So far, not as good as the first two seasons, but still entertaining. Only 3 episodes out so far so will finish and see where it goes.
Call out to Shrinking. Season 2 finished in December. A great cast and found it really good. Highly recommend

Severance, White Lotus, Zero Day, Paradise, Yellowjackets, season 2 of the Trump Administration.
