Great acting and tension, especially Corven!

I saw another review on this title who was somewhat negative, but I completely disagree. Especially the last episodes I couldn't get off my chair and was bound by the great storyline and sublime acting of most of the actors.

Corven is a breath of fresh air, his acting is pure emotion and perfectly executed.

The minus 1 star I have to give for the insane stupidity of each guard and person getting infected, the main characters have no trouble pulling back their hands and it takes forever to get infected, but every side character has at least 5 seconds to act but stands in dumb enfeeblement letting them get infected. There should've been somewhat more action/reaction and struggling involved in this process. The all know they have to be alert and stand in shock and let it happen.

The show is gaining more and better reviews and I believe that is well deserved. It is literally the only show I currently take my time for watching (aside from the Blacklist)

This show continues to go down hill as it progresses

I enjoyed the first season but found the show less interesting in the 2nd season. I thought it would improve.

Here we are towards the end of the 3rd season an it continues to get worse. The season started off decently enough but quickly went downhill. Tobin who professes to only love Gwynn, gets married to a childhood sweetheart for an army. He then spends the next couple episodes telling his childhood sweetheart he would never love her an he will only ever love Gwynn. Then we get to this episode. In the beginning of the episode tobin quickly flops on his love for Gwynn telling her he all the sudden realizes he really loves his childhood sweetheart an wants to stay with her.

He then goes on to tell Gwynn that spears is a great guy indicating they would be good together even though Talon and spears are together. He then says he will always love Gwynn as his queen and gives is undying loyalty to her. Honestly the guy flip flops on his feelings so often who would ever trust his word on anything?

The episode was also very predictable with a lot of unbelievable parts. Like when the gate is left wide open. Not a single person standing in the square notices the gate being wide open while the outpost is supposedly on lockdown. Ok weird. Also, everyone is aware of what is going on with the infection, how come everyone stands around while an infected passes them a kinj? An infected woman simply puts her hand on another women's face and she just stands there while the infected kinj moves down her face an across to her. Its like she didnt care.

I got into this show because I enjoy era inspired stories. The twist with blackbloods an their pet demons also made it uniquene and interesting. Tied in with the characters seeming to be developed well and likable made me watch thus far. At this point though unfortunately I am now finding most of the characters annoying and ignorant. Obviously there is one more episode in the season so i will be finishing it in hopes it can somewhat clean up this mess but even if it does, I doublt I will be returning for season 4
