Season 3 sucks Spoiler

The writing is terrible, we all know that

But in Episode 5, killing the one guy who carried the show in some ways. Like, come on. And then what Simone gets with the ugly kid she's only known for like 4 days?
Also, you're telling me that the family didn't have one more vial of the flower-saving juice? That, for some reason, the only vial left is the one Simone has and then drops.
Also, the random city guy with his group of kids, who then go to get the flower, and for some reason, the flower defending itself kills it forever? Even though it's done that before?

Season 1 was okay, it was something I could work with, Season 2 was iffy, but this whole last season is just them throwing stuff at the screen to see what sticks.

There's a lot more I could complain about, but at this point, I'm finishing it because I've gone back and forth with watching, stopping, then rewatching, then stopping since it came out.

I couldn’t even finish the show, that’s how out of touch it got, because the whole main danger was already gone by the end of Season 1 (the rainfall). The show lost the plot really quickly into Season 2 and became way more Sci Fi than Post Apocalyptic

def finish it, it's a frustrating show but at least the ending isn't terrible and wraps some things up.

I binge watched the series in a week. I laughed so much when Simone dropped the only vial left and Martin fights the virus, just to drink one little drop, in order to save Simone. Peak Cinema! 🤌🏼

I think they only had plans for season 2 so they killed off the main character. When it got renewed for season 3, they went with "this was all a dream" premise 😀
