Slow to start but ended with a bang. I could prattle on about characters I like and dislike but I will not divulge any spoilers. What I will divulge is the ending was most unexpected...

Twists Abound

Season One? Great. Season Three? Descending towards General Hospital

In Season One I was strongly attracted to the alt-history take on the space race. But since then the series has taken a turn towards soap opera. Now it's threatening to become about about space as much as Dallas was about oil.
Ridiculous plot twists felt like a bad soap opera

Warning: Spoilers
The idea that Margot would breach national security and give the Russians nuclear secrets because of her feelings for her threatened Russian counterpart is just ridiculous. They kissed ones for five seconds and everything we know about her character says she would've gone immediately to the FBI and then fed them faulty plans.
The Danny plot line was also painful to watch. Ditto the Antarctic daughter. She's barely out of college and spent two years no make that 15 months as a junior researcher in Antarctica and suddenly she claims to be the best possible scientist to go search for life on Mars?
The whole episode felt like a soap opera, in which nearly every character crossed or double crossed somebody else, or had a terrible secret that they had to keep hidden.
I do like how they skip the time forward between major events.

Don't bother

If the USA is this bad at keeping track of key people and national secrets then they have more trouble than we can imagine. This would be a good series if it didn't go to the extremes with plot twists. First generation children off to the stars? No one else good enough in the USA or maybe the script writers want more inexplicable plot twists that are simply not plausible. Why is there a need for series today to compete with Coronation Street or Dallas? The ho hum here we go again nature of the series has become boring. Thus is no The Expanse, but I was hoping it might be. My mistake.
