The most important growth within the newest episode is the acquisition of soccer legend Zava (Maximilian Osinski) by Richmond. It is a plot growth that may virtually actually assist the crew attain West Ham’s stage, but in addition a considerably worrying signal for the season forward. It is the ultimate season, constructing as much as the ultimate showdown the place this crew we have grown hooked up to would possibly win all of it, however their victory’s going to depend on some man we have by no means met or heard of earlier than this episode? Why add a brand new large participant in act three of a narrative, as an alternative of specializing in the core characters we have already come to know and love?

In fact, it is laborious to complain an excessive amount of concerning the present’s expansions to the world in these first few episodes; there are 11 episodes to go, in spite of everything, and it may simply end up that Zava’s a pink herring. Nate and Ted (and hopefully Nate and the opposite Richmond characters) may even virtually actually get to work together because the season goes on. It is simply simple to fret that the present won’t be benefiting from the time we’ve left with these characters. 

Such a priority is most prevalent, nonetheless, with Keeley (Juno Temple). Not solely is her and Roy’s relationship apparently over — a questionable selection, some right here at /Movie would possibly argue — however she’s now working in a separate workplace, additionally fully unconnected to what is going on on at Richmond. Whereas season 2 had her always crossing paths with all the opposite characters, season 3 has siloed her off to her personal fully separate storyline.
