A lot of fans have criticized this season but I think they missed the point. It starts with a build up of Leanne's rising paranoia and then that paranoia shifts to Dorothy. With hints of the cult members appearing again which becomes clearly real towards the end of the season finale. This season was all about rising tension. It was all a build up to the end of this episode. This is what the season was supposed to be: a slow burner. And as Dorothy becomes more and more unstable, using every tactic to get rid of Leanne, Leanne realized that she in turn must use ANY tactic to stay. If "Jericho" is in fact her baby, I don't blame her for using extreme methods to stay with her son. It's not like her character development this season hasn't prepared us for this. Is it really a surprise?? It raises the question: would a mother go so far as to kill to be with her child. I thought this season was brilliant!! Some people aren't fans of slow burners, and you don't typically see that form used in TV shows, but all the waiting and wondering about what was going to happen was worth it. So they leave us with this: the cult is back. Is Dorothy dead?? Paralyzed?? And if she's still alive, will she ever find out the truth?? I mean, I think it's inevitable that she will. I loved this season and I can't wait for season 4!! (by the way, are we going to see a cult war in season 4 or some other time in the future??)

The third season of Servant has certainly had its highs and lows, but it ended in a pretty wild way that certainly will get the fans talking. This show probably did not need a third season, but I am glad that we got that and I am glad that we are getting a 4th season as well.

The ending also set the stage for a really unpredictable final run where Dorothy may not be in charge or really be in control that much anymore.

Let's get more focused on the drama with baby Jericho and his origins and what will finally happen to Leanne though. Things got a little bit way too derailed throughout this year.

The last plan of Dorothy failed and she has a big accident. What we can think about all of this its when Jericho and Leanne have some connections in some way . I dont know how but Leanne clearly is not innocent in this accident too . We wondering what will happen next for Dorothy and Leanne . Nice episode anyway.

After being intrigued by Servant's first season, the second slate of episodes let me down a bit-to the point where I dropped off and didn't watch these S3 episodes when originally aired. After hearing good things about the third go-round, however, I decided to give it another shot. What I found was a definite improvement in plot/character focus, if still featuring the head-scratching weirdness of a Shyamalan project.

For a very basic overview, S3 really focuses on nanny Leanne (Nell Tiger Free) and her struggles acclimating to normal society (always looking over her shoulder for former cult influences). At the same time, fresh off her S2 campaign to retrieve baby Jericho, Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) begins to suspect that something isn't quite right, having not yet faced Jericho's strange history/reality. She blames Leanne, and the actions of Sean (Toby Kebbell) & Julian (Rupert Grint)-even if trying to psychologically protect Dorothy from more trauma-only persuade her further that nefarious action is afoot.

The focus on Leanne is a godsend for S3, as it prevents the all-over-the-place fracturing of most of the S2 installments. There is a clear arc here of Leanne coming to terms with her past and trying to create a future, and Servant is a show that thrives when its general weirdness is used to support such arcs, not stand separate from them.

That being said, Servant is still a show in which seemingly "momentous" things happen (attributed much dramatic weight) but can't really be described or given all that much meaning after the fact. For example, a plot arc involving homeless young people living in the park across from the Turner residence is present all season long, yet I can't explain to you here its exact significance. The same could go for a sub-plot involving Dorothy's coworker "frenemy" Isabelle (Molly Griggs) in which she is given a seemingly very dramatic arc-yet, once again, I don't think I can put my finger on exactly why it is significant. For these types of reasons, my star ranking for S3 won't go above 8/10.

Servant is also still extremely helped from-if not sometimes outrightly buoyed by-the 25-30 minute episode runtimes. If this was a 40-50 minute episode show, there's no way I'd still be watching. But these quick-hitting episodes are the perfect timeframe in which to showcase Shyamalan's oddness interspersed with the plot/character drama.

Overall, S3 brought me back into the Servant camp, if you will, and has me intrigued again about what a forthcoming fourth (and final) season will bring. The show is a bit too visually and symbolically open-ended to ever vault to all-time favorite status for me, but I'm again invested enough in the characters to want to know how everything turns out.

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.

Since episode 1 when you finally start to piece together that something has happened to Dorothy's baby, and that she was responsible, you begin to wait for her reckoning. When will she fully have to face whatever it was that she did that led to her child's death? It's something the writers would even tease a couple times every season - is Dorothy just coming undone, or is she finally going to face herself? But all of that ends up being for nothing after this episode. Even if/ when we do find out what happened to Jericho, it doesn't really matter anymore without his mother's story to him being realized.

They also brought back the character I disliked watching the most from season 1 at the end for seemingly no reason.
