However, despite its burgeoning popularity, the anthology series has also never had more criticism.
Before getting into the specifics, it’s important to note that this season had a lot of potential.
The performances were as strong as ever, and there were some elements in the story that worked.

As a whole, though, it felt incomplete in many ways.
But most of the humorous scenes are more grave than they should be.
If the series keeps going in this direction, season 4 won’t be any fun.
More should happen with more time, yet season 3 proved the least eventful of them all.
His theft and attempt to kill his family could have led to meaningful conversations, but they don’t.
Instead, he mostly just talks to Mook (Lalisa Manobal) and rather effortlessly finds his missing gun.
Overall, this season would have been stronger if it were two episodes shorter.
This latest season had so many characters that many of them felt underdeveloped.
It truly felt like the ensemble was stretched thin.
Overall, the series' critiques have much less bite if the less-privileged characters get less attention.
So, what’s the point of connecting these women to the Russian guys?
Nothing about the finale would really change.

These three friends essentially have nothing to do with the rest of the main characters.
Thisunsurprisingly became a controversial storyline, with people asking if incest went too far.
Arguably yes, though it didn’t have to be.

The incest can therefore be interpreted as a metaphor for the family’s toxic and fragile socio-economic bubble.
Strangely, Saxon is the only one affected by the threesome.
Given the final cut, though, the incest feels more shocking than thought-provoking.

Specifically, we ought to see Saxon and Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) find out about Chelsea.
This makes their arcs (as well as Chelsea’s) feel incomplete.
He ought to, right?
