have no interest in a 3rd season of this

I just finished watching seasons 1 and 2 over the weekend. I very much enjoyed the first season...the second season not so much. There were too many gaps in logic and procedure to take this very seriously in the second season; they basically destroyed the faith I had in the plot and characters from the first season with the ludicrously written second season.

So apparently this is returning for a 3rd season this Fall (ahem)...I don't see the point. There are really only 2 ways that they can continue the plot of this, one of which would be asinine and cop-show predictable, the other would be tediously boring.

The first is, Spector somehow escapes from custody and returns to his killing spree. This would be ludicrous, and something you'd expect from a low-ambition serial crime-drama (hmm, maybe it wouldn't be so unexpected after all?).

The second is, Spector remains in custody, and he continues his mind-fùck games with Gibson, which I don't really see the point of basing 5 episodes just around this. There was already some of it at in season 2, and it was already beoming tiresome to me already.

So what else could happen to hold interest in season 3? Another killer? Yawn. Maybe Katie the Babysitter takes up Spector's work and starts killing for him! I'd tune in for that just for the laughs, though.

Same here. Not going to spend a single second with this bollocks anymore. 1st season was OKish 5/10, 2nd season just ridiculous, stupid things after another. 2/10 stars (1 star is reserved for titles I don't want to watch)

I thought the same when I watched this show last year. Only two things you mention can happened in season 3 but I watched this show again last week with my friend who want to see this. I have noticed something which may be I ignored when I saw this first Father-daughter's relationship is highlighted in the series. Paul's only week point is his daughter I know I shouldn't think like that but this can happen like something bad happened to his daughter & he blame himself and suicide. I don't think so killing Paul spector in a encounter need a 5 episodes.

That's okay...we will let you know what happens.

That's so kind of you to bother. We'll all be watching better shows so we'll try to get the memos when we have time.

Just say No to avatars.

True. I'm watching to see if it surprises me with something less predictable... I think it already has. First episode was like watching an episode of ER or casualty.

That's what I said! Then I fell asleep so I'm assuming it didn't hold my interest.

Goodnight, good luck and may your God go with you
