The season has an end-to-end plot about international students. Conspiracy, corruption, corporations - everything has a place to be. As well as super irony and sincerity.
I really enjoyed the new season. It turned out to be much more lively than the previous ones, not so gloomy at all, although the crimes were also serious, and there were no fewer corpses and murderers. The main character is no longer so "down in the water" and in general it has become noticeably more fun, there are just a lot of funny moments, and not as it was, occasionally, and even then through tears. The series gained lightness, overtly comedic dialogues and situations, and the plot stopped being realistically depressing. There may be no previous noir and characteristic sad originality, but such a transformation leaves quite positive impressions. Although the ending itself is probably too "happy".
I don't want to miss the gloomy style of the first seasons, but the old car of the main character is really a pity. I hope for a worthy sequel.
The ending was a bit crumpled, it doesn't happen to anyone, but in general, the scriptwriters did their best. They got a second wind, which wasn't easy to assume after the previous season, which was difficult to watch through the yes episode on rewind.
And for neo-noir, we'll find something Scandinavian, for example.
