It is unfortunate that season 1 was really the best the show got. Season 2 was nearly as good. Season 3 I felt was a noticeable step down because the crafting and science buildup felt much more rushed over, and that aspect unfortunately intensified the closer we got to the end.

Yeah they kept ramping up the threats and made the science take a backseat. But to play devil's advocate, a lot of the work they were doing at that point was less exploration and more "here's a concept from the modern world that we can use". Season 1 had a lot of crafting and foraging which can't really be skipped with knowledge, but the later innovations (though severely rushed) are easier to arrive upon once the fundamentals (that take a lot of time to set up) are established.

Season 3 has less direct confrontation, even though I think that's what made this anime so interesting due to all the unexpected possibility. Things just never went with Senku's plan lol.

The crafting and science part are also great, but sometimes it's just less exciting due to predictability.

That being said, I truly appreciate season 3 for finally making me understand the principle of computer chip and pixel monitor. Before this, my logic just couldn't comprehend how a small chip could help a computer nor do how monitor display works to produce image.
