Agree there was a huge drop in quality this season. I wouldn’t say it was awful though as it kept me hooked. I enjoyed it but the script of this season was dumbed down to the extreme. It’s so spoon fed to the audience. The dialogue is appalling in places, and the plot is so rushed in some areas but slow in others. The way the engineers pull solutions out of thin air in mere seconds is laughable. “Can we find out where those probes landed?” “Yeah maybe. (1 second later) “Oh here they are and they’re already plotted on this 3D map with distances accurately measured”. It happens multiple times per episode and it’s lazy. It’s like a kid wrote some of it.
All the Helios scenes in the offices are definitely like a very very bad daytime drama. Amazing final scene with Radiohead though. I’m guessing they had different units and scriptwriters for different locations, as the quality varies massively. Still looking forward to S4 though. It’s still interesting whereas I’ve completely gone off The Expanse.
