I totally forgot about the flashback timeline teased at the end of season two. Looks like they're really leaning into that in season three, which is probably wise after last season started to feel like it was treading water a bit. Could be an interesting approach.

Also, just FYI, season four - the finale season - already wrapped filming this month, so it shouldn't be a long wait between seasons. Hopefully first half of 2027. Either way, they shot seasons three and four back-to-back, so I imagine this second half of the series will have some real cohesion/momentum heading into the home stretch

Thus far, this show would have benefitted from shorter seasons. It feels like season 1 and 2 both had lulls midway through their respective seasons. Contrived and sometimes nonsensical drama to advance the plot, bad acting, and so much wasted time putting Juliette in "danger" when we all know she wasn't dying. I don't need to see her wiggle in the water for 30 seconds of screen time while they do the "will she die??" It's one of many occasions where the scene was literally just filler. Tensionless peril. There were multiple offenders last season, with the worst being the bridge she tried to walk across (the scene took over 5 minutes of screen time).

Hoping season 3 - 4 will buck this trend because I otherwise really like the show.

I don't know how episode count or length work, but the first book presented a problem. There was too much for 10 episodes at a 45-60 minute runtime, but not enough for two seasons.

The last two books fit much better into one season each.

"started?" I was bored to tears & quit watching. Really loved the first season & might suffer through season 2 if the third one is any good.

I get the plot armor complaint, but are writers just not allowed to put main characters in danger at all? That feels pretty limiting. I try to get lost in those moments rather than sitting back and analyzing whether she'll actually die. Worth noting too that they did kill off what felt like main characters in the first two episodes, so they've shown they're willing to go there. Though yeah, her dying in an abandoned silo mid-series would have just torched the whole storyline, so that one was never really on the table.

I'm not completely disagreeing with you though. The show has been quite slow, which drives me crazy because you have all these major questions looming and they've mainly just been stacking more on top rather than answering any of them. Hoping S3 is a breath of fresh air on that front.
