This season leans heavily into disturbingly gory horror, so if that’s a turnoff for you don’t even try to watch it. That being said, the writing is miles better than the previous two seasons (though still not as good as season 1). There’s a much better presentation of consistent character motivation and exciting, compelling, understandable conflict to keep the audience engaged despite the unconscionably long episode lengths (the final episode is 2h40m long). The Joyce storyline is weaker than the rest but not too bad, and Max’s storyline is some of the best in the entire series.
