That's good. It was very bad for the price, and only getting worse. The first season was very fun and intriguing. After that, it went nowhere insightful, and all of the cowboys and indians disappeared. It became a bunch of bores arguing in conference rooms between superspy missions.

I thought season 3 was good. Better than Season 1. The plot was relevant in the world of big data. The show Devs had this kind of theme as well. It asks interesting philosophical questions. But yes, Season 1 had more artistry and nostalgia.

The 'human diorama' plot made the show. Baffling that they threw that overboard so quickly. By the third season it was just vague mumblings about technology.

I think the point of Season 3 was that the whole world had been transformed into a kind of Westworld through predictive algorithms and surveillance, and that we aren't really that much less programmable than the robots.
