Taxi Driver 3 – A Moral Breakdown with No Discussion
I loved Taxi Driver Seasons 1 & 2. Vigilante justice with a code. Batman-style revenge: brutal, clever, cathartic — but they didn’t kill people. That was the point.
Season 3? Apparently that memo got lost.
Somewhere along the way Rainbow Taxi stopped exposing villains and started… burying people alive, leaving others to drown, and very much letting characters die without a blink or a single line of self-reflection. No debate. No guilt. No acknowledgement that they’ve crossed a line they spent two seasons carefully avoiding.
And that’s the problem.
If you’re going to abandon the show’s moral backbone, you need to say something about it. Instead, Season 3 just shrugs and moves on. The writing seems to assume “they’re evil enough, so it’s fine,” which is lazy and honestly a bit disappointing.
The plots were darker, sure. Some cases were still compelling. Lee Je-hoon remains excellent. But the emotional and ethical coherence that made this show satisfying is gone.
I didn’t hate it. I just finished it feeling confused, unsatisfied, and slightly betrayed — like watching Batman suddenly become The Punisher and no one mentioning it.
Season 1–2: sharp, righteous revenge.
Season 3: vibes, violence, and a raised eyebrow.
Underwhelming. And a bit shit.
