I enjoyed the series until this season when everything fell flat...like a badly written soap opera.
I don't know how to describe my disappointment without a spoiler-filled rehash of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. I can't think of one plot point that wasn't overdone, cringey or too ludicrous for words...except a couple involving only the servants.
The clock patent and possible romance between the 2 van Rijn and Russell servants was interesting. Plus, I got a kick out of Agnes' butler putting her in her place.
Maybe next season will redeem itself, but, given all the ludicrous plot points needing resolution, I doubt it. They've already been telegraphed. The only possible surprise will be who Oscar van Rijn's next beard wil be.
I gave this season's costumes the 3 stars. The writing and directing was just abysmal.
