Seasons 1 and 2 are both great. Season 1 was fresh and spent a lot of time in world building and developing the characters and their arc. And Sir Anthony Hopkins always is a delight. But I also enjoyed season 2 as they travel to the promised land. It nicely concludes the story and was action packed. I give both season 1 and 2 an 8.

But season 3 totally lost me. If some of the original cast was not in season 3 I would have given up but I hung on as you're invested in these characters. Unfortunately the story was weak and the villain silly and it's hard to follow the story. The pacing is off and the conclusion didn't pay off. There were many scenes where it just drags and tonally it's off that I had to fast forward the slow bits or I would have tuned out. Really the story nicely concluded in season 2 and there's no story left to tell so they're trying to keep this going but there just isn't much plot or character arc. Can't see how they can sustain this into more seasons The hosts have already gotten their happily ever after in the promised land at the end of season 2. Season 3 is watchable for some cool action scenes but lower your expectations and fast forward slow scenes so you don't fall asleep.
