Because I was responding to his quote about "happy endings", go back and read my post. I like that season for MANY more things than just the fact that the "bad guys won"...

More like, I said I appreciated that it was more grounded in the realm of realism, especially based on the current world around us...


You said you liked it because it was realistic because the bad guys won. Which is idiotic.

Not trying to step on anyone foot. But he does have a point.
Currently only people who chose not to see the truth in our world, believe good prevails.
It's quite the differ for most of it all, money, power rules the world. And most of that money/power is held by selfish, greedy, inhuman people.

I'll reiterate

The bad guys basically won in season 1 and 3 as well. Not to mention judging an entire series based solely on the last 40 minutes of it is just...

*Mild spoiler* Finished the last episode of season 3 not too long ago. Loved the season, although I hoped they were going to address The Yellow King a bit more from season 1, given that season 1 and 3 are in the same "universe".
Not as good as season 1, but miles ahead of season 2.

Stephen Dorff was great all througout, hope this will turn some heads so he can get more high profile roles in future

O yeah, really enjoyed his role, much more than Mahershala Ali (although he was excellent too).

Ending did come a bit abrupt but I much prefer an 8 episode season over 20. Possibly 12 episodes would work too.

The only idiot here is clearly you, for continuing to base everything I said on that one point...

Then again, with the "bad guys being in power" line, I must have clearly struck a nerve. You must be a Trump supporter and proud MAGA hat wearer...

"You are an idiot because you base what I said on what I said."

Great.

Just got around to finishing S3.

It's worth watching if you have run out of other things to watch. It's good, I don't have any criticisms of it.

But it's not like S1, where anyone who hasn't watched it needs to drop what they are doing asap and get on it.

Felt the same.

It's entertaining, sure, but I didn't feel like I NEEDED to watch the next episode, or that I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. It was good, but I thought it was enthralling than even the 2nd part. It was a better overall product, but I just didn't care that much about it.
