[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be in the minority but I didn’t feel the magic like the first and second seasons. I thought there was a new writer and felt that the show lost the raw authenticity and crossed over to a predictable tv series. I will admit the ending surprised me but initially thought that the storylines were obvious, trite and had too much impending doom setups.. Seasons 1&2 were masterpieces - I couldn’t stop watching, not so much with 3.[/quote]

I agree with you to a degree.. and I think that there are few factors that contributed to certain change of the feel:

- The season 3 have been recorded during Covid epidemic.
- There is significantly less characters then in previous episodes, that added to the many smaller or larger themes,
that we did not reconnect in any way with:
grandma
her friend 
Akiva's mom
Akiva's estranged sister and her family
Alisheva and her son
The School secretary that had a crash on Akiva's death
Two other widows that had crash on him
The young lady form the train while they travel with "the baby"
The Argentina's job local boss of Lippe.. and his wife
The Matchmaker and his wife
The Stetchin rabbi who died
The Art seller who Akiva ghost painted for
The Golem guy
The other ghost painter
The first bride to be and her family

So that's a whole lot of people

I think there are more but just what I noticed during rewaching and I am only half deep into first episode.
The third season had way fewer actors and themes and just the sheer number of episodes 8.. left us  all surprised.
I personally really miss the oldest generation theme of the old folks home that somehow added some nostaliga
to the show and once that whole generation touch is gone there is some kind of hole left.

I hope that the next season if they ever make it will be more thought through, will have more lighter and uplifting moments and perhaps reconnect with some of the past characters.

Still worth watching the episode  3 certainly left to desire in my book.
