Interesting to read the different perspectives on here. We finished 3 last night. Personally, I found the finale to rival any single episode of any television program I’ve ever seen. [Reply]

I really did like the story arc for the asshole older brother but found the young black girl to be unbearably annoying. They still have some good ideas but it felt like the writing got sloppy this season and a few times they just said "well, fuck it, because 80's."
Yeah, I have mixed feelings about season 3... it was still a fun season to watch, but at one point I kind of realized how pointless most of the Russia stuff was to the overall story. The fluff was well executed, I guess..... it wasn't like other shows where I'd think "FFS, just get on with it," at least not for a while, with all the stuff going on.
The little girl was amusing at times, but maybe taken too far... definitely annoying at times.
I rolled my eyes at the whole "oh shit, I've lost my powers!"... seems like that's been done over and over, and if the whole point was that she couldn't beat it alone, they didn't really need to do it in the first place. [Reply]

If you go back and watch the scene where his dad slaps him around, he acts totally different. He was normal AF when face to face with his father. I think he's a classic case of an abused child lashing out at his peers in an effort to cope.
Well, Billy got a semi redemption.. not that he deserved it.
