Season 3 better than season 2
Great series even season 2 but I have enjoyed season 3 more than season 2.
shareTotally. They really ramped it up in S3 after finding out the witness was their son.

S3 was dumbed way down so I'm sure it will be more popular.
shareAgreed. I'm just about done with S3 and I've come to see this. It really is better.
Part of it is that all of the characters are so developed now, some scenes can do without dialog. We know what Cassie meant when she nodded at Cole at the end of that EP (3?) where she finally comes back after being in Titan (spoiler ahead), "[Spoiler]Yes, The Witness is our son[/Spoiler]".
But it's more than that. The writing is smoother. It's just a more mature team doing the show now.
No, there's no dumbing down. I have no idea what the poster means by that. The one thing they stopped doing was coming back from a mission and saying "We're still here, so that didn't work". The story lines are more complex than that now, actually.
I did however find EP5 to be goofy. I felt like I was watching an episode of The Librarians, and I don't mean that as a compliment. I hope that doesn't happen again.
Is it really only 10 EP long this season though? S2 was 13.

Yes ep 5 was cringeworthy when they were talking to the camera and jumping around. Also trying to use modern internet slang, probably trying to appeal to a wider audience with that episode, well i imagine. I skipped through that part because thought it was dumb, but there wasn't any other parts like that in the rest of the season. Glad it was a one off.
sharethe show's become too convoluted with characters changing sides and their missions twisted to suit that character's desires, jumping into 5, 6, 7 different eras
shareYou know, I struggle to disagree with you on that. I realy enjoyed the first season and had high hopes. As much as I like the characters and time travel concept. I can't help but think it could have been a lot better if the writing was better in season 2 and 3.
It just became so convoluted and I don't shy away from complicated story lines usually, but it definitely became too far off the main topic of the virus and time travel. It became silly.
