on Leanne who was convinced that the paranormal cult she'd disobeyed was after her. The cult that used to be in the shadows so far started to step, in a manner of speaking, into the light.
It was outstanding to watch history repeat and supernatural elements come into play. This season wasn't kidding around. Season three of "Servant" boasted a distinctly darker theme and story-arc, and it was every bit as unforgettable as I'd expected it to be. It ended on quite the unnerving note. Night Shyamalan has done it again.
