Personally, I think season three has been the best and most entertaining of the three seasons so far. Without getting into spoilers, it basically feels like a different show now, except with the same cast, and the same, mind-bending vibe (though, as previously noted, the presentation has been more straightforward, at least six episodes in). This season is also some of the best sci-fi I've ever seen, be it movies or TV, both in terms of storytelling and the tech. It's been so incredibly cool so far in that regard, and I highly recommend not giving up. Also, if it helps, season three is only eight episodes, compared to the usual ten. But the budget is on the screen more than ever this season, as every episode feels like a blockbuster movie at times, so I imagine the lower episode count is due to the even higher production value. They've certainly spared no expense this season, as it looks incredible.
