We really enjoyed the first 2 seasons of Occupied. Strong characters, good acting, and an engaging (and believable) plot. The political tension was really well done, and the interpersonal dynamics between the characters did not superimpose over the main story line. It was a really good series, and when season 2 ended we eagerly anticipated the release of season 3 on Netflix.
Then season 3 arrived. Wow, what a train wreck. Mercifully, the last season was only six episodes long, but it was still hard to finish them. In the third season, the focus shifted from political tension to soap-opera like relational conflicts. Instead of going out with a bang, all the heroes sort of fade out weakly, all of them trying to make some sort of moral statement about the state of the world.
Were it not for season 3, I'd give it a 9/10. Soooooooo close to being exceptional.
