never in all my life has a television series proved to be so disappointing. with a near faultless pedigree i think i was used to being spoiled by top-notch drama, plot & action and just assumed this would continue right through the entire series.
but then we came crashing down with season 3, which just goes to show no series (however awesome) is immune from becoming (relatively) popular and then turning to turd.
dont get me wrong, i love characterisation and development as much as anyone, the problem being that seasons 1 & 2 were able to do this whilt ALSO driving the plot forwards.
where the was the plot in season 3? did it even make much sense? not from where i was sitting. it felt like b-grade sci-fi/fantasy concepts of the most contrived and unconvincing nature. "we need the story to go this way so let's force it this way" -if I wanted to watch this bad there's 100 other shows I could be watching.
The series is only saved by the odd emotionally-driven plotless episode that actually resonates, where acting performances remain outstanding and (as always) music and camera work is stellar. All the bits and pieces are here, but unlike previous seasons they just don’t meld together in a seamless piece of awesomeness. Its as if half the writing team decided to go onto greener pastures, and left those who had written too many "days of our lives" episodes.
It is only the pure quality that the mini series and seasons 1/2 that lends ANY hope to the fourth (and final) season, a desperate denial of reality from me. Surely something that started out this awesome can pull itself back on track? I ing well hope so.
2 contrived plot points out of 5. |

| And where's the bit where you say "Sorry to everyone else for telling me this, but I was too stubborn and proud to admit that I may be wrong, until I actually watched the damn thing about 4 thousand years after everyone else"? |

all of my recommendations are quality. check out this new one with stephen dorff called 'botched'.. its a low budget cult type flick. first 20 minutes sucks and then you will piss yourself
