Even with a Darker Edge
The long-awaited Season 3 of Taxi Driver is finally here, and it does not disappoint. The new storylines are captivating and keep you engaged, but I would say that Seasons 1 and 2 were more elaborated and tightly written overall.
One noticeable shift in Season 3 is its darker tone. This time, revenge often leads to killing, which marks a clear departure from the earlier seasons. In Seasons 1 and 2, killing was never the end goal—the motto was justice through revenge without taking lives. When an assailant did die, it was usually accidental. This moral change may not sit well with everyone and slightly alters the core identity of the show.
That said, the acting remains strong and highly entertaining, which is one of the series’ biggest strengths. The soundtrack and OST, however, could use some improvement compared to previous seasons.
Overall, despite its darker direction and a few shortcomings, I still genuinely enjoy watching Taxi Driver 3 and look forward to seeing how the story continues.
