OK.

Season 3 is coming to an end, with consistently polished visuals and new gameplay that's as captivating as it is addictive. The tension is there, but you can still feel that some momentum has been lost along the way. I admit that, despite the hype, this season left me quite confused.

The deaths follow one another in a dramatic, sometimes even excessive, manner. The baby, tossed around like a puppet, remains surprisingly stoic (too wise for what he's going through, poor thing...). Some characters we hoped would shine quickly disappear, victims of fates that aren't always fair.

I appreciated the behind-the-scenes look at these rich old Westerners who are as detestable as they are caricatures. Cliché, yes, but it works. This season is undeniably dark—not just in its aesthetic, but also in its responses. We're given bits and pieces to piece together, but the end result isn't quite what we'd hoped for.

I'm happy to be wrapping up this trilogy, but I'm still a little disappointed. Ultimately, I preferred season 2, which was richer in emotion and punctuated with welcome humor. Here, between grief and anger, the palette remains rather limited.

A must-see, yes—but not necessarily a must-see—for this third season.
