I found out yesterday that a 4th season is indeed being shot. Can’t wait to see what direction this takes.

Season 4 is on Netflix, and I rebooted my Netflix membership, at least for now, just to watch it. So far, it’s pretty good. (No spoilers!)

Appreciate the no spoilers! Thanks for not revealing that this season it’s a reality show (“Flight 828 SURVIVOR!”) with a laugh track.

Season 4, part 2 has dropped on Netflix. Time to binge-watch this weekend.

(Some idiot posted spoilers on Reddit. I’m going to tune in anyway.)

The spoilers I saw didn’t do it justice. The ending really was “that weird.”

And that’s all I’m going to say. Have a good day.

I finally got around to watching it, and enjoyed it. The ending was, if imperfect, at least satisfying.

Am I the only one who thinks Drea is just too perfect? I mean: she’s instantly loyal to Michaela when they become partners. She’s not grabby when she and Jared have a brief fling. She buys the building next to the prison so she can drill through the wall and free them. She’s willing to step aside so Jared and Michaela can be together at the end.

And what’s with the impound facility, super high-tech, sharing a WALL with an uncontrolled, run-down building. Kind of a MAJOR security hole. (yeah, pun was intentional)

And a filming logistics question: I wonder if they filmed the final scene years ago, or just got very good standins for the child actors. Similar question re Athena Karkanis (Grace) in that final scene.
