The season is not well-rounded and most of the time boring. I don't understand why the single episodes lasts almost 90 minutes when it primarily consists of filler material. It feels like they had to put some stuff in so that the season feels big but its only shallow stuff, like the empty vastness in modern open-world RPGs that has no relevance to anything in the game. The same applies basically for two of the four main plots. It felt like watching three different movies that only connect in the penultimate and ultimate episode - and again in a very shallow way. The season has some great ideas but since it choses to increase the cast and tries to give every character a decent storyline, the screentime for the interesting parts of this season get neglected.
So, in general, it's just a bunch of ideas thrown into a season, but nothing is ever explored in some deeper way. That's why this season feels shallow - with no heart and soul attached to it. Most of the emotional moments feel cliche and forced.
On the plus side, the visuals and soundtrack are nice as always. The retro feeling is still on.
This season will probably the reason why I will not watch the next season - the first two seasons were awesome though.
