This season so far is not disappointing. Some people refuse to suspend any kind of disbelief.
At times, season 2 lost me with its repetitive nature and lack of real change due to constant video calls with little variation in scenery and little progression in the "hunt for Jericho". Season 3 so far has been a breath of fresh air for the show and it continues to push its intrigue further with great momentum. The cinematography has been improved significantly, characters show greater depth, and stakes are growing. Little details and tension building bring a great payoff in this episode and this has been consistent with Season 3 so far.
Overall, very happy with where the show is going. Definitely a step in the right direction.
