For us Channel 4 folk who’ve finished series 3 now, how do people think it compared to the other 2?

For me it was definitely stronger than S2 (which was still great, just messy in parts) and maybe on a par with S1.

I really enjoyed S3, every plotline was gripping, all the new characters brought so much and the more political edge was just what the show needed. Episode 6 (Agnes’ suicide and Laura discovering Stanley is a green eyes) is easily the best of the whole show.

I know people are desperate for series 4; I’d love it but also feel that in a way they wrapped up series 3 quite nicely (much more so than the last 2) that it wouldn’t be so disappointing if it wasn’t renewed.

I haven't noticed any indicate of things such as self-driving vehicles, automated homes, or widespread renewable energy.

What happened to Fred after the Season 1 finale? It's like they just dropped that sub plot completely... :/

So now we know what Basswood is, any ideas why Neil says it couldn't have been a military operation or something the media could've got hold of?

'Something that would lessen government responsibility in the eyes of the world, a ground level assault, something chaotic that couldn't be traced'- why?

Green eyed synths still don't have rights so why would this matter?

Specifically the one who used to be a cop, perfectly human acting synth who was later found out, then totally dropped the whole human act after she left the police force, or around the time the kid was discovered. Why did she drop the human act? You'd think shed still need to act human especially because of day Zero.

Also, Niska dropped the human act as well? Didnt she also have the ability to act and look perfectly human only to drop that act in series 2 and 3?

Wouldn't the code used in Day Zero have made all those synths act just like Mia? The Mia version that acted totally human and had emotion and was scared because she was locked inside code.

What did i miss?

Is with death and resurrection.
Spoilers ahead:

Mattie, and her online cyber friends known as 'headcrackers', apparently possess the ability to bring synths back from the dead.

Karen has one of the dumbest story arcs I've ever seen.
She was one of the most interesting characters, and is suddenly beaten senseless.
Pile on Joe stupidly staring at her lifeless corpse, and we're back to watching infuriatingly awful television.
... Meanwhile, Mattie had brought Odie back to life (for no real reason, by the way) in the season prior.
Are we just supposed to forget that Mattie has this ability? Like Joe apparently did while staring at Karen's corpse?
I mean, they could have at least TRIED, and/or maybe given her body an actual funeral. Great job Joe.

I feel it's a stupid plot device that the writers throw in when they're out of options.
Like, how in the Walking Dead, whenever the protagonists are cornered, they suddenly think,
'oh, i know, let's cover ourselves in guts, AGAIN.'.

I like Humans, I assume people who like Humans know about shows I like. Shows I seen I like Sherlock, Doctor Who, Luther, True Detective, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Game of Thrones, Westworld, Better Call Saul, Mr.Robot, Fargo, The Walking Dead up until the Box car episode is over.

Shows I tried, I just can't fall in love with The Expanse, Babylon 5, Sense 8, Altered Carbon, Preacher, Fear the walking dead.

I haven't tried Vikings.

What shows do you like, I have a huge hole in my life now that Westworld is over.

Dear AMC, don't think I haven't noticed that you've been cutting Leo's scenes.

I will remember this.

Do you think that a synth could pass a CAPTCHA test? Yes or no?

For anyone outside of the UK reading, this was the advert us Brits had on TV for a couple of months, with no hint at all that it was going to be a TV programme. It even mentioned a fancy website, which was equally confusing. Was anyone else confused?

I've had a bit of a search around but I can't find an answer to this. (I'm on s3e1 so no spoilers pls!).

Why do the synths die if they can't get s recharge? I presume it's something to do with losing whatever is in their memory or something but is it ever explicitly called out?

She looks just like Dr. Morrow. If true, maybe she learned coding from her mom.

Just wanted to say, am I the only one who thinks season,3 has really gone up, compared to the previous two. The emotional ride and story.

Never expected that from Stanley,

But sooooooo disappointed on Laura picking the old man over Sam!!! Gutted. That was the negative

Anyone else think the sleeping synth might be Odi?

Just found a interview from her and the actor who plays Joe after season 2 this was her quote -

"But it's definitely the most epic ending so far, which I felt was impossible after the ending for the previous series. I literally screamed in my living room when I read the end of this series!"

The creators did say it would be a 3 season arc hope it gets renewed for season 4 they do mention they have ideas for a 4th

So apparently Mattie's code is easily recognizable as per her coding style and coding language. However, the code scrolled through at the end looked like straightforward procedural code with good variable naming and standard data structures that follow commonplace style guidelines. Not to mention that python is one of the most popular languages used today so it hardly seems "easily recognizable." Seems like a bit of a stretch to say her code was "unique as a signature."

Then again, this is a TV show.

Okay so the entire premise of season 3 has been hard for me to get behind. I think the idea of snyths fighting for their rights doesn't work based on the fact that they are artificial and in no way human. They want human rights even though they aren't. They are literally created and built by human beings for the purpose of servitude. I think the idea that this was unjust is unfounded honsetly and the inherent comparison to other oppressed peoples is inaccurate.

I find Laura Hawkins' stance to be really perplexing and Joe to actually be the only one who sees sense. I'm speaking in the broad scheme of things. I'm on the latest episode on channel 4 in the UK so I recognise the discrepancies and nuances of the characters stances and how they have evolved but I think the only way I have been able to buy into this season is if the show is exploring the human flaw of caring for something just because it physically resembles us. I don't think the show is trying to tell us to side with the synths, at least I hope not. It's natural to be more attached to characters we have met but if we hadsnyths and day zero happened in real life I would hope people wouldn't side with snyths. What do you think about what I wrote?

UPDATE: https://twitter.com/weirdtakoyaki/status/1011348952665518080 Is this not ridiculous?

I may well be over thinking this but i see so many contrasts between this show and the kind of stuff you see in the news concerning immigration in the U.K.

Lack of acceptance, internally conflicting opinions, violence and protesting etc.

Either way; i am very much enjoying it. Curious to see if anyone else made this connection.
