Featured reviews
The overall season have been the best one yet, I've enjoyed it from start to finish. Taking a liking to even the so called bad guys of the show, many thanks to the superb writing. The extra year to finish season 3 was needed and made for one of the best TV Shows in 2018, with top notch drama and production design. I can't wait to see what they bring to season 4, they have built it up to be amazing.
Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos) heads back to the Neutral Zone to reconnect with her fellow freedom fighters, but soon finds herself back in San Francisco and in the hands of the Kempeitai. Under Himmler (Kenneth Tigar) the Nazi party embark on two new campaigns. They plan to reboot American by destroying historical landmarks and inspiring a new generation and, under Josef Mengele (John Hans Tester), they begin experimentation with invading the other universes. John Smith (Rufus Sewell) is viewed as even more of a hero since the sacrifice of his son, but opposition to his progress is growing and they are finding ammunition.
This was another enjoyable season. The story is good, production values are second to none and I'm glad it's focused more on Juliana and less on the Frank Frink and Joe Blake characters, both of their stories do seem to have run their natural course. The concept that the Nazi's understood where the film reels were coming from, and that they are experimenting on methods to break through the barriers between universes is somehow yet another step up in a story where the principles are already at the heart of world domination. But its how the plots fit together that make the show, how the little moments feed into the bigger ones.
Without having seen it yet, I do think that it's probably right that the show is coming to an end at the end of the next season - all that is left is for Juliana to inspire a rebellion against the Nazis, which is what I'd guess is going to happen.
As usual its the characters that carry the show. Juliana serves as the main protagonist. John Smith is the best of these, a complex man who is truly evil, yet somehow has that spark of redemption due to his devotion to his not so perfect family.

- TriviaFor the set build of the Nazi laboratory in the Poconos, the production design team made the consoles fully operational and controllable. All the buttons and switches worked, and the images on the monitors were tailored to the proposed purpose of each bay.
- GoofsDr. Mengele asks the officers to hand over their weapons before activating the Machine, because the electromagnetic field that would be created would pull all metallic objects towards it. However, none of the medals on John Smith or Himmler's uniforms are affected. It should also be noted that there is a total of about 4-5 grams of iron in a healthy human body as well (mostly in red blood cells and muscle cells), which should also have been affected by the electromagnetic field: essentially, it would all be sucked out of the body, killing everyone in the room. Magneto did something similar in X2: X-Men United (2003).
- Quotes
Obergruppenführer John Smith: [about forced volunteers] Just an average girl, far as I could see, couldn't have been more than 18.
Hawthorne Abendsen: "Average." Hmm. I wonder if her mother and father felt the same way, no?
