    Glad it's not just me. Felt like I had missed an entire season.

    Given how needlessly confusing and unfocused series 2 was, I've lost a lot of confidence in both the writers and the premise.

    The writers are going to have to lay a few golden eggs to rescue this story.

    Didn't realise that S3 started last night. Its been a bit all low key with its release hasn't it?

    Debating to rewatch S2, it lost me a bit, hopefully S3 just focuses on the robots being in a human world and keeps it a lot simpler.
    There is, quite sensibly, a pretty thorough recap at the start of the episode.

    I *really* enjoyed it. Its so rich and glossy. Everything looks fantastic and its just so cinematic. I just love it.

    Mind you, I thought this about S2 and it does mask a multitude of sins, so what do I know?

    But... its a great start. Jane Bond was great, Jesse Pinkmans storyline is GTA Online with a nervous breakdown and Bernard is a now the guy from Upgrade.

    Solid A from me, m8s.

    No issues with the sound? I will rewatch.

    There was one thing I missed because it was a low growl but other than that, nothing jumped out.

    I'll invest in an ear trumpet. I missed a LOT.

    Very glad this is back. Strong opening episode, I thought.

    I enjoyed the first season, then lost interest in the second - is it worth giving it another try?

    Strong episode that.

    Once or twice was 100% sure on what was said due to the music being a bit loud. Budget must have been pretty big for this

    Thought the episode was pretty good and interesting. Will continue the series for now at least.

    They definitely need to turn the music down a bit in the latest episode. In fact can shows stop having music playing constantly and let the scenes do the work themselves

    I’ve reached a point in my life where I have the subtitles on all the time and the TV set to reduce loud noises. It kinda helps when some shows devolve into Mumblevision.

    I too experienced this. I genuinely feel like they sneaked in new things.

    My only gripe is the magic wands (tablets) that hack and reprogram with a couple of swipes.

    Feels a bit like a sonic screwdriver for getting shit done.

    Sound quality over NowTV is horribly muddy :(

    I wonder what the aspect ratio changes signify?

    I really struggled hearing some of the dialogue first viewing on Sky. So may not be NowTV issue.

    I can't see the 4k download on sky. Have they removed them in the current climate?

    Thandie's nekkid again...

    Most likely. Everyone else seems to be getting rid of 4k

    Yeah it's fucking awful, the music is far too loud too.

    Yep. What would have been one of the best scenes in episode 3 ruined by loud music. Couldn't hear half of what the character was saying.

    It's ridiculous how loud the music gets at times

    I haven't watched ep 3 yet but I am glad this is one of the rare shows with subtitles available on Nowtv. The amount of things you know are subtitled on regular Sky but not on Nowtv is annoying.

    I download eps and watch in Plex and have frequently had WAY TOO LOUD MUSIC issues, not just in this show. Have always assumed I’ve downloaded something with the sound coded set to something my TV can’t handle, and Apple TV’s Reduce Loud Sounds doesnt make any difference so I just have to have subs on.

    Not seen ep3 yet, but loved eps 1 and 2. I’m happy they’ve said they’re making this series way less convoluted than 1 or 2 and are telling a new chapter of the story. The show needed it, and apparently they’ve planned out the whole story to the end, over a certain number of series, so I guess they know the storytelling needed to take a new direction for balance.

    OMG Dolores on the cycle holy fucking shit.

    At last, we finally know the backstory to the protagonist of Resistance Fall of Man!

    Series is much better than 2 but still not as good as 1. Can't help thinking this will end up being a "future park" or Paul Aarons character will end up being a robot but hopefully neither of those happen.

    I don't remember S1 having lots of cuts in scenes? Also had 0 issue with the sound this week.

    That "Wicked Games" cover was great

    I watched a few of this season, having thought last season was a shitty, shitty mess and it doesn't feel any different.

    They've Walking Deaded the show. Had a decent enough idea in the first season, with relatively good story arcs and then ran out of ideas other than getting new Worlds and tried to write out plots from earlier where there really wasn't any substance to begin with.

    I will revisit if they go to the following new Worlds:

    Pirate
    Disney
    Spice

    The LOUD MUSIC hides the nonsensical script
