It feels like the survival monster story plot took a backseat to some emotional bulls*it...
Worst of the 3 seasons for sure.
They sacrificed a lot of time they could have spent focusing on defeating the monster threat and developing the strongest characters survival stories stalling with other filler nonsense. They also sacrificed time they could have spent explaining and showcasing the various types of infectees strengths and weaknesses, to instead focus SO MUCH time on pointless emotional character expositions and discussing or portraying relationships that were barely existent/non existent in the first 2 seasons. I assume they were trying to focus on pulling viewer heart strings or some nonsense like that, but I felt nothing for anyone by the end, not even the 'victory' for the leads felt good.
They also sacrificed a lot of time for some very, very pointless dialogue and trying to make the neo human/leads look 'cool' and act very smooth and collected and exchange 'cool' lines and looks at each other at the most ridiculous times, interrupting the pacing of the series in many places, and their attitudes contradicting everything previously felt about those particular characters struggles. Also, many loose ends were not even remotely addressed, there was no actual showdown between the main threat and the leads at the end (major cop out and waste of all that CGI) and all the wrong lead characters died while some really useless ones survived.
Anyway:
The GOOD:
- The acting and casting.
- 90% of the CGI.
- The fight scenes.
The BAD:
- The plot. Total waste of the previous two seasons. Very, very weak wrap up.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Lee Si Young was excellent as always (they wasted her appearance in S03 completely, might as well have killed her off in S02)
- The soldiers never failed to be interesting characters in S02 and S03, they also served more purpose and carried more weight in the story than the leads in S03.
- Hyun Su looked pretty neat with neon blue eyes.
Season 3 was the furthest removed from S01 imo, they took this in a different direction in a bad way, it didn't match the intensity, energy and fast paced action of the first two seasons which made engaging with the content and being invested in the characters survival feel very blah.
Over all season 3 was a let down for me.
Because S03 is such a let down and S02 will leave you expecting a third season, which will disappoint you, I'd suggest people just don't watch past S01, because S01 can actually be considered stand alone just fine and it was excellent.
