Undoubtedly the most self-centred, self-contained and self-serving season of them all. Gone is the imaginative and brilliant work with the characters from the first season and the breadth and variety from the second. This is just marketing and an attack on the impressionable viewer. There are a few bright spots, standard good performances, but nothing that could be seen again without fast-forward.

Another overstuffed episode that exactly replicates the previous ones from each season finale, and it’s no longer bearable. The creators use the same tactics and methods over and over again, and that would annoy even a die-hard fan for the umpteenth time, let alone a disinterested viewer eager for quality TV. It's not that the last episode wasn't imaginative, but somehow, from left or right, it's predictable, it's coming from somewhere, and that's not good. Actually, it's quite boring.

Only the last episode will make any sense now. Lamster is just a well-acted episode that doesn't advance the overall development of the characters or the plot of the show one iota.

It's almost a sterile quick-turnaround borefest, but the gradual unveiling of the bond between Wendy and Ax is impressive and has due depth. So it stands out even amongst the incredible barrage of wordy dialogue, half of which is about nothing.

Absurd situations that have little to do with the dramatic potential of, for example, the first season. The creators don't know which way to go anymore, so they keep adding one weird moment after another.

Thoroughbred comedy crowned by a boxing match and training montage like in Rocky.

Nothing was more exciting than the imaginary titan clash of Wendy vs Tyler. And nothing was warmer than Bobby's gesture at his favorite pizza place.

Plans about how to take each other out, or until the last minutes it is not clear who of whom. A bit far-fetched and some of the loops are suspiciously simple, but whatever. A bunch of young and progressive people who somehow have mysterious connections to the most powerful people in the city, which is both a bit bullshit and an ambitious and inspiring comparison to the often lame reality.

This time the funny ploys are performed in tandem by the two main characters. Yeah, why not? Axel's is a little less fun and less for effect, but it's cooler, more nuanced. Fine by comparison.

A great performance by Chuck Rhoades and, for the first time in a long time, another respectably riveting episode.
