Story plot
All the problems that Season 1 and 2 had, were just further exacerbated in Season 3.
Season 1:
Great storyline and a modern update with current affairs. Definitely could figure out which stories they were implementing into the show with current president Trump. The Asian FBI agent was a little over the top and in some ways in unrealistic outcomes.
Season 2:
Carried out pretty much the same way, but the storylines is what kept intrigue and anticipation for the next events.
Season 3:
This season where Netflix takes over from ABC, and it shows. Season 3 tries to be a little edgier with coarse language, but the scale of the narrative feels a lot smaller.
There were a lot of subplots which I felt had no real impact on the main narrative. things like the assisted suicide plot, the sperm donor baby plot, and Hannah Wells’ investigation. Season 3 also feels distinctively more left-wing than previous seasons. There’s a lot of focus on right-wing groups and how bad they are, but there is no mention of left-wing groups at all. Isabel and Aaron breaking up only later to find out that Isabel is pregnant with Aaron’s baby. We also witness Mars convincing, Lynn, to run for her father’s old Senate seat.
A golden opportunity comes knocking up Isabel’s door when she’s asked to be the White House Deputy Chief of Staff.
Season 4 expectation
Despite knowing the truth that the series was dropped by Netflix, fans didn’t give up their hope. Fans still believes that it will continue and return with a new season with more interesting plots.
