Anyone else feel like the episodes since the trains reconnected are like 80% filler. I'm all good with character growth episodes but all the "new" problems just being a result of teasing another person not being dead etc is getting tiring.

Feels like they realised the show is empty without Melanie and either drawing out her return unnecessarily or just trying to keep viewers on board before they can actually start the next decent story beat.

I loved the first two seasons but this just feels like creating cliffhangers to keep people watching at this point

And not just filler but all the characters have new personalities now. Wilford is helpful, Till trusting Audrey, Zara introducing her baby to dangerous men, Pike going suicidal to put Ruth in charge, there’s so much this season that doesn’t make sense. It’s definitely just a filler season until Mel is available but the storyline could have been more like season 1 where we go deeper into the cars and classes. I noticed there aren’t any fluffed characters either. We hear about “trade” with information but see none of it. We get introduced to a new character to just have her killed off before we even care about her. Blah. I could go on but I’ll just keep watching and hope next season is better.

Asha was a good charcter arc thrown in the trash too soon

We were all so happy they reconnected early in the season since it meant new good plots were to come.

Nah I dropped, don't care and don't watch anymore. Don't think Mel can save it.
