Season 3 was released on 5th of this month, anyone watching? Previous 2 seasons were just unbelievably awesome! Expecting same greatness this season too, I just finished 2nd episode, looks good so far.. first half of the season is generally just the buildup, fun begins in the second half, looking forward to it.

Its Amazon Prime exclusive btw...

Finished it, is only 10 episodes, want more. Over all it was pretty good.
Who administers the neutral zone?

A new supertanutral way of these worlds is being presented with the time traveler's, that was not in the previous two season was it?

So far I have decided to Nazi this show. :p For those not watching like me, what's so "unbelievably awesome" about it?

For me not awesome but good enough to watch. Especially when there are no commercials and I can watch it all together which helps with remember what happens in previous episodes. And not to get P&N but Its kinda timely for our current political situation at least some would say so. Plus it has some characters that are interesting again in relevance to days climate. And it's taken a twist I did not expect this season.
Poof!

Yep I was excited for it to release though I've only almost finished the first episode so far. Since I haven't seen much of the new season I'll refrain from giving a review but I think it'll be good.

Unexpected twists and turns mostly, great plot, very well defined and well played out characters, and great sets or graphics or special effects... Overall, its a very well made show, that does not lose its direction.

Half way through season 3. About ever episode is mutter "damn, didn't see that coming", which is refreshing. Most of the tripe on broadcast/cable TV is so damn predictable, which is a shame as the premise could make an interesting saga.

Amazon has renewed it for season 4 :)

Another thing that bothers me about amazon is the audio at least for me is very inconsistent. Have to turn it way up on some programs such as this to hear. Anyone else?

Hmmm, I don't think I've experienced this. I have my TV on volume level 10-12 90% of the time and it's pretty consistent, even watching YouTube videos.

Audio seems to be okay for me, definitely have to keep the avr louder than normal, but not too bad. My issues is when I try to wtach it on a browser, picture quality is horrible... Seems like very low color quality, even on TV I have to switch it to very bright/vivid setting. Amazon is definitely no netfNet

Travelers season 1 was good, after that it was just another time traveler show with predictable story line, lacking any freshness... In comparison, not exactly same genre but I like Colony

Season 3 of this show and Season 3 of Travelers seem have a lot in common, with alternate realities and whatnot.

I only watched up to like episode 4 or 5 or thereabouts on High Castle. I was pretty surprised and bummed that
Joe kicked the bucket
. I'll have to finish it one of these days.

I'm still kinda bummed that the American "resistance" is so weak sauce in this show. The Japanese and the Nazis are killing people wholesale, and the "resistance" can't do much more at this point than share home movies and paint pretty protest posters.

Come on, man... what happened to John Wayne era heroism? Sure, they occasionally shoot at a high ranking party official, but that just tends to piss the baddies off enough to massacre even more helpless people who refuse to fight back.

I guess that I'm hoping for less Casablanca and more Red Dawn next season :)

Sometimes. Music over-rides the conversation. Could be an old person thing.
