Many reviews of season 3 are largely based around Ani's introduction and involvement in the season, mostly about how unnecessary her introduction was. But season 3 is a reset season for the show, it had to go in a new direction. Had it gone the same as season 2 it would have nosedived further. Season 2 for many reasons was not as good as the first, that's relatively unanimous and for that it was necessary for new focus and drive behind the character motives.

Is Ani's character a little annoying? Yes. Is it a little too evident at times that these teen characters are written by adults? Yes. Was she required to push the narrative in an alternate direction? Yes she was.

There are cons to this season, issues that are difficult to see past at times, however it is written incredibly well, you are kept guessing in a classic whodunnit fashion with the viewer being lead to conclusions. The camera work is quite spectacular at times especially with transitions between scenes. The acting although questionable at times can also be very believable and immersive.
