E2 was preposterous, like even more preposterous than previous preposterousness for this show. But I’m still down. A good twist emerged.

[Drunk Monk]

E3 out preposteroused the previous eps preposterousness. I mean really - guessing the code to crack a safe at the very last minute - that was the plan? Oh lawd - I sound like Greg.

Still watching tho. It’s preposterousness continues to entertain.

[Drunk Monk]

E4 was a bit of a filler ep, a betrayal and set up for things to come. There was a character named Tara Xang which in French sounds a lot like our daughter’s name.

E6 was great mostly because I foresaw a plot twist and that made me happy. Building for that finale.

[Drunk Monk]

E7: All tied up neatly with some nice reunion moments and just desserts for the baddies. The finale is set on the Arc de Triumph which is a bit silly touristy but if it was good enough for John Wick…
And in the end, the door is open for another season. 

We were entertained.

The betrayal annoyed me. I thought it seemed out of character for Asane or just a lazy way to up the ante.

[Drunk Monk]

Yeah that kinda bugged me too. I wanted it to be part of a duplicitous master plan but it comes off as a botched heist and a flailing resolution. On the whole, I felt like S3 forced us to accept more, and it was pushing the edge with that.

[King Bob]

Well, that's the big problem with a lot of (non-sitcom) shows - they have to push it a little more each season. The trick is to stop before it goes too far. Hopefully they can do that.

[Drunk Monk]

Kinda borderline this season, especially towards the end. We still enjoy it though. It’s so park-your-brain-outside and Paris is lovely. Plus I read some Lupin researching this show when tasked to write about it when it came out, so it still strikes a cord for me.
