World famous comedian John Cena disagrees

7/10 for this season by the end. Did have two 10/10 episodes though.

They went to the well way too much on the crazy editing. Got a bit masturbatory. Think they can hopefully dial it down a tad for S4.

Guessing episode 1 and the JLC episodes are the 10s

first word that came to mind for ep1

this perfectly sums up my experience

I really didn't mind it in E1. But I live in a country with legal cannabis

It's the fact they KEPT doing it.

Cruised through S3 this week.

Agree with most of the above posts.

Weakest season yet. All the editing, vignettes, flashbacks, it was all just a bit too performative. Too many episodes were solely focused on the minor characters.

Feel like they wanted Ice Chips to be the Fishes of this season and it didn't do it.

There was virtually zero plot development the entire season. It inched us closer to conflict without actually giving us any. Pretty much zero of the interesting plot devices going on (is the restaurant actually good, Carmy-Richie, Carmy-Claire, will Sydney stay, Carmy-Cicero, Carmy-Mom) were advanced in any meaningful way.

Also Sydney is a very annoying character. You're trying to make me believe someone this anxious and insecure can handle leading a team?

I mean, I'm committed now to watching the show go through it all, but it probably only needs 1-2 more seasons.

I’m through 8 episodes. Only episode I liked was Napkins which focused on Tina. A lot of the episodes are terrible and if not for two great seasons, I would have already quit. I don’t have much hope this gets turned around but I’ll keep watching through S4.

I stopped after episode 3 then just read recaps on wiki. I’ll (probably) finish it when season 4 drops, since I’ll have mostly forgotten S3, but I don’t know. I’m done with trauma-porn at this point.

Yeah, after finishing it last night have to say I was disappointed. No resolution in any meaningful way. They couldn't even give us Richie asking the new maitre d girl to the wedding as a feel good moment in the final episode. Everything implied, nothing solid. Kind of annoying TBH, and I wish Season 4 was coming sooner.

But damn, JLC absolutely kills that mother role. Some of the best acting I've ever seen.

Art has to be what I want it to be and resolve what I want it to resolve to be “good”

There's trauma porn and there's trauma porn. Yellowstone is the former; this is the latter.

Just now got around to watching season 2 and holy **** episode 6 is one of the worst things I've ever watched. Felt like it was a 3 hour episode. Jamie Lee Curtis blew the role away in both appearances. Its such a stressful show where everyone is awful and nothing ever happens, then you get this little piece of perfection and that is what keeps me watching. The end of Richies episode leading into the chocolate covered banana really got me. Oliver Platt delivers such a subtle yet impactful moment.

I've heard enough about season 3 that I'm really not looking forward to watching it. I didn't even enjoy most of season 2

It sounds like you don't watch things to enjoy them but to experience them, season 3 is a thing to be experienced even if the flavour is less.... sharp, perhaps, than season 2. It's still a very well-made show with compelling storyline and cast and everything, just season 3 is less pizzazzy, and season 2 set the bar higher than it would ever be likely to retain in season 3.
