The first two seasons were well written and I generally liked them and enjoyed the show. Season 2 wasn't perfect, it had its flaws, like the fact that it was never explained how Azriel managed to go through so many worlds without his technology and how he managed to escape the spectres without being killed and also how he had such a huge headstart compared to Lyra and Will. By the time we see Azriel in season 2, he has an army and has travelled to many worlds, which is a bit of a stretch compared to how the struggled to go to the first world. And him killing Roger is only brushed off by his one sentence of saying he killed an innocent boy for no reason.
The end of season 2 is kind of dumb when I now think about it. Serafina Pekalla goes off to save Lee, but for some weird reason doesn't make it in time. Will's father finds Will and somehow forgets that he is being chased by soldiers, which in turn results in him getting killed. They could have kept moving, knowing they are in danger and had a conversation once they knew they were safe. That is what any sane person would do.
Season 3 is just bad writing. Or bad source material. Not sure which, but there are many plot holes and inconsistencies. I would forgive or simply can't remember most of those until episode 7, when Azriel and Ms. Coultier grab ahold of Metatron and plunge to their deaths. I guess the writers forgot that this guy is an angel and can fly to avoid dying. Who is the angel that Will and Lyra released from that box? We will never know. Ms. Coultier can just destroy spectres with the power of her thoughts, I guess she is a witch now or something.
Episode 8 is rubbish. Other reviewers already described it. The thing to repair everything was just about Will and Lyra falling in love? They had been falling in love since they met. So they didn't need a "serpent" to tell them to take risks for love, they had already been doing that. And yeah, as soon as this war for free will is won, Will and Lyra are told that they actually can't have free will and have to do as they are told and spend the rest of their lives apart, because apparently people can't live in other worlds, except Will's father apparently and the black guy who kept going back and forth between Will and Lyra's world, I forgot his name, the one that Ms. Coulter poisoned.
And breaking the knife will close all of the opened doors between worlds. Sooo I guess they are already closed as the knife was already broken? Or no, the plot needs this to be the case now, so now it will close all the doors... And angels can only close the doors once the knife is broken? And Will and Lyra just listen to that and agree to it? Nonesense. Why was it ok for them to travel between so many worlds in order to save the multiverse, but now they are no longer allowed? How is their love going to save the multiverse if they aren't allowed to love each other while being together?
Honestly I didn't even manage to watch this last episode until the end because of how stupid and dissapointing it made me feel about this entire show now.
