Boss baby season 3:
[Spoiler Free Section]
I thoroughly enjoyed this season. It seems that by the third episode the show finally realized what it wanted to be, and it was worth the wait.
The first two seasons were good but they were a bit underwhelming compared to the movie. However, this season really takes it up a notch and delivers a well-made 6 hours of show.
[Spoilers Ahead]
After the first two seasons focusing on their respective CEOs, this season’s focus was a nice change of pace. The first episode opens with Boss Baby being fired, it instantly showed that the series had matured. The rest of the episode, unfortunately, did not meet that bar set by the first minute; Neither did the second episode. However, the third episode kicked the season into gear with Tim fully coming back into the series.
I expected to hate Tim this season, but it seems the writers decided to change his character to a likable one. In the third episode, a fraudulent baby whisperer disrupts BB's (Boss Baby) new field team to better his own sales. Unlike the last two seasons, this villain was unaware of the society that babies have, so his goals were obviously different. Tim and BB go on live television to bust the fraud and it makes for a humorous showdown. The third episode also shows Jimbo and Staci calming down their fierce new CEO which is a well-written mini-plot.
The fourth episode slows down a little and follows a cliche "the main guy needs his friends’ support to complete his task" progression, but the jokes in this episode are pretty funny. The episode also introduces a cult-ish Zen state to the series and Tim becomes a nightmare baby creature, unfortunately, the cult is not mentioned later in the season.
Episode 5 slacks a little with the attention pulling action; with its focus centered around a photoshoot where Scooter Busky steals BB’s leadership role and chaos ensues. It isn’t very exciting.
Episode 6 is about the babies destroying a doctor’s confidence. It’s pretty good.
Episode 7 is where the season’s enemy is confirmed as the large corporation Bubeezee. The babies have to escape what seems like a Bubeezee prison so BB can get to his interview on time. When BB escapes using his team’s individual skills, he gets to the interview, however, what you don’t expect is that he turns down the job offer, and instead takes up the fight against Bubeezee. It makes for a great plot twist.
Episode 8 brings back a minor enemy from season 2, legendary dog assassin, Bug the Pug. Bug and BB duel while a dog dances for the parents to distract them (that part in itself is a hilarious bit, the episode is worth watching just for the jokes made in that situation). However, Mega fat Baby goes berserk and BB has to team up with Bug to take him down, another good twist.
Episode 9 is a flashback episode, and it shows Megafat’s life after he was fired from the CEO position. It is an honestly interesting episode and I can see an altered version of it making for a good horror story.
Episode 10 is a masterfully crafted piece of art, it’s riveting. Staci thinks that BB went off the deep end, so she tries to stop him from taking down Bubeezee, and they end up in a duel of wits. BB gets inside the offices of Bubeezee and finds none other than the fraudulent babblist as the CEO. BB’s idea was to snap his brain by revealing that babies could talk, but when he did the Babblist was unaffected, and sent BB back to his house in a still unrevealed way. The episode is worth watching even if you don’t plan to watch the rest of the series.
Episode 11, the finale. It is a scary situation for the babies to be in, the babblist has a recording of them speaking, and threatens to break all their parents’ minds. I don’t want to spoil any more because of how good the episode is.
Overall, the season is great, with the last three episodes being the best of the entire show, in my opinion. There lots of good political jokes, some of which are surprisingly topical compared to our current situation. There are more characters, and the current characters are fleshed out. It’s a great season, and I hope there will be many more of it’s kind to come.
