Seaon 1 and 2 are great, as you probably know the character is basically Philomena Cunk looking for a job. The first two seasons are surreal and funny with a few moments where we are expected to suspend our disbelief.
Whereas with Season 3 it seems like we are being asked to suspend our disbelief for way too many episodes.
I really get the feeling that Diane is getting bored with the character or is just trying to see how much she can get a way with.
Episodes in Season 3 I thought were decent.
Episode 3 was fun and had some snooker jokes in there for the....snooker fans.
Episode 6 for the most part, goes back to the season 1 formula, and it works.
Basically it just feels like for a lot of these episodes someone said "what if we did this..." and no one said "well that makes no sense and is too stupid, there's no parody in that. What are you trying to do? Get the show cancelled? Oh that is what you want?....ok...you CAN walk out on the wing of the flying plane... twas nice while it lasted"

There's some fun moments in there. If you just ignore the silly premise that ties all the stories together and enjoy them for the fun little skits that they are, you'll enjoy it a lot more. It is pretty much all silly American potty humour. You can tell the creators don't take it too seriously but often to their detriment as a fair few skits ran the joke dry.
What kept me watching was partly fuelled by nostalgia and the fun performances from many recognisable actors from the early 2000s.
For me, this is a late night flick, best enjoyed while scrolling on your phone or having on in the background while cooking.

Most reviews here talk about the first half of the film being this masterpiece and the last portion letting them down. Without spoiling anything; Melanie says in the penultimate scene "You taught me". The script literally throws this concept at the viewer throughout the film. So in my opinion her choice makes sense, and only further adds to what such a dystopian world would do to a young childs mind. And if that last line of the film doesn't send chills down your spine, you truly weren't paying attention.
