Yeah...I was pretty annoyed with the 3rd season. I just finished it last night.
It definitely wasn't as powerful as the first season. There was no real ending/epilogue for all but one of the main characters. The last episode especially was long, meandering, and annoying at times. They tried way too hard the whole season trying to make the Western theme happen. The "artistry" started feeling self-important and disconnected from the characters.
The first season I was in shock and awe. It felt real. This season was a caricature.
It was still worth watching for Sydney Sweeney's tits, but I'd recommend just finding clips of those scenes rather than watching the full episodes.
