Omniscient (2020)
7/10
Needs more care on the writing side, but promising otherwise

Warning: Spoilers
Very good premise and overall story, good acting, excellent sets and visuals, compelling intrigue that quickly draws you in, pretty much the same strong points that made the first 2 seasons of "3%" so amazing.

They need to take more care with the realism of the plot developments though, because at times our hero gets away with too much, too easily. The worst development is how easily they get into the camera guy's house AND get him to tell them everything he knows. That was pretty stupid.

Also, some of the intermediate/transitional scenes are a bit too long - I don't need to watch someone go down 3 flights of stairs, open a door, cross a parking lot, look at the sky for a bit, then get into a car, just to find out they left the building and got into the car. It doesn't make the story more compelling or give me a better sense of what kind of person the character is. It just tests my patience for no reason.

Definitely want to see another season, hope the realism of the plot developments gets fixed, and fingers crossed that it doesn't take a nosedive like "3%" did in season 3.
